alihme88 Huh??? You don’t know ****, no offense.... Since you are (excuse word) stupid: They ain’t getting Lebron and winning a championship if they don’t get Kawhi NOW......
Lakers r stupid if this happend.. 1st ill take kawhi nx season for no cause 2nd if ill make a trade i will just throw ball hart deng and protected 1st round pick.. REMEMBER kawhi is not "healthy" at this point and we dont have to rush this why? If kawhi gonna walk out of them they got nothing.. so the spurs have to trade him while the iron is hot.. if they trade him to other teams and kawhi dont want to play there and nxyr the trade value of him in other team is very low 3rd trade ball randle deng and 1st round no protection How about that! #LaALLday #L4L
TexasReppin210 Ben Simmons isn’t a trade-able player for Philly. Brett Brown said numerous times they wouldn’t give up anyone in the league for Simmons or Embiid. Even if the warriors offered Curry Thompson and Durant for one of those guys, the answer would still be no. Sixers will trade Markelle Fultz, Robert Covington, and their 2021 lottery pick for Kawhi.
The narrative "just get Kawhi " is not wise for the Lakers. LeBron or not, Cleveland is going no where, LeBron knows this. Furthermore, Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, all under 24, are worth more than one Kawhi.
Tamar Tamar pick a new team my Lakers need to keep building fuck these vets like our young players said we're trying to be the max players for the Lakers
Lakers should keep young core and build. Kawhi has to prove he can play a full season without injury and will his talents might not work under Waltons offense. Keep BI and Kuzma and Hart and wait til next season Klay will be happy to come to LA
The Lakers are throwing away everything they've built just for Lebron to reach another finals. It's ridiculous, the Lakers can be contenders for the next 10 years if they keep it up, but they would rather compete 2 or 3 years against a team they won't beat (warriors).
Ingram, Kuzma, Hart & 2 1st's WOW, way too much. At least got rid of Deng's contract. I disagree that that the Lakers have no leverage. If they walk, the Lakers get hurt, but if Leonard tells everyone he's not re-signing, what can Spurs get ? They need to rebuild as well. Re-sign Brook Lopex to a 1 year deal even though it will put you over the cap.
It's not like we are getting Lebron for these players. We are getting him as a Free Agent & a max contract. You are talking about gutting the entire team for 1 player (not 2). Ingram & Kuzma (& Deng's contract) would be more than enough. You are talking about 2 1st team All Rookie team players & very possibly future all star.
fanman71 lebron will come if Kawhii comes I assure you. And essentially you are trading them for 2 players. How can u not see that? And you get to get rid of deng. Man that shit is a bargain
Can't gut the team for this. They would have no one around them & no future by giving away all those 1st round draft picks. The Spurs either trade him now or lose him for a lot less going forward. Essentially destroy the entire youth movement of Lakers. Kawhi is a great player but he is coming off an injury & he's already to leave next year for nothing. It's about what others can offer, which is not even getting close to the Lakers.
fanman71 Kawhi is a superstar I think you go all in the 2 first are going to be late round picks BI is a great player you get rid of dengs contract after you do that Lebron will commit aslo PG13 and there you go championship contenders
Love the point about getting some Vets on the cheap, something a lot of people don't think about when assessing this potential super team, they see Kawhi + Lebron and possibly PG13 but nothing else that they would inevitably add because of having those stars.
The third trade in this list is the best option if I'm the Lakers. Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle fit the best with the Spurs system than Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart, those three fit better playing with Paul George and LeBron James.
Everyone is expecting a Spurs-Lakers straight up deal but in reality this is gonna end up with a 3-4 team deal like most blockbuster trades. Magic is not dumb to gut this team to get one player. Both teams might be calling around right now to make a deal work.
seems as if pg13 is mixed up emotionally between signing with lakers or staying with the thunder. It's simple to me paul you can stay with thunder basically you and Westbrook playing 2 on 5 and get bounced right back out in first round again by a team who plays within a team concept!!! Or you can come home in L.A. with family and love 1's play this young,fast exciting basketball style with lakers young core who are not only more talented than any player on okc individually besides russ but play TEAM CONCEPT by sharing the BASKETBALL on top of having a point guard who looks to pass first and possibly have a better record than okc possibly take lakers farther than russ took okc which is a improvement on lakers behalf since recent memories so it won't be the same criticism as russ and okc who were literally1 game away being in finals ultimately letting kd walk!!! No no no this will be different if pg13 can to lakers with this young core and i know as a fan i definitely won't hold him and lakers to high expectations cause i understand the process but i would expect least a playoff appearance thought other than that pg13 and lakers will be playing with house money till another star comes along unless bi,zo and kk play @ all star level!!!
Well he just re-signed with the Thunder, it seems his friendship with Russ is more important plus they can still work it out and improve. And sorry LAL fans looks like you ain't having Lebron either, the queen likes to play with a fellow star player. Atleast you have Deng lol
If magic will do this trade loosing kuz and bi for kawhi? Hell no..i will be very disappointed. Its a high risk trade for all you know kawhi may no resign next summer when he is free agent... If they want kawhi wait next year guys...
