I strongly disagree.

The first thing Papa Ball would do is sign LiAngelo and LaMelo. Add those 2 to Lonzo and the Lakers wouldn't need Lebron or Kawhi.:nod:

I couldn't agree more. I take back what I said.

LiAngelo > Giannis
LaMelo > LeBron

:noidea:

If Toronto makes it to at least the ECF (which I think they will), I don't see him leaving Toronto.

Having said that, from what I've heard out here, Jeanie wants Kawhi over every other potential player they could sign or trade for, including AD.

On the other hand, I can't imagine Kawhi is terribly impressed with what he's seen this week re: the Lakers.

Then again, add Kawhi to Lebron, sign a couple of solid vet role players and you have a contender no matter who the coach and president are.

End of the day though, it's Kawhi who doesn't say shit...so who the hell knows what he's thinking?

lol
there is a better chance hte Cavs get Zion (14%) then the Lakers get Kawhi.

I may be wrong, but I dont see much of a chance in hell that Kawhi, Klay, Durant, or Kyrie - any one of those 4, sign with the Lakers.

I think Kemba stays in Charlotte.

We know David Griffin is not going to make a dumb trade for Davis. No one is getting a Dell Demps deal.

I think the best player that the Lakers will have a legit shot at in free agency is the right to pay Jimmy Butler 4 years 140M going into his age 30 season.

The only thing I disagree w/ is w/ LeBron & Kawhi they would be a contender no matter who the HC & prez-o-dent are. If the Lakers would hire Papa Ball as coach & Kanye as prez they be screwed.

Well duh, Lavar needs to be president and Kanye needs to coach. What are ya, ignorant?

See I disagree. Kanye understands that prez-o-dent shit better than Papa Ball. He's already running in 2020.

I think Papa Ball would be a great sideline general. Nobody can motivate people like Lavar. But Kanye gots the smarts. Leave that bizniss stuff to Yeezy.

i just gotta laugh

magic a few months ago "we arent going to do things like Cleveland"....

well, you succeeded in that Magic!! lol.....

Its just so funny- I was assured- LeBron will not be calling the shots, LeBron will be playing off the ball....LeBron will listen to Magic and Luke.

What actually happened? What everyone who was not a Lakers fan KNEW would happen- LeBron took control of teh franchise and did whatever he wanted to do.
And that Lebron plays best with shooters around him.

Joel Embiid is annoying as hell. Seriously bro your team has won one playoff series in your career and you can not decide if you can muster enough to play? Just don't bother with any of the tough talk because you're a bitch.

The hype is that Lebron will listen to him.

It's hard to know if he's actually a good coach or not. But at the end of the day, you have to have a coach that your best player will listen to.
Players have said Lue was not afraid to call out Lebron.

Weird that they are doing this without interviewing other coaches, Vlade must love Walton.
