This. He's a beast when healthy but a poor rebounder.

I'm hoping Zubac and Nance can help with that.

Mecca, weren't there many times o FN when we mentioned Lopez to the Lakers?

Finally happened.

ugh, not sure about this...

assures we get a PG with that pick, though...

I had to read that a few times.
Thought there might be a few Paul Georges out there...

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to trade D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez and the 27th overall pick.

Lopez has one season remaining on his deal at $22.6 million.

Mozgov signed a four-year, $64 million deal with the Lakers last offseason that almost immediately became a clear mistake. This move unburdens the Lakers of that deal to create cap space for 2018 when they will pursue both LeBron James and Paul George.

Russell was the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft but his future with the team appeared uncertain with the Lakers expected to take Lonzo Ball in the draft.

Yeah....I hope we deal Randle.....I want Nance to start and Black can backup PF and Zublacka the C position.

 

[Heatles84]

I admire the effort.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

The Lakers now have the #2 pick, and the 27th and 28th in the first round, Mozgov is gone with Russell in return for Lopez who is an expiring contract. I am happy

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Yeah....I hope we deal Randle.....I want Nance to start and Black can backup PF and Zublacka the C position.

I like Randle, and hope we can keep him and Ingram. Now that Mozgov is gone, the Lakers have $$$$ to go after Lebron and Paul George next season

 

[DJ Fieri]

I admire the effort.

Holy shit

34 yr old Lebron.

If James ever ends up on the Lakers, the core of this board will have went full circle.

The more I try to picture Lebron in a Laker jersey, the more unimaginable it seems. I can't speak for what Wiggy would do, but CL is gonna rep the Lakers no matter what....and he's gonna hate Lebron no matter what. Also Between Lebron fans, Kobe fans, and Laker fans, somebody's head is gonna explode if this process plays out.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Butler and PG? I 2nd that, you gotta admire the effort.

 

[Kold]

Holy shit

WAIT WHAT?

This sounds about right. My balls already exploded and I had to change my boxers.

WAIT WHAT?

Read it!!!! Butler for the 2nd pick and then we trade the 27 and 28th pick plus Clarky for PG!!!!

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Holy shit

Screws us in the point guard position though, giving up (depending if they'd draft Ball), three pg's

 

[DJ Fieri]

I admire the effort.

I hope this happens....Magic is trying his best.....

In Walton's offense, a true PG isn't needed. PG and Butler can facilitate.....I'd like to see us add a solid backup PG. Unless, we can somehow finagle CP into the mix.

If that were the case i'd rather lose Randle than Clarkson

 

[Kold]

I will say this about Lebron, if he'd just adapt his game to a post based style like Jordan and Kobe did, it would go a long way to helping him preserve his energy