I would not trade Kuzma, Ingram and Hart or Ball for Leonard. I would wait and sign him for free. I would not sign LeBron James. He'll be 34 and has more miles on his body than George and Leonard combined. Plus he plays sporadic defense and is ball dominant. The Lakers can chill this season and focus on 2019.
According to sources lebron won't consider lakers unless magic trade for kawhi ???? This exactly why i don't want bron!!! He hasn't even played a game yet as western conference player and already making dam demands to what he wants smh!!! FOH bron bron lol you don't know how long real laker fans been waiting to get back in the mix of ships!!! We got a great young core intact we had to go threw not only rough but some of worse seasons in franshise history just to receive this core!!! LBJ is the so called best player in the world man go figure it out how to beat GS somewhere else leave lakers alone man!!! We ain't expecting to win ships till our core gel little more and better with least 2 stars who would die a laker!! Not for your convenience just to add on your legacy so you can make your case as the greatest when it's all said and done!!! I want pg13 and kawhi with this core @ end of day even if it takes till after 2019 by then all other teams been beat up each other they won't know what put them outta their miseries!!!✊
Why not sign and trade Isiah Thomas or Julius Randle, Luol Deng, Josh Hart, and 2 first round picks for Kawhi and Patti Mills or Gasol. Haven't heard anyone talk about this? Spurs get rid of a contract while getting an equal injured Allstar player in IT. Luol Deng fits the mold of coach on the floor and bench and still produce, and Josh Hart starts right away at the 2 or 3. Deal done!! lol
Die hard Laker fan here. In order for this to be enticing for Spurs would be trade package #3. Sign and trade Randle, Ingram, Deng, and 1st picks for Leonard. The first one is a VERY hefty asking price for someone yeah he is a top 5 guy, but who hasn't played in what...73 games? Played only 9 games last year. If there is a package that is fair and still kinda hefty on the side it's Randle,Ingram, Deng, and 1st rd picks...
Yeah, because contendig for the next 8 years is worse than taking Lebron to the WCF for 1 or 2 years, just to lose to the warriors or Boston. This would be even more retarded than the nets trade.
This trade is not necessary AT ALL, the Lakers have been tanking for a while, they are completing a process, they don't need to win NOW, because they are set for years to come when the warriors don't dominate anymore. Trading your future to try and beat the warriors for a year or 2 is the worst possible move. They need to keep Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, Hart and Randle.
Just keep the young core players that we have right now. We even drafted two good players that can make us playoff team within 2-3 years. Just get rid of Deng's contract then we will be fine. Enjoy watching young players improve and get better each year. Let them jell together!
This is not too expensive. Really they should be thought of as two trades. The first trade is Kawhi Leonard for Brandon Ingram Kyle Kuzma and a first round pick. The second trade Deng Josh heart and a first round pick and the Spurs send back a trade exception with their cap Space to eat the Luol Deng contract. The space created by the second deal leaves the Lakers with enough money to sign LeBron and Paul George. The painful part is that It cost a first round pick and josh heart to dump Deng. This is totally worth it
F that bull💩 don't make that trade the young guys we got are very good!! Why give up all them for a guy that want to be a laker let's just wait to next year if we can't get him this year
Is Kawhi even cleared to play this upcoming season? If not, than the trade is not worth it. The Lakers should just wait for Kawhi next season. Until he is proven he can come back to the court and play, than you go after him.
That first trade reminds of what the Knicks did to get Melo from Denver. They are gutting the team for one player. The only scenario this happens is if the Lakers already have a contingency plan in place with Lebron. If not, it's going to be a long couple of years for the Lakers.
If the Lakers tell the spurs to kick rocks their options with Kawai Will be to pray that he signs the Supermax or trade him for a considerably crappier deal to a team that Kawai will notify that he has no intentions of re-signing with them.
How dont we know what Kawhi wants? He used to live in LA and liked the Lakers as a kid. He wants to be in LA as a Laker. Lakers trade Ingram, Kuzma, 1st, 2nd, Deng for Kawhi and a player to make the salary work.
If u could discern the next 5 yrs, would you sign away Kobe Bryant & Penny Hardaway for kawhi...? plus other picks & pieces....? there's NO way in hell LA should do that, bcuz kawhi is Not THAT good or important, has injury's, seems unmotivated & disconnects... Ingram & Hart & a 1st rnd pick. take it or lose him later for nothing!!!!
