Would You Trade Ingram & Kuzma For Leonard?

[flyerhawk]

Why not? Because it would piss you off?

Because those 3 players alone would exceed the salary cap?

Unless of course they all take huge discounts for the privilege to play in LA. Anything is possible I guess.

They can sign two now and Leonard next year.

You do realise it's very possible, right? As much as that would anger you

 

[tlance]

Is it impossible for them to get PG, Lebron and Leonard in the space of 2 years?

Impossible?

Theoretically No. if they all decided to take substantially less than their market value.

Extremely unrealistic given the confines of the cap though. The Lakers don't quite have the cap space for 2 max players without some more finagling, yet you are talking about adding 3 who will all command max money.

Have fun in your fantasy land if you want to think this could happen. The rest of us will carry on with actual basketball conversation.

It is kinda amusing how some Laker fans think that the privilege of playing for the Lakers is all that is needed to draw all the top talent to LA.

exactly--- like the last 5 years and the vast amount of FA strikeouts havent happened.

Unless I am mistaken the last big name free agent the Lakers signed was Shaq in 1996---- not saying it wont happen- but the last 5 years have proven that winning matters much more to guys than whatever mystique the Lakers used to exude.

lol....that whole math thing is sometimes not easy to explain to people.

Whatever. No point arguing with a fangirl that is completely immune to logic and reality.

I'm sure that they will be able to sign 3 max players in the next 2 years. And Ingram will be the next Kobe and Kuzma will be the next Malone. And the Lakers will win 100 games next season.

Actually, you don't WANT it to happen and you're getting pissy about it again.

Plus, they DO actually have cap space for 2 max

dont forget--- Lonzo Ball will grow a third arm out of his ass and make passes never seen before that make prime Magic, LeBron and Nash look like Ante Zizic.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

but the last 5 years have proven that winning matters much more to guys than whatever mystique the Lakers used to exude.

So how come the cavs haven't been able to get anyone?

lets just do a simple little exercise

How much cap space do the Lakers currently have?

How much does it take to sign a guy to a max contract?

 

[WiggyRuss]

in the last 5 years? i dunno...the Cavs did sign this guy named LeBron. I mean hes not terrible. Hes no Kentavius Caldwell Pope but i think he has potential to do some things.

I don't have anything against the Lakers. Nothing at all.

I do not like posters who spew homeristic garbage with zero logic or factual understanding, however.

LA is certainly a draw. So is New York. And yet all 4 teams failed to make the playoffs this year.

That won't stop their fanboys and girls from believing that superstars are going to run to LA or NY simply because they are LA or NY.

That would be a lot more likely than the Lakers getting LeBron, PG13 and Leonard without giving up any of their young guys.

Wait, so it possible now?

Keep backtracking, tlance, it's what you're good at.

He was always going to go back. Nice try though

I'm saying it's possible, you're saying it's not.

lol...did you read those comments?

he just said it was more likely a human being grows a third arm out of his ass and uses that arm to make NBA passes that would make Magic, LeBron and Nash jealous.

Somehow you took "its possible" out of that statement.

You sound like Lloyd Christmas- "so your tellin me theres a chance!". lol.

 

[Gman]

It's within the realm of theoretical physics, guys!!

Who is backtracking? I said from post one it was possible in Shaqdaddy fantasy world.

Keeping trolling and posting delusional BS. It is the only thing you are good at.
