    The Lakers would also be at over $77 million in salary with LeBron, AD, and Hill.

    You wouldn't trade ET, Moe, and 25 for Otto Porter?

    Somebody has probably already posted this but I just read Klay has torn his ACL? Whew...that's a huge setback for him in a contract season

    I don’t think it is, our core is closer knit, we have better coaching, and better shooting.

    They couldn't sign Kemba (unless it was way less than the max). They also don't have bird rights on Rondo, McGee, or Bullock.

    Saying and doing are two different things. Who is gonna wanna play for Charlotte? Kemba is awesome but he can’t lure any good FA to play there.

    Lol can you fill in the blanks then? I don’t know what the hell is possible with the Lakers in the event that AD is traded there and Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, and picks are traded away.

    If Lebron's healthy though, he might still be a top 2-3 player in the NBA, and AD's a top 10 guy. We have Dame who is top 10 and our next is is like the 25-30th?

    Maybe that is the Hangup rn for them. Hill is gonna be involved unless Kuzma is sent too?

    Chemistry matters. Hell Toronto won with a top 10 player and a bunch of very good but not elite players.

    Well, they'd have to wait until the new calendar year in order to make that trade because they currently can't come up with enough money to make that trade work until they have cap space. They'd have to sign guys like they did last year which didn't go too well.

    Lol I love how fucked the Lakers are

    LeBron really should just request the trade already... no one would blame him.

    They could probably sign a guy like Cousins to $15-20 million a year but to your point that might not make them any better.
