Interesting Lakers trade scenario

Let's be realistic why would bron leave Miami for a team in worse shape by almost any measure? Why not just team up with melo elsewhere? I see bron Joining at leasdt 10 teams before the lakers

I agree, but it's still hard to open that door even a crack. I'm not saying that I wouldn't consider it, or even do the deal if it came to fruition. . . but I wouldn't pursue it that hard either. I do like Nash for a year and then off the books. He'd be a great mentor to a guy like Burke.
 
DL will be judged based on his success building our team... And Lebron is never coming here to play for the jazz. If we don't take the deal someone would and we would miss out. No one in Memphis is complaining about the two championships they gave the lakers... They are just glad they have Marc gasol.

You make your team better, I don't care if it helps the Lakers.... They are the Lakers they won't stay down long mine as well get something out of it!!!

Fair point. I'm not in love with the idea of a deal with the Lakers, but I don't hate it either. If it was any other team, I'd probably be all for it. I do think that the Jazz need to maximize their cap space to get the best possible assets that they can. Cap space alone is a valuable asset if used correctly. This summer provides them with a chance to really make something happen.
 
There is no way we`re getting #7 for a bit of cap relief. We could probably get whoever they pick for Hayward after July 1st though, if they still have the rights to the drafted player at that time.

We know Kobe loves him some Hayward.
 
Reports have LA asking for Thad and MCW. If Phili trades MCW then I have Embiid falling to us or swapping 5 n 23 for 4 to grab him there.
 
If Philly opts for Exum, I really think that ORL goes Smart or Vonleh. ORL has been really quiet on Vonleh but I think they must like him. They need a big just as much as they need a guard. Smart and Oladipo could be pretty nice, though.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this happening with Celts, Lakers, Kings or Charlotte. I think someone will want to overpay Hayward, unfortunately.

I'd love to have 3 top-10 picks this coming season. If you can buy the Lakers for #23 and get a second out of Hayward then we'll have a helluva fun season to watch.
