We won't ever be able to replace Kawhi. Bradley is a good all around player. He can defend, shoot, and get his own shot better than any perimeter player we have on our team. Dejounte's offense is not even close to being there, and he's not the best one-on-one defender. Green is a wild card shooter. White and Walker are still unknowns. Bradley would provide us with a defensive stopper who can keep the other defense honest, something we won't have when Kawhi is gone.


Avery Bradley is 6'2".

Dejounte literally just made an all-defensive team.
Murray made the team for his rebounding and steals. He's not a defensive stopper by any means . I was surprised that he made the all defensive team, honestly.

Would be nice if we could score Randall. Athletic wings are hard to come by.

Forward would be a better term I guess.

Julius Randle is a PF/C, not a wing.

Agree that on-ball, Murray isn't there yet. He tries and he's got long arms, but he needs another 20 pounds and some seasoning to be a real stopper.

Agreed that Murray is not a lock down defender. But as was pointed out earlier, on a team who finished as one of the best defensive units last year (without Kawhi) we really do not need any more defensive specialists. This team needs scoring in a bad way.

Boston would never trade him, but Tatum would be excellent for this team.

I really think Rondo would be good for this team. Not as good as Tatum, obviously, but a lot easier to get. Get the ball out of the hands of Green/Murray.

The team definitely needs some playmakers and people who can facilitate offense.

Tyreke or Rondo would be great.

Would much rather have Tyreke Evans than Rondo imo. But not sure the spurs would offer him the contract he wants and not a fan of his ability to stay on the court.

Tyreke can't stay healthy so he won't be offered as much as his on court talent would suggest. Don't anyone offers now than the mle

One of the reasons I want Rondo is that he may be able to teach Murray, Walker, et al a lot about the game especially if/when TP and Manu retire. I don't know if he's one of the guys who can teach or if controlling and seeing the court is something he feels more than knows though.

A lot of people in the league consider Rondo to have one of the highest basketball IQ's around.

I've read that as well, but it doesn't always translate to teaching/coaching.

Just playing against him in practice for a couple years would help I'm sure

My guess is we won't see a trade with Kawhi until LeBron has made a decision. You would think the Lakers will let LeBron have a say in who he wants to play with, whether it be with Kawhi and/or George or their current roster.

Bron has made all the roster decisions on his team for at least a decade

This is a commonly believed idea but very false. Lebron even admitted he was not involved in the Kyrie trade.

George to stay in OKC, which puts when more pressure on the Lakers. They could have had pg last year but "knew" he would sign as a fa this year.

This year they know kahwi will sign next year, just like George.

Good luck with Lonzo and Boogie, Lakers

Wow. They just might give the Spurs what they want in a trade now. That is assuming LeBron doesn't like the team as is.

If they are getting boogie, they might be more inclined to move Randle to SA in the deal.

How would that work because Randle is a restricted free agent? It would have to be a sign and trade right?

Yes. Also, he would have to agree to it.

Randle would pretty much have to agree, right? Not sure I'd want to be the replacement level player who blocked LeBron/Kawhi/Cousins and have to see 2 of the 3 at work every day.

If he blocked it, it would play out as follows:

LAL: Yo Julius, wanna play for Pop?

JR: Hell naw.

LAL: Shrugs

JR: I'll be signing an offer sheet with another team and if you *******s match, I'll pull a Kawhi.

LAL: Ok. Lebron, what's our next move?

Yeah, the "Boogie to LA" chatter is starting to really pick up. Got to figure that a rather large fire has been lit under the asses of Magic and Co, if/when PG officially agrees to stay in OKC .

He's coming off a nasty achilles injury, too. You'd figure they would just offer him whatever is left after the LeBron max, if that much. It would be risky.

According to Woj, the Spurs/Lakers talks haven't gained any traction. And LeBron might just be willing to sign with himself. I think Woj reported that before it was clear George was going to OKC though.

This is greatness. Lakers plus Boogie and Lebron might not even get 3rd in West.

If the Lakers sign James and Cousins to one and one/one year deals, they could just wait for Kawhi next summer, taking away any leverage the Spurs might have for a trade. Maybe George signing in OKC really doesn't matter.