Did you see what happened to the past free agents who la thought they could wait for? Even waiting for pg might have cost them seeing how it look line he might stay in okc
Ryan Barth if you want kwahi next year along with LeBron and pg13 you're gonna have to get rid of all these young guys. With 3 Max contracts, no way in he'll you could afford any of them
PG is don't a sports center special on his decision to stay in OKC? Get serious he knew this was coming ESPN probably gave him a million or 2... He already working on getting some of the money he about to lose back... Think about it
Adam Guerrero how about their bench?? They are trading away their young guns they only have 11million left to fill their bench i mean thats about 8 more players
They will get Kawhi next year anyway. The spurs are asking for WAAAAAY too much. They want Ingram, Kuzma and Randle, fucke the spurs. The lakers should focus on getting Paul george and Lebron, then Kawhi joins next year and they have the deepest team in the league.
José Francisco well if they get kawhi next yr they cannot have 3 max pkayers without having sacrifice. I dont know if kawhi wanted to have sacrifice next yr.
Dude Kawhi doesn't want a Max contract, he doesn't give a damn about money. He's been carrying a bunch of old washed up bums since day 1, the guy cares more about family and intangible things, that's why he wanted out when he felt betrayed.
José Francisco lets just see man.. If the lakers can move away dengs contract and can trade randle and all their bench except lonzo, ingram, kuzma and lebron will not take max also pg then maybe. But if kawhi leaves spurs next yr we will be recieving 188 million 31 million less if he opt to stay in spurs so let see. This scenario is very very very difficult
If the Lakers have the idea of trading for Kawhi, they need a 3rd team involved. Sorry, but Ingram & Kuzma, to me, are off limits. I would say resign Randle, then send him with Ball, Deng, Hart and a couple draft picks. Hence a 3rd team this way they get the picks a possibly more players to swap and move to SAS.
why not Sign and Trade Randle? add Kuzma, Deng and the 2019 & 2020th 1st round picks? thats way way worth a deal for Leonard. im not both trading Ingram and Kuzma if i were the lakers
The lakers have a great younger team. Don't trade for Kawhi, just wait for PG13 and the King to come on their own. David West got a title with the W's. UNsubed
Never said I am a Lakers fan. Why not keep the good base they have and just add James and Paul? Kawhi might not even been the same again, think TMac, Penny, Oden and the list goes on.
tamar tamar - I do, but you need at least 8 quality players to beat a Golden State, and that won’t happen for the lakers if they trade essentially their whole young core. Hopefully they won’t have to even think about that now that Paul George has declared. Think about it, would Popovich make any trade with the Lakers that would make the Lakers better?
this one is hard because i want to see what improvements BI and Kuzma have made to their game. BI has gotten better every year and I believe he can be a 20+ ppg guy. same with kuzma. If the two of them have improved there is no need to TRADE for kawhi, just wait for 2019 free agency. yes a big 3 would be awesome but thats all you would have If the lakers were to sign lebron and paul george look at the starting line up : Lebron , paul george , Brandon ingram , Kyle kuzma (or randle ) and if you want to play small randle at the center. now lets say paul george stays with okc. the lakers should sign lebron and...................Demarcus cousins OOOOOOOO.. I almost like that better, check out this starting line-up. lebron james, brandon ingram, kyle kuzma , julius randle, demarcus cousins , thats a contender
That is way too expensive.. remember, Kwahi is coming off an injury.. it is the Lakers who have the leverage.. you are nuts if you think SAS has the leverage here.. no thanks with that trade..
I appreciate and got mad love for magic for his statement giving himself a time frame to bring in a star or stars!!! But if we're gonna really be realist the truth is even if magic can't bring stars which i believe he will but it's not like real lakers fan gonna stop supporting our team!! I know I'm still gonna be buying that purple and gold merchandise,purchase tickets,pay for the network and so on!! It's cool magic made this statement but the thing is i don't believe he's under as much pressure as it feels based on fact #1 he's cleaning up jimmy boy mess and most importantly we actually have a vision or ideal what we can potentially become giving us overall a better sense on direction our team is heading!! We have talented young core who plays in system that will teach them how to play basketball the right way by sharing the ball around and all that good stuff!!! It seems like majority laker fans i see and talk with all love the young core and don't want them to split up which proves in reality if we don't land a star we're still thrilled about the young core!! Again i love magic i believe in magic but end of day like kobe said if star player ain't trying to walk threw them doors with the mentality that their gonna win then their not cut out for those guidelines period!!! Star or no stars our young core is coming hopefully the system that's intact helps develope our core faster so we could be competing in play off!! Shit hell i know a couple of teams who got least 2 stars on their roster but they ain't nearly as good as they should be cause their system sux!!!#LAKER NATION.
Randle and Deng alone would combine for more than 40M how would the Spurs do that? Plus if Randle stays you can kiss PG goodbye they're both gonna get that bag..
If Lebron wants a winning team, he needs to "sacrifice a lil'" and take less, like 20 or 25m.(O' the sufferings') : ] I will hate the lakers if they blow up their team for the Big names!!! and along w/ millions of irritated fans, prob. wont even watch them. I love the youth, energy, chemistry & potential they have RT NOW!!! Add ONE piece, but Leave the core ALONE!!!
