the 1st round draft pick is from SAC and is like top 20 protected. the 2nd rounders are what CLE is gonna regret, the draft is pretty deep this year.
Deng is bouncing in a few months once the season is over, someone is gonna overpay for him.
draft picks are extremely viable, you just have to know who to draft and hope they develop ( ie: OKC- durant, westbrook, harden, ibaka...that Swift kid was a major bust though ( seattle days)

Im glad Pau is sticking around though. i know he's having his struggles this year but he can bounce back, he can still be as productive as Duncan.
after all that "#stayDH" crap and the backlash the organization got for "begging" a player to stay i dont think trading Pau for salary cap reasons wouldve resonated well with the loyal laker fan base. this is my team, and having them basically tank wouldve been heartbreaking.
i know the team isnt a contender, but i truly felt with an 80% kobe we couldve gotten an 8th seed.

8th seed for what? Only to get swept in the 1st round?

Not sure why people are still suggesting ways to make this team better 
You don't have to be openly team tank, but you gotta realize there is no fixing this team.

They still don't. Only have $14mil in cap space after Amnestying Boozer. Would have to unload Taj for nothing.
Just embrace it.

Alex Kennedy: I expect the L.A. Lakers to pursue Luol Deng when he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's a realistic option for them. Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA
Deng’s representatives met with Bulls management last offseason to discuss their concerns over these issues. That set an ominous tone for general talk on a contract extension for Deng, which produced such a gulf that no counteroffers were exchanged. Deng’s camp saw Josh Smith sign for $14 million annually with the Pistons last summer and figured Deng’s value as higher -
Deng being gassed up, he is def not worth more than josh smith.i really hope they dont offer him more than 10/11 mil per season. Deng declined extension offers of 3/30 and 4/40 from the bulls...
say deng demands 15 mil in free agency, id much rather have melo at 17-18 mil per season

If the Lakers want to reserve some space for a max free agent in 2015-16, they really only have somewhere between $15-20 mil to spend on everything else between now and then. I really don't want them to blow any significant chunk of it on Luol Deng.

I actually like Shawne.. He's not great, but he's a good guy to have toward the end of your bench if someone goes down.
Should have been Kelly, but youth always wins these things.

I pray it's not to open up a roster spot for Hedo Turkoglu.

I think it was to get out of the guaranteed part of the salary.
If it were for Hedo that makes so little in terms of sense.

I mention it because
To even express the slightest interest in Hedo Tukoglu makes little sense, so it has me worried a little.
