POLL Should the Lakers explore trading LeBron?

[shopson67]

If they trade Lebron, AD needs to go...if you can't trade Russ just hold onto him until the trade deadline give one last effort to trade him, if not, he will leave in the offseason. Gets as much as you can (young players and picks) for AD and Lebron. Start from scratch, plus the Lakers have no problem getting FA's. A couple young players, picks and FA's will do the trick-or you just end up trading all those young players for a star. Never-ending circle jerk

Lakers have no problem getting FAs when they have a star in place. Without AD or Lebron, not so much. Nobody was coming before Lebron when they had the roster full of kids.

Lakers should 100% take that

No, he needs to sleep in the bed he made for himself. He doesn't have that long left at a high level, some team would mortgage their future just for a one-and-done shot at a titl-

Oh right, Brooklyn is on line 3

Kyrie and Simmons for Lebron and Westbrook?

 

[The Q]

Dray or Klay to make salaries work, Poole, and Kuminga for LeBron and a future 1st. Just 1, not 2.

Gives the W's Curry, Bron, and Klay/Dray for the next 2-3 seasons to try and get a title.

I think if you went Poole, wiseman kuminga and a 1

That’s interesting

I mean. It’s Lebron

Dubs would need to give up something

Lakers Have 'Standing' Trade Offer from Houston Rockets for Russell Westbrook

One offer that was on the table at the deadline, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, was sending Westbrook and a first-round pick to Houston in exchange for oft-injured guard John Wall.

That's been posted a bunch of times and no since Wall is a less talented RW.

Salaries don't match. That's why I included Dray/Klay.

I'm starting to think you may need to trade Jeanie.

The Lakers front office leaks like a sieve.

If any if what Platchke wrote is true, they are a complete DUMPSTER FIRE.

Wtf is she listening to Phil and the fucking Rambi?!?!

Can't really trust Plaschke. He's never been above exaggerating things. The problem is that the Lakers have always been something of a collaborative, but with social media and 24/7 reporting, it's more out in the open. Plus, it's the Lakers, so it get blown up.

The real issue, imo, isn't people like Phil and Magic having input...it's that there doesn't appear to be anyone that the buck stops with and that makes it look like there isn't actually anyone in charge. Which is how you end up with Klutch and the FO blaming each other for Westbrook.

Jeanie is supposed to have ''taken back her franchise'' but also prefers to focus on the business side. Which, from everything I've read and heard, is as strong as ever.

Imo, if she would step up and say Pelinka has final say on the basketball side...that would go a long way to quieting things down.

That's just not happening.

How much does Bron make?

44 million next season.

You really wouldn’t sell out to maximize this core’s window?

The salary filler would be Wiggins but it's still not happening

Just saw his salary and he's expiring.

Nope. And neither would they.

Not this year

You wouldn’t do Wiggins kuminga wiseman for bron?

Keeping Poole and the draft pick.... slightly less stupid. But all you get is one year of LeBron.

I think even with the pick you do it (although I’m not sure when gs can trade a pick due to the grizzlies owning that 2024 pick) so that might be moot anyway

Havjng brons bird rights though, I mean if he’s taking a trade he’s likely not planning on leaving

They can't afford him, and I really don't think he's wanted by the big 3 nor does he want to play there. So no, I like the Warriors Process better. They're already contenders.

Nope.

Wiggins, Poole, and Kuminga.
