Raves Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 6 hours ago, YoungJefe said: You'd likely only be giving up Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and a draft pick. That really isn't much for a proven 20+ ppg scorer in his prime that can shoot, distribute, and create his own offense. You guys are over valuing Sexton, he definitely has potential but he's far from a sure thing. You're basically giving up one guy with potential, a role player, and a late first round pick for a guy that's going to immediately be your second option and make your offense significantly better. Except for the fact that even if LeBron did decide to opt-in trading all that just to watch Walker and LeBron potentially leave the following year isn't worth it. Better to keep Sexton and other assets for when LeBron does leave than trade them away and still not win a title. Also we were fine offensively, it was defensively that we got destroyed, something that Walker won't help with but Sexton might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the tools to be a good/great defender but he wasn't in college. He wasn't bad but his reputation comes more from his competitiveness than what he did on the court.

DirtyDez Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 IMO Sexton is years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Three team trade: Suns give: Bender, Bucks 1st, Suns get: Lonzo, Deng contract Lakers give: Lonzo, Deng, Ingram, future LA 1st Lakers get: Kawhi Spurs give: Kawhi Spurs get: Ingram, Bender, Bucks 1st, LA 1st I'm pretty sure it works out financially. Lakers can go after PG (or CP3) and Bron to go with Kawhi and Kuzma. Idk if that is enough for the Spurs tho. Maybe we give them Warren instead of Bender, not sure I would do that tho if I were the Suns. edit: actually the Suns keep Bender and the Lakers give the Spurs Hart too. They are getting Kawhi out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Lakers needs two of Ball/Ingram/Kuzma me thinks. But BBB with Booker/Ayton/Jackson? Let's go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Something involving the suns is suppose to go down today. Probably then lakers getting off of deng by attaching ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 RE Kawhi: Think Lakers need to send a big package to the Spurs if they want to get a trade done this offseason. Ingram, Kuzma +++. Seems the Spurs don't want to send him to their direct contender, as the Lakers would be. And I believe there will definitely be another team willing to roll the dice that they could convince Kawhi to stay. Even more so if PG stays in Oklahoma, when he was originally thought 99% chance of being a rental. If you're a crappy team that's been rolling in the mud for a while, you take a risk if you could acquire a guy on his level. Several teams could offer decent packages without gutting the team too. Philly and Phoenix come to mind. Very few teams play the long game, as the Lakers would be doing if they insist on waiting for Kawhi to hit FA. It's just too risky, too much can happen in a year.

And the Lakers can stretch Deng so what's the point if they have to take on cap in the trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Lakers apparently offered Ingram and a 1st for Kawhi. No wonder Spurs are stalling. They can do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they? I'm not sure they can. Reportedly, Boston won't deal Tatum/Brown without an assurance from Kawhi, and he's not willing to give that. They're also reluctant to give up the Kings' FRP as well, so what's their offer? The Grizz and Clippers' FRP and salary fillers (i.e. Marcus Morris, Terry Rozier, etc.). That's a pretty poor package. If Boston isn't willing to deal Jaylen Brown, what makes you think they'd deal Fultz? So if they're not dealing Fultz, it's a combination of Saric, Zhaire Smith and filler along with future picks for him. A better package than Boston, but probably not better than the Lakers. Having a hard time finding that mystery team to come out and make that big package for Kawhi. I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrawkcab321 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The thought of the lakers having a godfather type offer is laughable. Ball and Ingram have a lot of work to do on their shots. Kuz is good but he’s not an all star type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
