    Yes, but they those player will fit their needs more, particularly PF and C positions.

    I'm talking about the Lakers making a push for PG in 2018. Not his age fit with the Blazers. I'd be all for taking a chance on acquiring and resigning him.

    Ingram will have got better by 2018 and they seem to see big future in him and there is a very good chance they get one of Jackson or Isaac this Summer. If they do, PG will not fit there.

    I think the protest is that you called him a "30-year-old PG13", but he will only be 28 in the summer of 2018. 2 years is actually a pretty big difference.

    Unless PHI is involved somehow there is almost no way to trade CJ until this summer and make the math work.

    I think the shock Boogie trade has us thinking that there's going to be a flood of stars moving, and there just isn't. Unless you count maybe Derrick Rose.

    I've actually created several trades involving CJ that work under the cap without involving Philly. Or Denver. Or Brooklyn.

    It just requires like $50M in salaries changing teams in each direction.

    I'll blame the flu I'm fighting off for getting his age wrong. Nonetheless PG says is looking to win and I doubt the Lakers can turn things around enough in one year to attract him. The West is too tough for a quick rebuild with their lack of assets. He also plays the same position of their most promising rookie. PG signing there is essentially saying he'll write off competing for a title as his enters final big contract to be the next Carmelo, playing out his final elite years on an perennial doormat. I have a tough time seeing that, and I feel the Lakers are often used as leverage by agents with no sincere intention of sending their guys there.
