Cowherd: 2 sources say if Lakers get #1 pick they will trade it

[keep-itreal]

I would get Paul George no matter what

[DingDengDong]

The Demarcus trade could be back on

I would laugh.

[kurple]

Lakers trade Russel, Randle, Young, #1 pick for Millsap + Teague

Lakers sign Durant and Whiteside

Teague
Clarkson
Durant
Millsap
Whiteside

This team would be so bad if Durant doesnt sign there..

[JohnnySic]

Mitch has already shown he is unconventional when he picked D Russ over Okafur. I think Mitch will choose Bender over Simmons if Lakers get the 2 pick again. Ingram goes 1 to the Sixers. Sixers will have a nice front court with Okafor, Noel and Ingram. Lakers front court will be nice with Bendar, Randle, and Harrison Barnes if Durant joins the Warriors.

Nice. I'd love the Celtics to get Simmons with the 3rd pick, if they have it.

[longtime lurker]

Lakers can't be this stupid to trade the #1 pick.

[Hopper15]

Jim buss is desperate because his ass on the line.

[senelcoolidge]

seriously the lakers need to get rid of mitch kupchak and the buss's..they are all horrible. I think one of the Buss brothers is supposedly good but he's the one that's not involved with team decisions. as long as these people are there the lakers are garbage. jerry buss is dead, he's not coming back.

[Im Still Ballin]

What's this Paul George talk

Now when I think about it

That would be an epic move if pulled off

He just had a hell of a playoff series

Didnt the NBA nix the CP3 trade that saved the Lakers money while getting the best pg in the game at that time. Mitch and Jim were in charge so they must know what they are doing. Mitch also traded Luke Wltons awful contract for picks. Mitch also traded that bum Kwame for Pau.

The Lakers problem the past 3 years is arrogance in thinking nobody leaves the Lakers. They didnt even get a 2nd round or late 1st picks or some role players in a trade when Pau and Dwight left.

[Goldrush25]

Maybe some team will give them a ridiculous haul for the #1 pick. Good idea to at least float this idea to other teams right now.

2 years left on his deal and plays in a small market. PG is from Cali too. Maybe sign Batum and Whiteside.

Russell
Batum
George
Randle
Whiteside
6th man- Clarkson.

[Milbuck]

He is a sure thing. Theres nothing about his game that wont translate in the NBA. He was a pro style passer forced to play in the slow college game. His whole game is built for NBA speed, and so is his body

PG, Kawhi, Bron, etc are gonna shut his no tournament making ass down in a second. Dude is literally terrified to shoot a 10 foot jumper, until he can even get off a jumer without wetting himself he's not built for shit.

[ImKobe]

bullshit sources

Lakers are gonna draft the player and keep him... why bother trading young guys for players when you have 60 mil in cap space to sign guys in FA...

Also saw Bill Simmons tweet some bullshit about Lakers basically trading all of their young assets for Paul George... these guys are desperate for clicks.

Which FA would waste their prime playing on a team full of 20 year olds?

[Clifton]

Simmons is the surest thing since Lebron James. You don't trade that pick for anything less than Kevin Durant.

which might be what they're after. Who knows?
