Personally - I would love to hold my cards and play them. A little patience quite possibly sets the Lakers up long term. I am okay with a LeBron James of Paul George who are short term fixes only, but I would rather keep the majority of the young team. Honestly I liked the D'angelo Russell & Mozgov for Lopez because of the expiring contract and the one year rental on Lopez who is really a good player. I like having a 7 foot center who can play ball and be the last line of defense. That could work out really nice.George and Porzingas make more sense because they are both still young. But Porzingas, looks as though he may have injury issues. He played in, I believe 72 and 66 games in his 2 seasons. That seems like a lot of games missed for a guy who is only 2 years in.
Maybe he'll be similar to Kyrie and Steph Curry who both appear to have put early injury issues behind them? But, he could also be Andrew Bynum whose injury issues just got worse and forced him out of the league.
I'm not sure the Lakers are in a position to take that chance.
