2 year plan, PG this year then Khawai next. Keep all of our assets
fukk Bron, we ain't trying to lose in the WCF the next two years
Assuming LeBron will only come if they get a 3rd star, get LAL a 3rd star

So as a non biased GM you'd give a 34 yo Bron a max?. For how long ?

It was written in the Bible
He’d really be chasing the ghost of Kobe/5 rings and LWO stans wouldnt hesitate to remind him if he ever threw on the purple and gold.

This is true but I do feel if any year was the year to dethrone them this was it . You got Jordan bell improving. Damien Young coming from G league & you know they'll retool the bench for better wings .
After doing the numbers via Los Angeles Lakers 2018-19 Salary Cap. Paul George will have to take 1,709,861 less to sign with the Lakers. That's with or without my proposed trade. Why? Because if the Lakers reneg on Bryant, Zubac and Ennis. They still would have to account for the min contract roster sport that's $831,927 per spot which is three in this case is 2,495,781. So technically, LAL can't offer the full max to PG13. They can only offer 28,590,139 in year 1. This is regardless of if they kept Ball/Ingram/Kuzma or traded one. Of course, they could stretch Deng which will allow them do so. This will also allow them to sign their rookie in the draft as well.
With the $36.8 million owed to Deng over the next two, the Lakers can stretch him out to $7.4 million over five years, which would open $9.8 million in additional cap space in July. That isn't quite enough to get to two max slots, putting the Lakers at about $57.3 million in space. That's where a Deng extension can help, with the caveat that any additional salary doesn't have to be guaranteed. By adding three years to his deal with no extra money guaranteed, the Lakers would have the ability to stretch Deng's salary over 11 total years, at $3.3 million a season. The issue with this is, keeps dead cap on the Lakers for along time. Not ideal for the cap.
Best case: Assuming LA signs LeBron to a max or CP3 to a max. PG13 takes 2,141,434 or even convince him to take in the range of 3 million dollars less from 30.3 to 27.3 which will give the Lakers a chance to add some good young players to the roster from the 2018 NBA Draft as LA has trade options.

Naw, they need Bron. I just want to get him in places where winning a chip is highly possible.nikka you been all over this board the last 12 hours talking aobut Philly/LA/Houston/Spurs need LeBron
Nah nikka
LeBron needs them
Bron continues to improve his game. I'll say till he's 38.

Okay ...you didn't answer my question
You damn well you'll beif the goat signs to your squad
nikka we are the GOAT franchise in all professional sports, it’s the other way around. But Bron ain’t ready for the challenge of being a Laker, that’s why he ain’t signing.

I'm putting my faith in Magic & Pelinka on whoever we decide to bring here, they've done a great job so far, but I am nervous 
Exactly, brehs need to stop adding george paul bum ass to the equation. He need to go to the rockets so we can son him, harden, and cp3 at the same time.
nikka we aint the Grizzlies. Have you seen the banners?
That nikka need us. His legacy is fukked up. Not ours.
If PG wants to take under the max,I’d take him. But he is far too inconsistent offensively.
Only on a fair deal would I accept it and even then I’ll be sick to my stomach since I hate him as a player.
But truthfully, I’m starting to get the suspicion that Magic gon try to pull a LeBron/PG13 move.