Trade #2 minus trading Zo and Hart, if they can't see the value in Kuz and the potential to replenish their team with #1 picks, fukk it, get Kawhi next year....spurs want to apply pressure but they not in position for it
The Spurs will then be a problem in the west with pop and a fresh batch of young players i wouldn't do it, how many games did kawhi play again this year?
i say dont trade for any of the Big names. Keep the young core that we have right now, PAY Randle the max, bring back Brooke Lopez, save money for another year, don't give up Ingram,Kuzma&Hart because there soo young and they proved capable on both sides of the floor and the Lakers don't have to WIN RIGHT AWAY! Look how the Warriors panned out for example they didn't rush to big names, they were just patient! If they make a trade (when they don't need to) Lakers are going to feel it REALLY BAD in the next 3-5 years.
I don't think the Lakers need Paul George . Kuzma can be better than Paul George. he cost less money and they can keep randle as a 6th man and add better bench player . They can bring Reddick since he played in los Angeles before .
So the Lakers dream scenerio is 3 superstars, a bunch of scrubs and no bench? This team would still lose to the Warriors.
6 лет назад
Why trade for any star players at this point...They are going to be fa agents soon...Keep the youngins and add stars. Our bench will be another starting lineup
Honest question.... Does Kobe Bean Bryant still have any gas in his tank # 6 man of the year and come back player also... LeBron, Kobe, Boogie,Vet minimum and Mid level exception and still got all the youngsters and julius.... Maybe we move Randal n 1st rounder more cap space # Atlanta # Charlotte # Miami # Orlando
If the Lakers trade the young core I might as fucking well rip the Lakers jersey off my back and wear the Spurs Jersey god damn...KEEP THE CORE LAKERS.
Why would the lakers need to pay so much when the Celtics won't even give up a Tatum or Brown??? And, no, lakers aren't the ones that need to step up and outbid for kawhi. SA needs to realize that they're not going to get anything close to what you're suggesting from Boston or the clippers. I'd rather the Lakers focus on George, and wait next year to sign kawhi when he's an ufa And if George doesn't workout, just wait till 2019. No way you give up everything for kawhi, when you don't have to.
If this is true magic should just walk away today! Why on earth would you trade away to young up and coming stars in this league for one star? Makes no sense!!

Where will Kawhi play this season?
Chat Sports I believe he going to so cal
Lakers!
Where's Paul George in #2 and #3 Options?
Philly
alihme88 Huh??? You don’t know ****, no offense.... Since you are (excuse word) stupid: They ain’t getting Lebron and winning a championship if they don’t get Kawhi NOW......
Ingraham and kuzma? Hell no
OKAYYYY 😂😂😂appreciate ya remember we got LONNIE WALKER & Metu n draft
That's what its gonna take to get Kawhi, Pop & R.C aren't stupid and just give their rivals a top 3 or 4 player for nothing
OKAYYYY there not bad players at bro
You can't even spell Ingram, you definitely haven't watched them play.
Lakers r stupid if this happend..
1st ill take kawhi nx season for no cause
2nd if ill make a trade i will just throw ball hart deng and protected 1st round pick.. REMEMBER kawhi is not "healthy" at this point and we dont have to rush this why? If kawhi gonna walk out of them they got nothing.. so the spurs have to trade him while the iron is hot.. if they trade him to other teams and kawhi dont want to play there and nxyr the trade value of him in other team is very low
3rd trade ball randle deng and 1st round no protection
How about that!
#LaALLday #L4L
Don't do it Magic, resign Randall and wait until next year, we don't need the King in LA. Keep the young core together!
Stupid fucc
I don't wanna lose Ingram, or Kuzma but Kawhi a beast tho
Martin Tramil Don’t do it , Keep young core , Ingram and Kuzma No way they are Future all stars 🤯
Im not calling him the king but yeah we don't need that guy in L.A. and Ingram will be better than Khawhi anyway
idiots
As a SPURS fan appreciate ya Lakers 😂😂😂😂😂😂 remember we got Lonnie WALKER & Metu this yr
BlacK Ra spurs won this trade bruh.. They can automatically rebuilt.. Kuz, ingram, hart, deng, two round picks damn
Lawrence Torres what? The lakers are getting Kawhii and lebron cuz u know bron wants someone else to come there first. Nobody loses in this trade
Goatin Aroun LeBron not going 😂😂😂😂 maybe Paul George LeBron u neva know he's flakey can't trust him B careful
BlacK Ra if Kawhii goes, then lebron will follow
Goatin Aroun how do u know this?
coach pop spoke to kawhi last night, the relationship isn't salvageable, so the spurs are gonna trade him NOW!
akui88 Time to get kuzma, ingram and some draft picks from the lakers if not trade kawhi to 76ers for ben simmons and some draft picks.
TexasReppin210 Ben Simmons isn’t a trade-able player for Philly. Brett Brown said numerous times they wouldn’t give up anyone in the league for Simmons or Embiid.

