I spent a lot of time away watching from afar. I just don’t understand many of the moves made. A genius move would have been to trade Lauri after that first year here. Yes, he looked amazing, but we had zero team around him. We might have gotten another small fortune for him like we did Rudy and...

I would consider it. I don’t think overpaying Kessler is the answer, and I like Indiana’s draft picks a lot more than the Lakers. They might struggle without Haliburton while also switching Turner with Kessler. Could we get unprotected 2026 1st and another down the road?

What is a reasonable amount to pay Kessler? I was thinking $20ish per year for the longest term possible.

Incredible draft. We are notorious for drafting guys who do a particular thing. A PG who does this or a big man who does that. Ace has a physical profile and potential to be the best wing scorer we have had since Griffith. Clayton was a dominant force for the best team from the best...

2 Things #1 - congrats on the baby. Being a parent is a blessing. All the best of health to everyone. #2 - excellent post!

I’m shocked that Collin’s doesn’t have substantial value to the Lakers especially as an expiring. They are desperate for size. I know Collins doesn’t play that big, but he seems like a good option rotating with LeBron, Vanderbilt, etc. You’re gonna tell me that the Lakers wouldn’t be over the...

I just don’t see the need to trade Lauri. If Ace, WCJ, Kessler and others turn into the guys you hope they can be, you’re still going to need a floor space with a little size.

I’m assuming we get a draft pick too but hell I don’t know… I think Knecht could become something

Does Collins for Vincent, Knecht and Shake Milton work now that Finney-Smith is no longer a Lakers cap hold?

According to some, that was when the best basketball of all time was ever played….

Oh, I don’t like it. Just trying to read the tea leaves of others

Collins and Kessler for Kebler, Vincent, Knecht and a boatload of future picks?

I guess I just see this differently. Sure, I hate attaching a pick to make this trade, but the evidence is out there - bigs are in demand. Look at the draft - so many bigs being taken. Now I don’t see Nurkic as a beast, but he is a solid NBA big. Teams need these. I think he gets traded before...

I’m a Bama guy and I like Sexton. But…. We need a Nurkic so much more than a Sexton right now. We have so many small combo guards. I’ve never been a Nurkic fan, but the guy almost averaged a double double last year in less than 21 minutes a night. And if we do struggle this year, Nurkic might...

I don’t understand this unless we are putting some bigger trade together to the Lakers who need a big man.

I’m curious if the Lonzo Ball trade possibly makes Garland available. Could Cleveland trade Garland and keep Jerome? Finney-Smith opting out in LA is an interesting development. Losing him for nothing would really hurt LA.

That’s good. IF the Lakers like Sexton, I wonder if a bigger deal could be pulled off with Boston, the Lakers and our Jazz. Something around… Lakers gets Sexton Boston gets Vincent, Knecht, and massive savings Utah gets Simons and draft assets from both the Lakers and Celtics

Sexton to the Lakers makes a ton of sense.

I’ve scoured the contracts and situations, but I just don’t see an obvious trading partner. Phoenix would probably love to part with Beal, but they wouldn’t need more backcourt players like Sexton and Clarkson with their recent trades. I don’t think Milwaukee can dump Lillard for his...
