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

[VelourSocks]

God it must suck being a lakers fan. Y'all really that impatient to be mediocre?

Draft Ingram and let him develop and develop your young pieces with JC and russell and randle.

Such a shame that the fanbase is so impatient that they have to try and win now immediately while they are a long away from rebuilding. Trading the #2 pick is a short term solution to a long term problem.

 

[Mr swag]

only person is PG that is worth the number 2 that name has been floating around

but no way in hell that the pacers trade him and drop out the playoffs completely

 

[Recca Gatsby]

I am all with a Thunder/Wolves type rebuild. Yeah a couple years of pain but for upwards of a decade of legitimacy. Hope we draft Ingram and keep our pick next year too

I don't see many Lakers fans wanting to trade the pick. The GM has said he will obviously leave all options open and this article ran with it. It's not likely that this pick will be traded just like last year.

Does Melo enjoy LA?

 

[HoldThisL]

I would be happy with either Simmons or Ingram. If they trade either one of them it has to be for paul george. No fukking DeFrozan.

 

[threattonature]

They'd be stupid to trade it. Pacers and Kings aren't trading young proven stars for an unknown.

Plus the Lakers using the pick on Ingram or Simmons helps your salary cap. They will be productive players on a rookie scale for FOUR years with an increasing cap.

Most important thing said on here. With Ingram, Randle, Clarkson continuing to improve and either Randle or Nance improving it may be another bad year or two. But if those players continue improving in two years time Lakers should have great money to surround that talent with. Despite what folks say Lakers till get in the room on every big name free agent. Problem has been there's been no plan for the future so of course no free agents would sign. But you get that young cheap talent and money to sign another couple of stars to pair up around it and they'll eventually attract somebody.

paul george paul george

 

[erickonasis]

Y'all want Melo?!?

honestly I'd rather have the pick but I've always wanted Melo in LA for some dumb reason

 

[erickonasis]

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

 

[Rakim Allah]

teams are retarded

who wouldn't trade unproven soft scrubs like ingram and simmons for proven studs like cousins and george?

Mitch will fukk it up anyway like he did with D'Snitch

How did Mitch fukk up with drafting D'Tective??

 

[Danie84]

Can't wait for LarryHolmesAKERS to turnover over another quality draft pick

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I am sure Mitch is going to call Pacers and Kings and they will both decline and he will move on, it's worth a try. But I doubt he is out there and trading it for anyone. The one I am scared about and saw on these reports is Jimmy Butler, I don't think Mitch is this dumb to trade a 2nd for Butler.

Butler > Ingram lol

You want 12 years of this?

 

[AAKing23]

In no way possible is the league not gonna get Simmons to the Lakers let's be real.

Just like there was no way y'all wouldn't get the 1st pick


We taking Simmons breh, Brett Brown has known Simmons since he was a child because he coached his Dad


See what it feels like to watch the player you want get taken right in front of you, like y'all snatched D'angelo from us last year