J Circ You're an idiot
As a Spurs fan I like trade #1 the most
Kawaii won’t be the same without The coach who made him
The narrative "just get Kawhi " is not wise for the Lakers. LeBron or not, Cleveland is going no where, LeBron knows this. Furthermore, Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, all under 24, are worth more than one Kawhi.
Nicolas Dane you dont care bout championships or you aint a real laker fan, no offense....
Nicolas Dane you have no clue, Kawhi is worth it, he's one in million, the others are just average compared to him.
Tamar Tamar pick a new team my Lakers need to keep building fuck these vets like our young players said we're trying to be the max players for the Lakers
Tyrell Brent You can't force talent down those young players throats. Either they got it or they don't, that's why you need proven vets.
Kawhi just turned 27 though he’s still fairly young
Lakers should keep young core and build. Kawhi has to prove he can play a full season without injury and will his talents might not work under Waltons offense. Keep BI and Kuzma and Hart and wait til next season Klay will be happy to come to LA
The Lakers are throwing away everything they've built just for Lebron to reach another finals.
It's ridiculous, the Lakers can be contenders for the next 10 years if they keep it up, but they would rather compete 2 or 3 years against a team they won't beat (warriors).
Klay would be a perfect fit. The squad will have improved immeasurable by then too
Ingram needs to prove he can play a full season. London. Already missing 30 games. I don’t want to hear about missing games bruh
I doubt klay will b leaving gsw anytime soon!!
Ingram, Kuzma, Hart & 2 1st's WOW, way too much. At least got rid of Deng's contract.
I disagree that that the Lakers have no leverage. If they walk, the Lakers get hurt, but if Leonard tells everyone he's not re-signing, what can Spurs get ? They need to rebuild as well.
Re-sign Brook Lopex to a 1 year deal even though it will put you over the cap.
fanman71 that’s not way too much. You’re getting Kawhii and lebron. If u think that’s too much for both of them then you’re delusional
It's not like we are getting Lebron for these players. We are getting him as a Free Agent & a max contract. You are talking about gutting the entire team for 1 player (not 2).

Can't gut the team for this. They would have no one around them & no future by giving away all those 1st round draft picks. The Spurs either trade him now or lose him for a lot less going forward. Essentially destroy the entire youth movement of Lakers. Kawhi is a great player but he is coming off an injury & he's already to leave next year for nothing. It's about what others can offer, which is not even getting close to the Lakers.
fanman71 Kawhi is a superstar I think you go all in the 2 first are going to be late round picks BI is a great player you get rid of dengs contract after you do that Lebron will commit aslo PG13 and there you go championship contenders

That's the most painful part is giving up Ingram or Kuzma.
If it happens, managers of Lakers are not crazy, but stupid. Period.
Everyone is expecting a Spurs-Lakers straight up deal but in reality this is gonna end up with a 3-4 team deal like most blockbuster trades. Magic is not dumb to gut this team to get one player. Both teams might be calling around right now to make a deal work.
Like the analysis and the Kanye reference. Great vid!
seems as if pg13 is mixed up emotionally between signing with lakers or staying with the thunder. It's simple to me paul you can stay with thunder basically you and Westbrook playing 2 on 5 and get bounced right back out in first round again by a team who plays within a team concept!!! Or you can come home in L.A. with family and love 1's play this young,fast exciting basketball style with lakers young core who are not only more talented than any player on okc individually besides russ but play TEAM CONCEPT by sharing the BASKETBALL on top of having a point guard who looks to pass first and possibly have a better record than okc possibly take lakers farther than russ took okc which is a improvement on lakers behalf since recent memories so it won't be the same criticism as russ and okc who were literally1 game away being in finals ultimately letting kd walk!!!

Kawhi is great but that’s to much to give up
If magic will do this trade loosing kuz and bi for kawhi? Hell no..i will be very disappointed. Its a high risk trade for all you know kawhi may no resign next summer when he is free agent... If they want kawhi wait next year guys...
I would not trade Kuzma, Ingram and Hart or Ball for Leonard. I would wait and sign him for free. I would not sign LeBron James. He'll be 34 and has more miles on his body than George and Leonard combined. Plus he plays sporadic defense and is ball dominant. The Lakers can chill this season and focus on 2019.
