I wouldn't have minded acquiring Mudiay. I'm not a big fan but I'd give him a chance. Can't be worse than what we're running out at pg
No thanks. He's the Nerlens Noel of point guards. He has a bit of a good rep from his draft position, and he has great physical measurements. But he can't play basketball, and he has played fewer and fewer minutes each season in the NBA. The Knicks are welcome to him.
Speaking of Noel, whatever happened to that guy?
Injured his hand in late Nov, but was barely playing for the Mavs before that.

That is exactly what Sarver is thinking right now, and he just might make James Jones GM this summer to bring in the King. Maybe even hire a James-friendly coach to sweeten the deal.

That would be a huge mistake. James Jones has no experience. Also can you imagine the smoking wreck Lebron would make of this team if his buddy was the GM and he could do whatever he wanted. He would trade away all our young guys and future picks for so so players that wouldn't be good enough to beat the Warriors then bail on us leaving us with another 10 years of garbage.

I'm actually kinda excited that the Lakers have so much cap room this summer. I have a good feeling Magic is going to end up over paying some middle of the road guys.

Then have to spend their picks again to unload said contracts. NYK west coast. Magic- Isiah Thomas.

I thought Lebron wanted to win. I don't think Lebron and George get the Lakers past the Warriors.

Ball-George-Ingram-Kuzma-Lebron is actually a fascinating lineup that could matchup well with the warriors death lineup Curry-klay-Iggy-durant-Dray.

LeBron turning into a small ball 5 with athletes and shooters is kinda scary. I don't know that they beat the warriors, but they'd be very interesting.

Going to need some big men though. But they shouldn't have a problem snagging vet bigs who want to ride coattails to a championship and live in LA

Man it can't hurt unless you get stupid and give him a bad contract. Maybe he can make a good backup if he remains with the team next year. Because I assume we are not trading for him with plans to make him the long term starter (or else...).
I know. But that hair is unwatchable.

I don't see Lebron signing up for that. He prefers having a traditional lineup. Making him play center wouldn't entice him to go to the Lakers, imo.

I don't know if Lebron even cares about joining an instant contender. There's a lot of reasons it might be nice for him to go to LA. Great entertainment, nightlife, things to do. Great weather. Lots of opportunities for business, acting, music, entertainment, all his various entrepreneurial desires. They'll have lots of fun. Probably won't win a title right away, but they're on the way up and will get better every year. Better owner, GM, staff, overall org. There's lots of reasons it might be nice to be in LA.

Pretty sure he alreaydy owns a house in LA. Lets be honest here though, none of that stuff is really doable during the NBA season, and he can spend his off-season there anyway, I don't think its a selling point anymore.
