Love it!!
Would have liked to get Kuzma but that’s fine.
I would love to keep Lonzo if his dad stays out of it like he has lately and Lonzo becomes all in with what Griffin wants. I believe Lonzo can develop into an all around very good PG who if can ever shoot is a star. If not we have a very valuable trade piece in Lonzo along with future 1st round picks that quite a few teams would be very interested in.. Lonzo could thrive in Gentry’s system with the talent he will have around him. Lonzo and Jrue is instantly the best defensive back court hands down. The compliment each other fairly well.
Ideal scenario is we move Balll and 1-2 future 1st for Bradley Beal. The Wizards get their future PG and replacement for Wall along with draft picks. Wall they can also trade as well gathering assets to start a rebuild. The Pelicans get an all star SG that compliments Jrue/Ingram/Zion perfectly. Both teams win in this scenario. Also a possibility is Lonzo is moved for the 6th pick to the Suns which we can then use to flip to someone like the Wizards who would like to go a different route from Ball.
With Josh Hart we have a direct replacement for Moore who is much cheaper and imo going to be a stud next season. Perfect 3&D SG off the bench to play in the back court with Frank Jackson. Exciting bench duo right there imo. Won a NCAA Chanpionsip at Villanova as one of their best players. He’s going to be a very good NBA player for a long time.
Then of course we come to Ingram. Obviously our Docs have given him a 100% go or we don’t make this deal. This kid is going to be a flat out star and will compliment Zion in a similar way as RJ but even better. Ingram looks to become a deadly shooter from 3 and someone who can play point forward creating for others. I expect him to maybe start off slow not being able to do basketball activities this offseason but around the all star break or sooner we will see the young star we just landed in Ingram!
We also have quite a few draft picks along with the 4th pick in this years draft. We have the chance to draft someone who fits in exactly with what we need. Lots of good players that will be available in this spot. I think ultimately this pick is trade for another star caliber player. Either way very exciting to see who we get and what we d!

It's possible. Man. Griff has an absolute arsenal of assets to work with. Making our scouting and development departments top notch is paramount. But he really does have the ammunition to do some great wheeling and dealing. It's like the exact opposite of Life with Dell.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
I complained about Solomon Hill, I complained about Julius Randle, I complained about Boogie when he was bad, I complained about AD half-assing this season, and I complained about Rondo when he couldn't be bothered.
If I gave Anthony Davis, Rajon Rondo, Julius Randle, and Demarcus Cousin trash for not performing, what makes you think I'm gonna just start shedding tears of joy over Brandon ''Blood Clots'' Ingram?
Basketball.
This is truly Lebrons league now . The future is looking really bright for us though. I wonder what we do with all these picks now.
There was good and bad with any trade.
Frankly, I'm not too worried about giving the Lakers AD. If it were the Clippers, Blazers, or Nuggets, I'd worry. But the Lakers have pretenders calling the shots. And LeBron is on the downward slide of his career. It wouldn't surprise me if those picks we got are tremendous assets for us. Plus, we probably will flip Ball.
Dude.
I don't think we could have asked for a much bigger haul from the Lakers. It's everything they could basically offer including three 1st round picks, the only thing they held back was Kuzma but instead we got 3 picks. 1 which is #4, then we will have 4 years for the last one... They could be utter trash in 4 years.
I'm not a huge fan of Ingram and Ball... At all but I expect Griff isn't done dealing yet either.
Super team of the next 3 years at least
Rondo/Butler/James/Kuzma/AD
It sounds like it will be done July 6th.
So speculating 2020 and 2022 for the other 1sts.
WTF didn't the Lakers just draft Tatum instead of Ball and i'd be happy?
Like I said, if Griff has more up his sleeve, I can take it. If he flips Ingram and the 2021 LA pick for John Collins or something, I'll concede he was playing chess instead of checkers.
But I don't hold out much hope for Ball, and I don't think the risk of Ingram with his massive, massive flaws is worth taking. If any of the picks we got from LA have protections, or if one of them is the 2020, then I think we've set ourselves up for a robbery.
I hope Ball, Ingram, and Hart come in with a chip on their shoulder that Gentry can tap.
Gonna be interesting to see the details on the Picks LA just gave NOLA. From what I understand the Pelicans didn’t want Lakers FRP next year. But through pick swaps they essentially have control of the Lakers draft for the next 7 years.

Okay, this is interesting.
Pick swaps?
I’ll say it again, folks. The Pels aren’t done.

Please be true.
Everyone happy
The biggest thing this tells me is Ainge missed out YET AGAIN. How long before the Celtics turn on him for not getting a superstar.... AGAIN?
Fans can say they want to build around their core but bringing back the exact same team minus Kyrie and getting bounced early in the playoffs are going to turn a lot of people against Ainge. Yet again he has valued his assets over making a move and he's about to get stuck with his team... Rozier has to get paid this offseason, Brown and Tatum the next two. Unless somebody develops into a superstar or the get super lucky in the draft they are going to be a mid tier team.
Hopefully the theme of guys leaving the Lakers and turning into ballers continues. Hopefully we can turn Jrue into the Suns 6th pick.