Ingraham,Hart and 1st Rd pick will be involved for sure. Spurs love Hart
Do not trade young core
Don't trade kuzma pls
According to sources lebron won't consider lakers unless magic trade for kawhi ???? This exactly why i don't want bron!!! He hasn't even played a game yet as western conference player and already making dam demands to what he wants smh!!! FOH bron bron lol you don't know how long real laker fans been waiting to get back in the mix of ships!!! We got a great young core intact we had to go threw not only rough but some of worse seasons in franshise history just to receive this core!!! LBJ is the so called best player in the world man go figure it out how to beat GS somewhere else leave lakers alone man!!! We ain't expecting to win ships till our core gel little more and better with least 2 stars who would die a laker!! Not for your convenience just to add on your legacy so you can make your case as the greatest when it's all said and done!!! I want pg13 and kawhi with this core @ end of day even if it takes till after 2019 by then all other teams been beat up each other they won't know what put them outta their miseries!!!✊
Jay Vontay Swing I agree
Give them one of the youngsters Deng and our next pick.. If not... Fuck it
I doubt that this trade will work
lakers will sign Cousins , lebron and Kawhi comes in a trade. I would put money on this.Gonna happen by the 2nd
This reminds me of the Carmelo trade to the Knicks
Why not sign and trade Isiah Thomas or Julius Randle, Luol Deng, Josh Hart, and 2 first round picks for Kawhi and Patti Mills or Gasol. Haven't heard anyone talk about this? Spurs get rid of a contract while getting an equal injured Allstar player in IT. Luol Deng fits the mold of coach on the floor and bench and still produce, and Josh Hart starts right away at the 2 or 3. Deal done!! lol

If there is a package that is fair and still kinda hefty on the side it's Randle,Ingram, Deng, and 1st rd picks...
The Los Angeles Lakers would be stupid to Throw away their young team like that smfh
rush rush Huh??? They be more stupid for passing the opportunity to be champions this coming season.......
Yeah, because contendig for the next 8 years is worse than taking Lebron to the WCF for 1 or 2 years, just to lose to the warriors or Boston.
This would be even more retarded than the nets trade.
José Francisco again huh??? You really think they be champions if they dont do this like necessary trade?????
This trade is not necessary AT ALL, the Lakers have been tanking for a while, they are completing a process, they don't need to win NOW, because they are set for years to come when the warriors don't dominate anymore.
Trading your future to try and beat the warriors for a year or 2 is the worst possible move. They need to keep Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, Hart and Randle.
Is better to build from the draft then to rush to get a championship you see the Golden State Warriors
Just keep the young core players that we have right now. We even drafted two good players that can make us playoff team within 2-3 years. Just get rid of Deng's contract then we will be fine. Enjoy watching young players improve and get better each year. Let them jell together!
This is not too expensive. Really they should be thought of as two trades.
The first trade is Kawhi Leonard for Brandon Ingram Kyle Kuzma and a first round pick.
The second trade Deng Josh heart and a first round pick and the Spurs send back a trade exception with their cap Space to eat the Luol Deng contract.
The space created by the second deal leaves the Lakers with enough money to sign LeBron and Paul George.
The painful part is that It cost a first round pick and josh heart to dump Deng. This is totally worth it
F that bull💩 don't make that trade the young guys we got are very good!! Why give up all them for a guy that want to be a laker let's just wait to next year if we can't get him this year
Is Kawhi even cleared to play this upcoming season? If not, than the trade is not worth it. The Lakers should just wait for Kawhi next season. Until he is proven he can come back to the court and play, than you go after him.
That first trade reminds of what the Knicks did to get Melo from Denver. They are gutting the team for one player. The only scenario this happens is if the Lakers already have a contingency plan in place with Lebron. If not, it's going to be a long couple of years for the Lakers.
They’ll Regret Trading B.I.
If the Lakers tell the spurs to kick rocks their options with Kawai Will be to pray that he signs the Supermax or trade him for a considerably crappier deal to a team that Kawai will notify that he has no intentions of re-signing with them.
Why spurs wanaa lonzo??? Nobody wanna deal with lavar
yess i go with #3 hope it happen
How dont we know what Kawhi wants? He used to live in LA and liked the Lakers as a kid. He wants to be in LA as a Laker.
Lakers trade Ingram, Kuzma, 1st, 2nd, Deng for Kawhi and a player to make the salary work.
I think trade number 3️⃣ is the best for the lakers because they’ll get kawhi and keep a couple of young players
If u could discern the next 5 yrs, would you sign away Kobe Bryant & Penny Hardaway for kawhi...?
plus other picks & pieces....?
there's NO way in hell LA should do that, bcuz kawhi is Not THAT good or important, has injury's, seems unmotivated & disconnects... Ingram & Hart & a 1st rnd pick.
take it or lose him later for nothing!!!!
That's way too much, san Antonio would be pulling a roberry.
If he said he’s going to sign with the Lakers in free agency why would the Lakers give up everything to get him now
I doubt they offer that much if they can just get him next season
Did you see what happened to the past free agents who la thought they could wait for? Even waiting for pg might have cost them seeing how it look line he might stay in okc
Ryan Barth if you want kwahi next year along with LeBron and pg13 you're gonna have to get rid of all these young guys. With 3 Max contracts, no way in he'll you could afford any of them
Ryan Barth
Desperate teams make desperate decisions lol...😂😂😂😂
PG is don't a sports center special on his decision to stay in OKC? Get serious he knew this was coming ESPN probably gave him a million or 2... He already working on getting some of the money he about to lose back... Think about it
Dang what will happend if kawhi will be free agent next season?? This is one sided trade. Lakers cant win
Adam Guerrero how about their bench?? They are trading away their young guns they only have 11million left to fill their bench i mean thats about 8 more players
They will get Kawhi next year anyway.
