It would seem that Ex-Lakers are in high demand nowadays and long after "we" have given up on them, many of them are thriving elsewhere...
We got one back DLO, any others you'd like to see back?
JAZZ:
Jordan Clarkson
T. Horton-Tucker
PELICANS:
Brandon Ingram
Larry Nance Jr.
KNICKS:
Josh Hart
Julius Randle
BULLS:
Lonzo Ball
Alex Caruso
Patrick Beverly
WIZARDS
Kyle Kuzma
Kendrick Nunn
Kinda makes you wonder what a starting five of Ingram, Kuzma, Randle, Clarkson and THT could do(?) _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

Not really. No ring without Davis for one.
Kuzma is inconsistent
Ingram is always hurt
Randle is ok
Clarkson is a chucker
And THT sucks. He’s terrible.

All these guys +Dlo (even if we could afford them) won’t make it past the 2nd round, so none of above
You are aware AD never made it past the second round without LBJ.
The kids were meant to play with LBJ and a second elite... but Bron decided to trade everyone to play with AD instead of patiently waiting for another elite to become available.
Again, no one has said these players could win by themselves... they were meant to play with two elites.
Now we are back in a position where we can get a good draft pick and rebuild our depth
Let's not screw it up again by trading the depth for Kyrie.

Or we could have skipped LBJ altogether and signed Butler, Kawhi, or Irving. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
You have to give it to Randle. He's been the only one who has been able to actually lead his team anywhere.
Ingram/Kuz put up great numbers, but haven't even made the playoffs. Kuz seems to put up good numbers when starting. Ingram's game is super smooth however he's struggled to get his team to wins.
Ball had a great ceiling/impact, but he's never been able to reach even close to it, and now injuries.
The one guy that seems to play with a lot of heart and can actually lead a team to the playoffs at least, that too in a high pressure market, is Randle. I gotta give him credit. He's done it twice now, and it's not easy to be the #1 option in NY. They boo him, they get on him, and they critique him. He's been able to accomplish something only Melo has done in the last 15 years in NY in terms of leading the team to the playoffs twice in a short time.
For us - I'd love to have KCP, Hart and Caruso. Those are the sort of role players you can win with around AD/Bron.
Does it matter anymore? Lakers won the chip in an era where nothing is guaranteed and injuries are at a sky high percentage. BI's the best out of all of them but he's less durable than AD, if such a thing was even possible. That's why Lakers won the trade, and the Pelicans will always be a poverty franchise that can't keep their franchise players healthy. One of BI and Zion will be gone at this rate. _________________ "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." — Gandhi

lol, THT is the starting pg for the jazz now
I was listening to their coach in postgame press conference.. He seems like a smart dude who really works well for that team. Walker Kessler and Markannen... they got another huge dude I guess they are working on too UdokaAzubuike 6'11" 270
THT got 28 mins against Celtics.. just looking at box score and he only had two turnovers..
BTW.. I just noticed the NBA website has gone high tech
His Turnover count of 2 is a hyperlink explaining how he got the turnovers on the stat sheet
-wait ..WITH videos of said turnovers.
I saw the 2nd one lol poor THT pulled a Russ in the last seconds but did well in the game though

you realize quality > quantity? also we didn't trade all the guys above for AD, some of them (JC,Nance,Dlo) were traded to make room for LBJ.
i am just going to say there is a big difference between trading for a 26 years old Unicorn PF in his prime and trading for a 31 year guard with mental issues.
