Acquiring Rubio will only expedite tank cause it'll free up more minutes for the young guys. I say do it, but no way that package gets it done.
Nick Young to Houston makes sense.
He played well under MDA, lots of LA guys on that team and Corey Brewer has been terrible.
Lol...wait til the game starts tonight and you'll seeWho are your barbershop sources with insight on the Buss family?
Lol...wait til the game starts tonight and you'll see
For the first time this season, BOTH Jeannie and Jim Buss will be attending the road trip with the team. This strongly suggests certain players on the roster are up for serious evaluation and are on the trade block.
Hmmm........
Lakers don't ever want to give the impression they're in tank mode. At the end of the day, it's still all about making moves to improve the roster in order to build a playoff contender SOONER rather than later.
My money says Jeannie and Jim aren't about tanking and aren't about stockpiling assets and HOPING these young assets turn out to be superstars. Some of these assets will be dealt.
We are NOT the Golden State Warriors.
Julius ain't Draymond and won't ever be.
Jordan will NEVER be Klay
And DLo sure as hell won't ever be nothing close to Steph.
The best we can hope for is for Ingram to turn into a poor man's KD.
Lakers showing all the signs we are going to pull off a trade. And I doubt it's a trade where we simply dump two of our best scorers (Young, Lou) for nothing just so we acquire scrubs and improve our tank position.
If true, this actually could be significant.

Oh best believe, Kupchak, Jim, and Jeannie are all on this trip.If true, this actually could be significant.
unlikely, hoping for a pau/kwame deal netting us something good. ....sighSay the Lakers make a deal like this
Lakers get an established PG like Rubio who can play with Russell and really help Russell do what he's good at, or at least should be good at, spot up shooting, posting up, and moving without the ball.
You give up Williams, who I love but is somewhat redundant with Clarkson, Williams goes over to the Wolves and helps a team trying to win now.
Muhammed is a good player, 1 year left so we can free up the money, and Tarik is great but maybe its time to put Zubac in that role and let him learn.
Would you guys rather do this or go all out on the Tank?
My thinking is you know what you get with Rubio, good defender, great passer, and a team first guy, with the draft you might get a stud, but you never know either, and we don't even know if we get the pick.
Slow day at work...trade machine has been my friend today.
whats been the longest stretch of mediocrity to trash that this team has gone through so far? Are we in it? The Great Depression?
Were the 90s still worse til we got kobe and shaq?
