    CC/Tuck/Qi
    Lebron/Luc
    Ariza/Korver
    Harden/Green
    Cp3

    Leaves you with the 9 man rotation and Qi as a developmental prospect. Sure you can add another 2-3 quality veterans and I think LeBron would fit in easily.

    If there’s a will there’s a way. Let’s not forget we have the best wheeler and dealer in Morey. in Morey we trust.

    LeBron will be a Laker over this summer.

    Lakers can get down to $13.6 million by:
    *Renouncing the rights to Julius Randle $5.6 million Qualifying offer.
    *Trade Loul Deng ($18 mil) & Lonzo Ball ($7.5 mil)
    (Even less payroll by dropping Tyler Ennis and Thomas Bryant NG’d contracts)

    https://en.hispanosnba.com/salaries/los-angeles-lakers

    Lakers will bring in LeBron with Paul George with possibly Boogie Cousins (Pels say they won’t give him Max $)

    Chance the Lakers swing deal for Kawhi Leonard with Lonzo Ball/Deng/other’s/25th pick in 1st round.

    Try to fill in the roster with role players like our own Gerald Green or Luc Mbah a Moute....Ariza?

    DeMarcus for max in houston would be excellent! I would rather sign him for max than CP3 or LeBron in the off season. He would fit like a charm in this system.

    U would rather sign DeMarcus coming off a devastating Achilles injury to a max? Boogie for the max in Houston would be a boneheaded move on Morey’s part.

    No way Lebron goes to LA.

    Boogie
    Lebron
    Kawhi
    George

    Doesnt honestly concern me much.

    I’m not sure Boogie would get max money from Lakers. But it’s the Lakers plus play with LeBron and Paul George. Feelings hurt that Pels shorted him.....pushes him elsewhere. Even though he mentioned recently
    that Pels are an option.

    I believe the Lakers would rather have Kawhi with PG13/LeBron. Kuzma would be still be there with Ingram.
    That is a lot of SF’s and PF’s. Wondering if they could go: PG13(SG)/ Kawhi(SF)/ LeBron(PF)....as base core...
    Kuzma (backup PF) & Ingram (backup SF)

    They may have money to go after a JJ Redick (on the cheap), or Rondo (on the cheap) to go with
    J Hart (if not involved in trade), .....Aron Baynes (BOS) or Nerlens Noel (cheap) to go with Zubac (center).

    how the hell does Don Draper, a close personal friend of Carmelo Anthony's, have any insider info on Chris Paul's state of mind.

    Something's fishy here. Where's Burt Steele when you need him.

    CP3 and Melo are very close.

    It isn't so crazy to put the pieces together.

    Lebron to Houston.....CP3 takes pay cut.... It may be all a part of the plan.

    Speculation.
