Will LA learn from their mistakes?

[Im Still Ballin]

Will they keep this core together or go after Kyrie?

Irving isn't Westbrook, but acquiring him will lose them depth. I'm not sure about the specifics, but I doubt they can keep all of Reaves, D'Angelo, Rui, and Vanderbilt.

I'd rather have a squad that's proven itself. Small adjustments can be made. What do you think?

[Im Still Ballin]

Checking the contracts now. Rui, Austin, and D'Angelo are free agents. Vanderbilt has one more year on a cheap contract; Beasley has a 16.5m team option.

How much are those three FAs getting? Rui I think gets anywhere from 10 to 20m. Austin and D'Angelo maybe 15-25m? I don't know.

Getting Kyrie without giving up Austin and Rui is the dream. Is it possible?

I’ll tell you what … those last two embarrassing attempts by LeBron (Dirk off the side of the board, and getting tied up by Murray then blocked by Gordon, on a predictable slow drive to finish with the left) will make him yearn for the leaveland days when Kyrie took the final shots.

That will be a factor in his pushing Pelinka and Buss to do whatever it takes to get Kyrie.

If Im Dallas Im BEGGING the Lakers to do an Irving for Reaves sign and trade.