The spurs are asking for WAAAAAY too much.
They want Ingram, Kuzma and Randle, fucke the spurs.
The lakers should focus on getting Paul george and Lebron, then Kawhi joins next year and they have the deepest team in the league.
José Francisco well if they get kawhi next yr they cannot have 3 max pkayers without having sacrifice. I dont know if kawhi wanted to have sacrifice next yr.
Dude Kawhi doesn't want a Max contract, he doesn't give a damn about money.
He's been carrying a bunch of old washed up bums since day 1, the guy cares more about family and intangible things, that's why he wanted out when he felt betrayed.
José Francisco lets just see man.. If the lakers can move away dengs contract and can trade randle and all their bench except lonzo, ingram, kuzma and lebron will not take max also pg then maybe. But if kawhi leaves spurs next yr we will be recieving 188 million 31 million less if he opt to stay in spurs so let see. This scenario is very very very difficult
Kuzma or Ingram, Not both! Both will be scoring 20pts a game this year for spurs. Hart will be great too.
Dont even think of doing that trade
LeBron at 4 Kawhi at 3 where does Randle fit in?
Not to bad I'll make that trade
If the Lakers have the idea of trading for Kawhi, they need a 3rd team involved. Sorry, but Ingram & Kuzma, to me, are off limits. I would say resign Randle, then send him with Ball, Deng, Hart and a couple draft picks. Hence a 3rd team this way they get the picks a possibly more players to swap and move to SAS.
Rumor is. Ingram and 1 first round pick was offered
why not Sign and Trade Randle? add Kuzma, Deng and the 2019 & 2020th 1st round picks? thats way way worth a deal for Leonard. im not both trading Ingram and Kuzma if i were the lakers
The lakers have a great younger team. Don't trade for Kawhi, just wait for PG13 and the King to come on their own.
David West got a title with the W's. UNsubed
Jason Lashley You aint a real lakers fan and you being (excuse word) stupid, no offense...
Never said I am a Lakers fan. Why not keep the good base they have and just add James and Paul? Kawhi might not even been the same again, think TMac, Penny, Oden and the list goes on.
Jason Lashley - The trade these idiots are talking about will never happen, Magic Johnson isn’t stupid.
dngrrus ...you dont want tha lakers to win a championship.....
tamar tamar - I do, but you need at least 8 quality players to beat a Golden State, and that won’t happen for the lakers if they trade essentially their whole young core. Hopefully they won’t have to even think about that now that Paul George has declared.
Think about it, would Popovich make any trade with the Lakers that would make the Lakers better?
this one is hard because i want to see what improvements BI and Kuzma have made to their game. BI has gotten better every year and I believe he can be a 20+ ppg guy. same with kuzma. If the two of them have improved there is no need to TRADE for kawhi, just wait for 2019 free agency. yes a big 3 would be awesome but thats all you would have
If the lakers were to sign lebron and paul george look at the starting line up : Lebron , paul george , Brandon ingram , Kyle kuzma (or randle ) and if you want to play small randle at the center.
now lets say paul george stays with okc. the lakers should sign lebron and...................Demarcus cousins OOOOOOOO.. I almost like that better, check out this starting line-up. lebron james, brandon ingram, kyle kuzma , julius randle, demarcus cousins , thats a contender
Yes the will. Go Lakers
Did this clown just say Mo Wagner can give u what Kuzma can give u?!?! I block these dudes videos that was blasphemy if i ever heard it
He said he can give you 80-85% of what Kuzma can give you. Is that really that outlandish?
King Ellis man Wagner gone end up in the D league
Wagner’s playing style just seems different
The first trade is ridiculous. Kawhi barely played last season and you think some team is going to give up their future for that? Mad dumb
david west has two championships. thats not title hunting
Have mercy, way top much Leonard
What about Randle hart deng kuz and picks
That is way too expensive.. remember, Kwahi is coming off an injury.. it is the Lakers who have the leverage.. you are nuts if you think SAS has the leverage here.. no thanks with that trade..
I appreciate and got mad love for magic for his statement giving himself a time frame to bring in a star or stars!!! But if we're gonna really be realist the truth is even if magic can't bring stars which i believe he will but it's not like real lakers fan gonna stop supporting our team!! I know I'm still gonna be buying that purple and gold merchandise,purchase tickets,pay for the network and so on!! It's cool magic made this statement but the thing is i don't believe he's under as much pressure as it feels based on fact #1 he's cleaning up jimmy boy mess and most importantly we actually have a vision or ideal what we can potentially become giving us overall a better sense on direction our team is heading!! We have talented young core who plays in system that will teach them how to play basketball the right way by sharing the ball around and all that good stuff!!! It seems like majority laker fans i see and talk with all love the young core and don't want them to split up which proves in reality if we don't land a star we're still thrilled about the young core!! Again i love magic i believe in magic but end of day like kobe said if star player ain't trying to walk threw them doors with the mentality that their gonna win then their not cut out for those guidelines period!!! Star or no stars our young core is coming hopefully the system that's intact helps develope our core faster so we could be competing in play off!! Shit hell i know a couple of teams who got least 2 stars on their roster but they ain't nearly as good as they should be cause their system sux!!!#LAKER NATION.
