REPORT: Lakers will actively explore trading No. 2 pick :ohhh:

[Ohene]

Until we actually land these FAs I'm gonna assume we aren't getting them.

To realistically make the playoffs we'd have to add demar and Whiteside. Hope Russell takes a huge leap and hope Ingram comes in ready to perform day 1. That's a lot of conditions breh.

you dont think a Russell/Derozan backcourt would stunt Ingram? I'd probably trade the #2 pick to move down a bit and grab a veteran sharpshooting SF if I signed Derozan.

I dont know enough about Ingram but I feel like if he and Derozan were the wings of a team you'd need a facilitating point guard. Otherwise you're asking for a Rudy Gay/Derozan type of situation

It probably would a little but I feel like it could work. Russell is a great passer. Just needs more run

 

[Ohene]

fact of the matter is yall would really be stupid to sign Derozan and i think yall know that already. Whiteside would be enough of a W. I swear...yall get whiteside and yall looking at a Kings vs. Lakers level rivalry with the ensuing Wolves vs. Lakers

Russell
a reliable SG who can hit the three and knows his place. A Redikk/korver type
Ingram
Russell
Whiteside

develop a good bench as the years pass and man the league would be on notice in 3 years

as a sixers fan...we will give u Okafor...we will give u ure 1st round pick back...and we will give u another first round pick this year (24)


what do u say?

 

[Archangel]

Lakers should trade #2 pick for Jahlil Okafor

Randle & Okafor will not work together, better off just taking Ingram.

Both are developing perimeter shots.They wouldn't clash that badly. But you have a point if you mean defensively.

 

[Maschine_Man]

I would be ok with trading the pick for Paul George but I would prefer not to.

if you can trade that pick for George you do it immediately and don't even think about it.

George is a superstar.

The only reason I would be cautious of this is because we most likely would have to package a lot more then just that pick.

that makes sense, I doubt the pacers let him go just for the 2nd
