Thats the key. What I was saying yesterday.

IF they do, there are plenty of paths to make max space happen alongside the AD deal.

My personal ranking of who I would hope the Lakers could get

1) Kemba
2) Jimmy
3) Kyrie
4) D-Lo
5) Kawhi

But right now none of them seem all that likely. D-lo might be the most likely if the Nets sign Kyrie and denounce his rights making him an UFA

Mine would be:

1) Kawhi
2a) Kemba
2b) Kyrie
4) D-Lo
5) Butler

Obviously, Kawhi would make them the favorite EASILY, but very unlikely. Then I think they need a PG most importantly. Butler is a great player and defender but they need a shooter/PG imo first. I think Kyrie or Kemba would be a nice fit and a little cheaper option D-Lo would also be a nice fit. Butler would be nice wing but I think it would be easier to find a SG in FA than a nice PG option.

No doubt Kawhi would be the best option. Just, personally, I worry that it might take a little of the fun out of any success that they get.

Yeah, good point on Butler though. A PG would be a much more natural fit

Kawhi's an asshole because he's ruled out Boston.

Don't pat yourself too hard on the back. You might dislocate your shoulder.

#braggart :heh:
How is that bragging? Wasn't me doing the trades or hitting the jumpers....

Talking about having a superteam & how it's superfun. Stop that, I'm gonna puke. With all due respect you real Warriors fans make me sick.

So how's your day so far? Mine seems to be dragging a little bit.

msgkings days of bragging are over. I wonder if the dubs even make the playoffs. It would be a big hit to Curry's legacy if they didn't.

Well, the titles might be done for a bit but the dynasty will always be there to remember
Sorry none of the 5 teams you like haven't had one.

don't blame ya, brother. while I hoped for more, I'm OK with just 1. Holding onto AT&T a little longer as I still occasionally watch game 7 on the DVR, along with postgame talk on ESPN.

haha....I would think they make it, but need to do something in the offseason (or keep Durant/Klay and get them back sooner rather than later).

I'm a Lebron fan not really a Lakers fan. Clippers will be there one day.

I watched highlights of basically the entire 2018 Cavs playoffs. Probably one of the greatest postseason performances by Lebron, so many 40 point games and then that 51 point game vs the superteam. He will be back stronger than ever this year, too bad it will be for the Lakers now lol

It's way too early to even think about next season. Let the FA period pass first. See what all the teams do. It's a complete guessing game right now until we know what the revamped teams look like.

I'm happy with a super duo.

It's worked fine for the Lakers in the past

Yeah it could work out but getting nice pieces like Pat Bev, some shooters and another post player will help a lot. Interesting to see how they fill out the rest of this roster THIS TIME.

I would put money on it they get a one of these guys, whether it is Butler, Kemba, Kyrie or DLo.