I think I will become a Celties fan if this happens
Trade Ball,Hart and three number 1 First Round. Ball needs to score 20 points a game.
That 3rd scenario I would do for Kawhi
San Antonio Spurs don't want to deal with Lonzo Ball because of his daddy 😄😄😄😄.
Phoenix Suns will have to take Lonzo Ball in a separate trade.
Lakers can just walk away and wait for next season..
Randle and Deng alone would combine for more than 40M how would the Spurs do that? Plus if Randle stays you can kiss PG goodbye they're both gonna get that bag..
If Lebron wants a winning team, he needs to "sacrifice a lil'" and take less, like 20 or 25m.(O' the sufferings') : ]
I will hate the lakers if they blow up their team for the Big names!!!
and along w/ millions of irritated fans, prob. wont even watch them.
I love the youth, energy, chemistry & potential they have RT NOW!!!
Add ONE piece, but Leave the core ALONE!!!
I think to make this happen lakers have to sell the farm
Jerimie Daniels don't know how healthy kawhi is, can he play a full season? That's what a smart GM takes in consideration
Who gonna trade away all of their youth like that wait another year
Trade #2 minus trading Zo and Hart, if they can't see the value in Kuz and the potential to replenish their team with #1 picks, fukk it, get Kawhi next year....spurs want to apply pressure but they not in position for it
so what are they going to do about Isaiah Thomas?
The Spurs will then be a problem in the west with pop and a fresh batch of young players i wouldn't do it, how many games did kawhi play again this year?
they on the verge of making the same mistakes the knicks mad
i say dont trade for any of the Big names. Keep the young core that we have right now, PAY Randle the max, bring back Brooke Lopez, save money for another year, don't give up Ingram,Kuzma&Hart because there soo young and they proved capable on both sides of the floor and the Lakers don't have to WIN RIGHT AWAY! Look how the Warriors panned out for example they didn't rush to big names, they were just patient! If they make a trade (when they don't need to) Lakers are going to feel it REALLY BAD in the next 3-5 years.
Lakers sure nuff ain't trading G Lonzo Ball ain't happening
I don't think the Lakers need Paul George . Kuzma can be better than Paul George. he cost less money and they can keep randle as a 6th man and add better bench player . They can bring Reddick since he played in los Angeles before .
No
So the Lakers dream scenerio is 3 superstars, a bunch of scrubs and no bench? This team would still lose to the Warriors.
Why trade for any star players at this point...They are going to be fa agents soon...Keep the youngins and add stars. Our bench will be another starting lineup
Let’s take all Ther assets
Honest question.... Does Kobe Bean Bryant still have any gas in his tank # 6 man of the year and come back player also... LeBron, Kobe, Boogie,Vet minimum and Mid level exception and still got all the youngsters and julius.... Maybe we move Randal n 1st rounder more cap space # Atlanta # Charlotte # Miami # Orlando
Desperate teams do desperate things ..
I wish the Lakers could sucker someone into taking that Deng contract off of our hands.
How about adding an third team like Miami who need too dump bad salaries like Johnson waiter or whiteside
I bet ther good but Walton don’t kno how to use ther tallents
It's Ingram and RANDLE not Kuala he's our other three point SHOOTER we need
If the Lakers trade the young core I might as fucking well rip the Lakers jersey off my back and wear the Spurs Jersey god damn...KEEP THE CORE LAKERS.
I'm cool but keep kuzma
LAKERS DONT DO THIS DONT TRADE IM GONNA BE PISSED IF THEY DO
Why would the lakers need to pay so much when the Celtics won't even give up a Tatum or Brown??? And, no, lakers aren't the ones that need to step up and outbid for kawhi. SA needs to realize that they're not going to get anything close to what you're suggesting from Boston or the clippers. I'd rather the Lakers focus on George, and wait next year to sign kawhi when he's an ufa And if George doesn't workout, just wait till 2019. No way you give up everything for kawhi, when you don't have to.
I like the trade nr 3 In other trades Lakers give up too much for player tgat wants to come to them anyway.
If this is true magic should just walk away today! Why on earth would you trade away to young up and coming stars in this league for one star? Makes no sense!!
That's a lot for a guy who has lost his will to play the game!
The lakers seem desperate af,ima laugh when lebron stays in Cleveland for 1 more year than joins leonard in clippers uniform lol
Where is randle contract??
they on the verge of making the same mistake the knicks mad by gutting they team for carmelo anthony
who needs deng? that guy did not play in ages
