You can still keep one of BI/Zo now.
It works for sure with Zo, #4 and all the other guys. Cutting it close with BI tho.

I was referring to becoming more of a spot up shooter. What Bron has turn star players into (or at least accused of) Which Love and Bosh excelled in.
Can AD just be a spot up shooter if needed. Maybe I’m still think Bron is gonna be the number 1 option

From what I remember you can make the salaries match without giving up BI. Zo has a higher cap hit than BI does.
But it depends. Like if you sign Kyrie, you’d rather trade Zo over BI but if you sign Leonard or Butler, you’d rather trade Ingram.

I think if he hasn’t THAT type of talent he’d be perfectly fine being more Magic lol
Even on the Heat Wade wasn’t Able to be no. 1 all the time
And he’s never had a big like AD
Maybe they should go thru AD?
AD 25 shots
Kyrie 22
Bron can get like 18-20 lmao
I just said kyrie first cuz I already know he gonna be 22-26

I do not want AD spotting up a lot at all lol
I think he’s the best post presence Bron would have played with

I got a feeling BI is gone either way. And I dont mind playing Zo next to Kyrie.
As long as we get a max guy, keep one young guy and get AD I'm good.

Griff was in love with BI and essentially said Pels were dumb as hell for not taking that package.

If we keep Zo and Kuz somehow
I’ll help BI pack and drive him to the airport.

We come up 0.2 mil short if it’s only BI traded.

Not going to happen. If they do decide to deal with us at minimum it's still going to take 2 of 3 (BI/Zo/Kuz) + #4 + another 1st. The pick has allowed us to likely keep one of the kids though looking at the other potential packages.
I'm hoping it's BI 1st and Zo 2nd, Kuz can bounce honestly.

They could ask whoever they're signing to take a slight haircut and we could trade for a small contract. Or flipping Bonga for someone that makes a little more. They could figure it out.
The ideal situation is the max guy opting into his final year then signing a max deal next yr. Too much risk for that tho.

I'm way more interested if they miss out on all the star free agents, what's next?

Getting AD Is for the future too..... not just 2-3 more years with LeBron
The Lakers are not hung up on how is he going to work next to LeBron thats shortsighted. Lebron will take a step back he’s almost 35 ffs

Hopefully not give out any Deng/Mosgov type panic contracts. You can't really afford to do anything other than maybe try and trade for Beal. Cause you'll compromise the space for the summer of 2020 if AD gets moved elsewhere.

It's crazy to see the NBA finals are 1 day away and every single sports is STILL talking about the Lakers. 
I been skipping over the talk but I had to see this SAS going off on these people tryna throw dirt on the goats name.

So if we do absolutely nothing? No possible way we can't get a Kemba level star or make some kind of trade.

I’ll wait til 2020 for Unibrow then. Idk if we’ll still have a max slot due to Ingram’s extension though.
2020 could be Zo/BI/Lebron/Unibrow w/ Garland, Kuz & Hart
I bet they’ll trade for Beal if all else fails.
