Lebron is great but not being able to take any of those fools one on one down the stretch is a big blow. Wow

Lakers need defense

"Jackson is the one forward who is in the mix with the Lakers for this draft pick and is widely viewed as the best two-way player in the draft."

Trade the #2 for #4 and a 2018 pick?
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/n...ring-trading-away-no-2-pick-to-suns-or-kings/

While the Lakers are reportedly interested in taking Lonzo Ball or Josh Jackson with their pick, ESPN's Chad Ford reports that the team might trade the No. 2 pick.

The Lakers held internal discussions about trading back two spots to No. 4 if the Suns were to offer them a 2018 first-round pick. ... The Lakers believe that Ball or Jackson might be available at the No. 4 spot. If not, the Lakers are still very high on [De'Aaron] Fox and [Jayson] Tatum, and believe that securing an additional prospect might be worth dropping two spots in the draft.

The Suns aren't the only potential trade partner. The Lakers are also reportedly exploring a deal with the Kings to get two picks in this year's draft. From Ford:

The Kings are another potential trade partner for the Lakers. They hold the rights to the fifth and 10th picks and have discussed moving up in this year's draft.

Sacramento is reportedly sold on Fox and might be willing to move up to get him. Should the Lakers choose to fall back, they could potentially pick up two quality players since this is considered an extremely deep draft.

Phoenix probably won't take Lonzo but Philly might... is it worth it if they end up with Fox or Tatum?

Say what you will about LaVar, but this would indicate he did an above average job raising his kids:https://www.theplayerstribune.com/lonzo-ball-lavar-fathers-day-to-the-loudest-guy-in-the-gym/

This is also going to be the most anticipated draft since the Lebron draft.

They were talking about Russel for George to keep him away from the Cavs and Clippers.  I'd do that trade.

CAVs are going after butler.  This one makes more sense.

Not sure what the clips will do.. now with Jerry West at the helm!

Blake and cp3 can walk, right? So the clips should get something..

Also, I heard the Suns are looking to land Butler.

Nah. The Lakers are not competing for a championship next season. There's no reason to trade anything of serious value today for PG, unless it benefits the long term plan. If they intend to draft a guard (Fox, Ball), then maybe you consider moving Clarkson for PG.

If I'm the Clips, I'd do the Klove for Blake trade in a heartbeat.  He's a much better fit for the team.

Clips should focus signing cp3 and Blake. If not, they might be in a worst spot than the Lakers.
