That a max deal. He would only take a payout to about $35 mil mil per (maybe $40 mil per) if they got Klay, Harden, or some other guy.

I guess he should have been talking to more teams about a trade instead of forcing his son onto the Lakers.

We have a Nate sighting.

 

Nate will take over when JJ fails miserably.  

Our Lakers pick keeps getting better

I agree with you 100%.  Having top end talent that players want to play with is by far the best way to attract free agents.  Sadly, most players in the league do not respect Trae, as we see in every new player poll, all-star voting, etc. so he is probably a contributing barrier to signing free agents. 

I don't think whether people were excited to play with Luka has made one bit of difference on the Dallas roster until this offseason when they finally started signing FAs.  Their biggest swings have been trades.

Every ex-HC can't wait to get on the JJ staff.   Going to have a fight to see who takes over.  

It’s going to be like when Alexander the Great’s generals were trying to consolidate power after he died.

Definitely why Nate went there.  I'm shocked Melvin Hunt ain't in the mix.  His specialty is positioning himself to be the interim.

Flagg would be my preference based on his all-around game, but there are a few high-level players coming out.  A top 3-5 pick could easily make the DJ trade a win.

Flagg is the consensus obviously..

Yeah I think the top 3-5 has much better quality

If the Lakers end up in the lottery and end up winning a top 4 spot in the lottery, that is definitely a huge swing in value to us.  I don't see any way they end up at 5 other than massive injuries but even then I'm skeptical.  (No incentive for LA to lean into that.)

I agree.  I’m expecting a pick in the 15-17 range.
