Clarkson, Randle, and both late 1st rounders is what is about to go down.
Sounds about right.

If they are going to take a shit deal, it doesn't have to be from the Lakers.

They've already tried to backdoor you with the Warriors.

What happens if the Spurs decide to send them Aldridge, who they are clearly shopping?

imo they don't need to give up that much...

What's to stop Portland from offering #20, #26, Mo Harkless, and Festus Ezeli (salary match) for Paul George? Sure, he probably won't sign there but what does that matter? Outside of Harkless, they aren't giving much up. The percentage chance they convince George to stay probably exceeds the chance that #20, #26, or Harkless becomes a star. If I were Indiana, I'd take that over the Lakers picks and only one of Randle/Clarkson.

Yea they do, I'm surprised it's not more, that's a steal.

They need to move Clarkson

well, quite honestly i'm in the "wait a year" camp anyhow. no pressure on us...

'sides, Clarkson's been good off the bench, so he NEEDS to be moved why...?

Fact is, Portland isn't offering that.

The best offer so far has come out of LA

I'd rather have the 32nd and 33rd pick than those two late Lakers pick.

Half the salary, same player.

Clear up cap so you can have 2 max contracts


Stop thinking "Rebuild"

and think "superteam"


LeBron's wife wants to move to LA, they already have property there and he wants to play for Magic and with George.


You're going about this all wrong.

Fact of the matter is, not a single team is willing to have PG13 as a rental.

Well, that's definitely a better offer than Clarkson, #27, and #28 and probably a better offer than Randle, #27, and #28.

Certainly. But Indiana is going to shop around before they pull the trigger on any Lakers offer. And if the Lakers try to reduce the offer too much, another team will eventually outbid them.
