For the Lakers, What is Next After Kobe?

Trade jordan clarkson for some reason he always gets upset with his playing time, I'll use a draft pick to package along with Larry nance to pacers for Paul George then sign DeMar DeRozan, Festus ezeli and bismack Biyombo

I TOTALLY agree and actually they were my main targets during the offseason.
Unfortunately in MyLeague both Barnes and Batum resigned with GSW/CHA while LBJ didn't (after losing in the Finals against GSW once again).


I hope that will work out differently IRL

Btw I would take your CPU generated headcoach over Byron Scott aswell.

It was a no brainer.

Too bad that Luke was not available among the assistants HC

Do you guys see russell being traded after the whole nick young tape thing?

What would be a realistic trade for him? He obviously has lots of potential and could start fresh anywhere.

Russell ain't going nowhere. Dude has sweet stroke and great vision all while improving continually throughout the season without hitting the famous rookie wall post all-star.

I think Nick Young would be traded before Russell. Russell's rep is going to follow him anywhere, so you're probably not going to be able to max out your return at this point. I'd much rather just deal Young, get a piece back in return and hope Russell learns from his mistakes and his teammates forget it happened.

If LA lands a top 3 pick. say the get BEn Simmons or that kid from Duke, Ingram.
IF OKC doesnt get to the finals Durant will wind up In LA.
LA will bring in Horford,- then ship him, Julius Randal, and either Russell or Clarkson to Sacramento for Cousins.

now you potentially have a big 3 though they'd be a few years from contending.

-Durant
-Simmons or Ingram
-Cousins
-and either Clarkson or Russell

and of course theyll attract a few more mid level type free agents.

then the following year you could potentially get Westbrook in LA, and that free agent crop has a lot of marquee type players also.
