My money's on DLo reupping and getting traded. He's a 15m per year player and at that rate the Magic might as well prioritize Klay and KCP. |

That is the type of team that could have interest in DLO, a team looking toward making the playoffs. His playoff performance isn’t as important as his regular season performance.

Why dont he then just do 15m at 4 year deal at Orl or Spurs with no sign trade,,then the Lakers can sign a ALL-Star with the tMLE...pffft lol..Im sure you will get one for that amount. |

DLo's value has to fall into a very specific area for him to be traded for value while not having some cap space team just give him a contract.
He's most likely not going to have trade value from any team(leaving him to sign cheaply with the Lakers or another team), or a cap space team will want to give him a contract.
I personally believe he'll fall into the former category. Nothing's really changed for him from last year. He played better against DEN(still not good), but he also didn't get to have the 2 solid playoff series this time.
Last year, the Rockets gave FVV $40 million rather than entertain signing DLo. |

I can't for the life of me figure out why some fans hold onto their belief in the Lakers' role players.
They didn't even SCORE as well as these guys currently in the playoffs. If you add in defense, it's a different level.
If the LeBron and AD had the TWolves' supporting cast, they're winning the WCF right now. I firmly believe that. |

Detroit screwed the league giving Monty that deal.

No just trying to get some of you out of dream land..Nobody going to do the Lakers favors especially after this year and last year. People putting DLO in trades on a 1yr deal and when you ask why the team or DLO do it, you get a cricket response...Like come on be real.
DLO holds the 3pt made team record..Help get this team to the playoffs two times and played catch and Shoot which MOST PG DONT WANT TO DO...PG would rather have the ball in their hands and create the offense but we got LEKANG who been ball dominant since his rookie season..lol.
We then go into De-LULU LAND again looking for some All Star PG that just gong to get rid of their style and confirm to THA KANG ISO Ball WHILE STILL PUTTING UP ALL STAR NUMBERS..If thats not enough..YOU HAVE NO BENCH..REALLY? Does that sound like Contending? |

That's most likely the reason why the negotiation between Lakers and Hawks died. They wanted more than fillers in return.
Lakers: Murray
Nets: DLO
Hawks: DFS/Thomas/Gabe/1st
Resign MaxC... Oubre/Drummond/CP3/Wiseman for vet minimum.
AD/Drummond/Wiseman
Lebron/Rui/Wood

Don't hate the approach (keep AR and Rui but add Murray) but this, IMO, feels mostly unrealistic.
Oubre is somewhere between tMLE and full MLE in value. Drummond is probably BAE - tMLE.
Is that an LA first? No way Brooklyn pays the bulk price for us to get Murray. And I can't see Atlanta want 3 small guards - Trae, Cam, Gabe, and Bufkin - all on the same roster. |

dream scenario is 2 part:
1. Dlo for DFS/Sharpe (Dlo signs for around 20M)
2. Rui/Gabe/JHS and picks, swaps for DJM
Bron - 50M
AD - 43.2
DJM - 25.4
DFS - 14.9
Reaves - 12.9
Vando - 10.7
Prince - 6
Christie - 6
Sharpe - 3.9
Wood - 3
CP3 - 3
Hayes - 2.4
Cam - 2.4
Lewis - 1.8
---> 185.6 (2nd apron is 190M)
AD / Sharpe / Hayes
Bron / Vando / DFS / Wood / Prince / Cam / Lewis
DJM / AR / CP3 / Christie |

Oubre put up better numbers the season before, and he still end up as a vet guy. Drummond is also in the same boat. Usually it's hard for a vet players to get out of that vet contract once your on it, unless you provided major impact on a team.
Yes it's LA first... Hawks do get DFS and Thomas is more of a tweener SG. Gabe can provide that vet back up also. It's also uncertain if Trae stays with the Hawks. That could persuade the Hawks to take a different approach. |

I like the plan keeping at least two of the Dlo/AR/Rui trio but the proposal loses the player that set the record for most 3s in the history of the franchise in a season and his 41% from 3pt resulting in downgrading 3pt shooting in the backcourt. It also downgrades the assists/turnover ratio in the backcourt. Murray’s better defense may make up for that but if I were Dlo…don’t know what he thinks…I would be salty for the Lakers not appreciating that and walk for nothing if not included in their plans. I’d go to Orlando even for less money instead of the purgatory of the Nets, especially if it avoids helping the team that didn’t appreciate my production.
I would be shockingly surprised if Dlo agrees to a sign and trade.
I could be wrong but I expect no more than 2 possible scenarios to play out:
1- the Lakers make Dlo a part of their plans at least until Dec 15
Or
2-Dlo walks for nothing

DING MF DING...Gee somebody that GETS IT. Check the bold for those reasons i would do you very dirty.
Also do you know why we couldnt get DFS in trade deadline..They asked us to pony up 3 draft picks..for a freaking DFS..smh.
ATL also dont want to really lose DJM. Well i do know the coach wanted him not traded..moreover they paid the Spurs 4 draft picks...and they started with wanting AR...why in the blue would they do a trade and not get all the draft picks and AR?
WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYBODY WANT GABE?
...smh..I really understand more and more why other fans hate us..some Lakers fans stay in de-lulu land...like get out of there and get back to reality.. |

Is Kuzma a better fit than Rui? If not, then i would rather stick with Rui or do that package on another 3 & D player.
Im actually OK with retaining the core, add "need pieces". We already Fired the worst coach. Let the core run it back. |

No way KCP gets $20 mill per year. He plays good defense but the dude is good for a couple of donut point games for every 5 games.
KCP has always had a great agent though. KCP has been overpaid his entire career lol.
