You know how I know 95% of this thread sum immature no career havin *** ******? Cause y’all condone this banter between Zo and kuz

Talmbout how you at work tellin yo coworkers yo finna flip they moms in the whip.. smh

There’s a level of professionalism that’s expected when you represent a billion dollar franchise. Or any company for that matter

Even y’all with yo minimum wage *** jobs got that expectation. Bet you ainn sayin that type of stuff to or in front of the ceo. Imagine if your comments somehow became public? Bet you’d be in the unemployment line the very next day

Why is this any different? These players gotta keep they mouth shut and be about they business.

Y’all simply sayin it’s jokes is clueless. This ain’t even funny. nobodys laughin. Dudes need to shut up and play

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Pretty sure Kuz straight up said he's not making a track in response. That was just cowherd being out of touch and talking out his ***

Lavar is really going to mess around and get Lonzo traded.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Lonzo is traded on draft night ordering the first day of free agency. .

 

[flyerthandelta]

I hate this time of the year these rumors get ridiculous by the min smh

 

[Lizakers]

Really though, after all this Lavar crap for a year now, what team wants to have to deal with it? It’ll be hard to find a trade partner

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Lavar talking ish about PG13s knee when his son cant even shoot 50% from the free throw line
Trade that ***** cant be risking our laker legacy

 

[captaintuxable]

What are the chances we strike out though? If Lebron isn't going to come alone and Paul George sticks with OKC and CP3 gets his money in Houston then what are we going to do?

P.S. I'd actually be okay with this.

ticket sales tho.

 

[oh you mad]

Do it Rob.

Destination: Los Angeles Lakers
Lakers get: Kawhi Leonard

Spurs get: Lonzo Ball, Luol Deng, Kyle Kuzma

Magic get: Joffrey Lauvergne, 2020 Lakers second-round pick, $1.7 million cash (from Lakers)

Kevin Pelton: While the Lakers can't offer San Antonio the kind of future picks that other teams can in a Leonard trade, they could offer promising young talent. This deal would work with either Ball or Brandon Ingram, the most recent two No. 2 overall picks, depending on how the Spurs value the two prospects.

2018 NBA draft[/paste:font]

Get ready for Deandre Ayton, Luka Doncic, Trae Young and more top prospects.

• Full NBA mock draft
• Scouting the likely lottery picks
• Top 100 rankings
• Watch: Scouting videos
• Rookie fantasy expectations
• Draft assets for every team

Despite the focus on his poor shooting (42 percent on 2s, 30.5 percent on 3s), Ball rated well by advanced metrics as a rookie because of his versatile contributions. His elite court vision translated into a high assist rate and Ball was an outstanding rebounder for a point guard. He was also an active team defender who rated third among point guards in the defensive component of ESPN's real plus-minus.

Spurs guard Dejounte Murray was one of the two point guards to rate better defensively than Ball, and a Murray-Ball backcourt would have the potential to be one of the NBA's best on defense. An All-Rookie first team pick, Kuzma averaged 18.6 points per 36 minutes as a rookie, proving a dangerous 3-point shooter with the ability to create off the dribble.

As the price for getting both Ball and Kuzma, San Antonio would have to take on the final two seasons of Deng's contract, which would cut into the team's 2019 cap space. It's possible, however, that the Spurs could rehabilitate Deng into a rotation player and salvage some value from his deal.

ADVERTISEMENT
To make the trade work with Ball, the two teams would have to find a third partner to take on Lauvergne's salary (under the assumption he picks up his 2018-19 player option). The Magic are an ideal candidate because they currently have enough cap space to take on Lauvergne's contract but are unlikely to use cap space once the league year turns over after the July moratorium. So the only cost of adding Lauvergne would be his actual salary, which the Lakers would cover with cash.
