Haha LeBron in the purple and gold. Would never happen.

He prefers it in the East where he can cruse along and boast about being in 7 Finals series in a row. Coming to the Lakers would stuff that up. Besides, we need a star on the way up to grow with a developing team, not one on the way down. Wouldn't want LeBron at the Lakers.

Gee the LeBron thing is gaining steam... personally I'd rather develop our young team to rise together in a few years... hopefully when GSW are cooked.

IMO we'll get PG through trade. Don't reckon we'll have to give up much at all either (i.e. we'll keep DLO/Ingram/pick 2). Pacers will want to get something back for him.

The only reason to make me think we will trade is the fact we don't have a pick next year. Otherwise I'm happy to wait until next year. I can see him going to Cleveland for a year then coming home

Now that PG has told the Pacers his intentions I think every passing day will make Indy keener to move him on now.
If I'm the Lakers I tell Indy you can have our second round pick NOW, or lose PG for nothing next year - take it or leave it. Unless Cleveland or the Spurs can pull something out of their ass I don't think any other team will have a run at a one-year PG.
Indy really gain nothing by waiting this out. You have a guy in the locker room that has openly said he doesn't want to be there... that's not healthy. How are the fans supposed to act?
Of course, we have to offload one of Deng/Mozgov

It's a lottery system based on ladder positions, so theres no way of knowing who has what picks especially with all the protected picks etc to consider
I know that, I was just repeating what they were saying at the time on ESPN. I had this foolish idea that they may know what they are talking about

Anyone else get a horrible feeling that if the Cavs get George, he'll stay there because he wants to win?

If we somehow get rid of one of Mozgovs or Dengs contracts AND get George this off season then all faith is restored at Lakerland for me.

Get ready for Lonzo. Unless they trade the pick, he's the guy.
https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/4...-draft-lottery-2017-odds-winning-streak-karmaWe bumped out Phoenix (fourth overall pick) of a top three spot. They ended up losing more games than us and ultimately took the better odds of securing a top three pick. Our little winning streak meant we effectively swapped odds of a top three pick with them. Essentially, every win this year was crucial to us securing the number two pick, due to the wacky combination the lottery produced. Now that could also be the start of the season (we were 10-10 at one point) or the late-year run of 5-1, but either way not-tanking was justified... fortuitously.
Hope that makes sense

Yep.
I love Russell but don't mind this move. Clearing the massive Mozgov contract is a huge win - opens the door for George next year (and possibly LeBron).
Lopez is a good player. I wonder what our play is with the pick - we've got three first rounders now, we could bundle something up for a player (George?) or potentially move up the order for someone we like.

I like Lopez, and apparently it says in the latest Woj article that we're getting Caris LeVert too, who I rate
But I really hope DLo doesn't turn into a star, which I feel he will
