If they dont they will still have Love, that is a worst case scenario. They just need to get some of those bench warmers and get guys that can actually play IMO

There is no doubt PG will be a Laker soonz

I heard Randle and Russell for him. I prefer Clarkson over Russell but who is their PF then?

Nance. He's too good to be playing off the bench.....if we trade Randle.

I'd prefer to trade Russell, the 28th pick, and either Moz or Deng but I have a feeling Magic may offer the 2nd pick (insted of 28th) to motivate them to take the Moz or Deng contract. That would seriously incentivize them to take the bloated contract.

I'd be happy either way since PG is a proven stud and none of these draft picks are guaranteed to do shit in the NBA.

Randle and Russ don't make enough salary wise....more would have to be added.

I get the feeling that Griffin is out because Gilbert is unwilling to trade Love.

The Celtics' window looks like it could be opening sooner than we thought. Cleveland likely has 1 year left, tops.

Imagine if Boston got Porzingis? LOL.

You didn't like his cherry-picking defense?

The Kings defense is bad enough when they play 5 on 5

I actually hope I'm wrong regarding Magic offering the #2 pick....I just want a proven player that can lead these youngsters to the fringe of the playoffs and then getting another player next summer to take us to the next level.

Lakers Rumors: No. 2 Pick 'Could Be In Play' In Three-Team Trade Scenarios For Paul George - Lakers Nation

Hmmmmm. Read where Magic was leery of giving up too much.....but PG ion purple and gold would give us the superstar we've lacked since Kobe's corpse retired.

They aren't staying in Leave-Land? LOL

If I were honest, I'd prefer Irving over PG....

It's the Agent that is backing Magic into a corner.

Can't trade Randle or D Lo, #2 is all they can use.

Clarkson obviously is not gonna get it done.

As the rumors continue to circulate, it’ll be interesting to see if the Lakers can somehow acquire George while also keeping the pick and Ingram. It seems as though the rest of the roster is expendable, but George’s agent, Aaron Mintz, is reportedly lobbying for D’Angelo Russell and Julius Randle to be off the table in trade talks as they are both his clients as well.

PG, Irving, and James on the Lakers next summer?

If they give up number 2, they are making a huge mistake.

This is starting to look like the Knicks deal for Carmelo all over again. Lakers are bidding against themselves. Let Indiana trade George to Celeveland or Boston. Sure, there is a chance he resigns there. But, there is a better chance he doesn't.

Paul george + the current core does not make the Lakers relevant. They need George + Ball/Jackson + Ingram + cap space.

If this is the case, then the Lakers should not want Paul George. If Russell and Randle have to be on the team long term, then it isn't worth it. That nucleus just isn't strong enough and those guys are all getting paid relatively soon.
