NO not draft picks. First an agreed to re-signed GD. Then package KLow for a legit proven player. If three firsts trade at least two maybe all three. It's time to bring real toys to the ToyShop! BTW - - who will Portland hire as GM, what direction will they go? What will Bucks do after their collapse? Philly? Wiz need adults; if they get the #1 Nene will be a Rocket. Sac doesn't have a team or owner at this point. Ray Allen would be a nice add. MJ needs lots and is a bad evaluator. DH12 a Rocket? Could be. Options, so many possibilities, so much unknown yet.
Plan A - Klow/Dragic/CLee backcourt works for me next season... 32 minutes each, covers 2 positions for about 20M total... Decide who you want backing up Parsons at sf (Bud or MMo)... and use everything (picks, Lull rights) and everyone else (Scola, Kmart, Camby, Sam, PPat) to build the frontcourt... Plan B - I'd include Klow in a package for a star...or upcoming talent (prob Cousins, etc)... but I'd only move him if Dragic is sewn up... Klow is a good player on a friendly contract...
I think he'll still be a rocket next year. He got off to a great start this year, but he has come back down to earth lately. I know he is coming back from an illness, but his game was declining before the illness. I think most people at this point would say Dragic is the better player. I think the teams that have cap space this summer, and that are in need of a PG will really drive up the price for Dragic, and teams won't be willing to give up much for Lowry. I think the Rockets might get a late first rounder for Lowry. But, I think the Rockets will just end up thinking they have Lowry signed to a relatively cheap contract, so they will just keep him. It would be great if they could sign Dragic and trade Lowry, but I don't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong.
Kobe? Package Kyle and whatever else is needed to get a top lottery pick. We have so many "assets"...it's time to cash some in, and either reap the rewards, or clean house and start fresh.
He never said Sessions was better than Lowery.. He said the Lakers got a bette pg in Sessions... Basically, Sessions fit there needs more than Lowery will at this point.. T_Man
Dakota doesn't watch the Lakers much I guess. Sessions is a mixed bag. Really good offensively, but very likely the worst defensive point guard in all of the NBA. Easily the worst I've ever seen and I thought Fisher was bad at 38 yeras old. The Lakers are considering having him defend the 2 guard while he's on the floor. That's how bad he is.
Lowry is better than Dragic and Sessions... If you trade him, you better get something really damn good. Doubt Lowry again, eat crow again. I guarantee it...
