I disagree. PG is better than the #2 pick imo.....there's no guarantee that pick pans out. And PG could go somewhere and end up liking the city and end up re-signing.

PG comes and the cap goes up, maybe we unload Mov or Deng and get a free agent next summer......such as James if he decides to leave......or another FA.

He is probably better than the #2 pick. Not definitely.

But, he is also not the type of player who is going to single handedly elevate you to contender status. If he is your best player, you are a 3-6 seed at best.

Point is, the can't give up 2 because they need 2 and George to be relevant.

If Brook is healthy, he's a beast.

If he's not, he's off the books after the Season.

#Magic

Yep.

Good deal for the Lakers long term.

I'm thinking about a different trade now.....#2 and #27 for Irving.

He can be a strong #2.

He can't singlehandedly lead them back to glory.

But, he's young enough, and good enough, to get guys to join him.

I'm just not so sure how bad the lakers want to keep russell. Indiana doesn't need a point guard so. Maybe they don't want to hand keys over to ball right away. I say still don't cave to pacers they are the ones in the bind.
Well, that question was just answered...lol

Congrats!

I doubt the Lakers trade a young starter unless something bigger was coming.

They can now ship #27 and #28 to Indy plus a player

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


With what money?
Seems like another season of vet minimums followed by trade deadline buyouts.
