    I love Zach's potential but I would do this too (provided Parker's knee checked out in physical) but MIL has no bad contracts. I love that team and am starting to hate that team.

    I think they'd want to get rid of Delly or Henson.

    They might on Delly but those aren't really bad contracts. And I can't see Henson now that they got rid of Monroe.

    Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN:
    One player whose future is very unlikely to continue with the Lakers is Julius Randle.

    should the Blazers be all over it

    I had exactly the same thought - including that we STILL wouldn't have a decent SF.

    Irving has been a revelation in Boston. What's most amazing is how good their defense is - they traded their good defenders and got BETTER. Danny Ainge's best decision will always be hiring Brad Stevens.

    He's an undersized PF who can't shoot. If the Lakers don't want him, why should we?

    I really like Randle. He's on the verge of breaking out, but they're totally handcuffing him in LA, and he seemingly isn't a part of their future because of his caphold. I'll even take on Deng as a salary dump if they were willing to take on Meyers' contract.

    Deng + Randle for Meyers + Ed + Layman works. This would essentially open up 20 mil of capspace this summer for them.

    He's ballin and is probably their best player. Luke Walton is no genius. And there might be some shady shit going on with why they're not playing him much: http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=183279

    If Randle is on the verge of breaking out why would the Lakers accept a bunch of mediocre players back? Then again, Are Meyers and Layman even considered mediocre?

    Acquiring KG and Ray Ray worked out pretty well for him.

    Don't make any difference. That trade has bad KARMA written all over it. Something will happen to that team in the end.

    I'm telling you...... BAD JU JU all over the place. Ainge will pay in the end.

    Fuck no. Yeah, let's help the Lakers land LeBron James and get rewarded for it with Julius Randle...
