Batum to Lakers?

[Shooter]

The Los Angeles Sun Times thinks it's a possibility . . .

Sure, give us their pick.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I fucking hope not.

 

[santeesioux]

Sure, give us their pick.

They have pretty much nothing else unless they want to give up Randle.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

The lakers think they can get everyone

 

[MickZagger]

I'd roll the dice on Randle. Really liked him coming out of college and I hate Kentucky players.

There are some concerns about Randle and Okafor being able to play with each other, you'd think they'd be able to get someone better than Batum for Randle, though.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'd take Randle+Clarkson+34 for Batum.

 

[MickZagger]

I'd take Randle+Clarkson+34 for Batum.

We'd have to give up a pick.

The Lakers would have to be of the mindset that Batum is the final piece of their championship puzzle.

HAHHAHAHAHHAH

The "Los Angeles Sun Times"? That's a paper? News to me, and I lived in LA for six years.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think its the Valley paper.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Randle would be solid.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Kobe would make Batum's life a living hell.

 

[RR7]

Kobe would make Batum's life a living hell.

What are you talking about, Nic's afraid to shoot the ball, he'd fit perfectly alongside Kobe!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Randle would be solid.

I've got to say he didn't impress me at all. Can he play defense? He's like a poor man's version of the bad pre-Memphis Zach Randolph.

I'll take their #2 pick, though, given that this is all fantasy anyway.

 

[Rhal]

For a player who has "little value" like a few people have said on this board it seems like a lot of teams want Batum. If LMA leaves I think we can get a decent haul for him Batum, Orlando might bite on him with something centered around their pick or Gordon. Not sure if I like Gordon but he makes some flashy plays and likes to play D.

Let me get this straight. There is a real possibility that Wes, Batum and LA end up on the Lakers next year? One via trade and two via free agency?

It's slightly depressing that no one seems to want to be here. I wonder if Olshey misses LA as well.

Randle and the pick sounds good.

If he can't retain our talent or get better replacements, he can go to LA too for all I care because he'll be dead to me.

Were going to find out if he is AS good as many of you feel he is...

I think you mean there's a real chance that Laker fans are delusional and think every free agent is going to desperately want to play with Kobe on his swan song, and they're all but guaranteed a title next year.

Wes did say 'shut it' you know.

[BigGameDamian]

Oh I'd love to get Tarriance Ross!

 

[julius]

I wouldn't mind getting Jabutis Cornfield.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Nickalas Batoom.

Word.

Jesus. Echo chamber much?

That same show where Wes supposedly said he didn't expect to be back, he told Jared Dudley to shut it to the idea that NO free agents want to play with Kobe.

I assume that Dudley meant that no free agent stars want to play with Kobe. Which I believe is true. Although since this is his last year I think there may be a few who can put up with him for 1 season.
