similar deal for George would be 2018 + 2020 picks, a 2019 pick swap and then one of Diallo or 2022 1sts.


That is WAY too much. Paul's agent tanked his trade value. He wants to go to LA. You are buying a one year rental. He is not going to fetch much at all because it is basically contenders bidding for a rental. LA already said they aren't going to give up real assets to get him this year.

Personally I don't know if I really want George in AD's ear for a year talking about LA even if it gets us into 2nd round.

I agree except can the Lakers afford to let George try out another team? It just seems anyone going after him they see as a threat would pull the Lakers into a bidding war.

You honestly think the prospect of forging a team centered around George, AD, and Cousins isn't at least a little swaying? I mean, he goes to LA, sure he's on the big stage, but he's on the big rebuild with the next best player being Brandon Ingram, D'Angelo Russell, and whoever they draft.

They'll be dangerous in like two or three seasons. But he stays here, could be dangerous right now.


I mean, yeah. We probably won't trade for him at all because we kinda can't, without unloading a ton of picks, but the notion has merit I think.

you really think he'd still want to go play for the Lavarball Lakers after playing a season with Jrue, Anthony and DeMarcus? find that one very hard to believe, that organization will remain a dumpster fire for a few more seasons at least, with or without him
