What is who has a worse FO than the Lakers

I dont understand how a FO that got Bron and AD, and still kept Kuzma, and might even land Kawahi is bad. If any other team got these type of players their GM would be called amazing.

There's always drama with the lakers, and they always win either way. 80s team, 2000s team, all had a lot of drama and it didnt matter.

They landed those guys because of the laker name (and even the AD trade it's debatable if it was a wise move considering what they gave up). This current FO is trash

So NO traded AD to the Lakers bc NO likes the Lakers organizations history?... And what about Kuzma, what does that have to do with the Lakers legacy? Also, i thought that Ingram and Ball sucked, so how did we give up a lot? And if you don't think they suck, this FO drafted them, can't be that terrible then.

You are right. This lakers FO is a finely tuned machine lol.

Never said that either, just dont think they are horrible. They got s**t done these past 3 offseasons, drama or not. Now Boston, they f**ked up. People should be laighing at them. But its Boston and espn wouldn't dare go after them. Hayward contract, Kyrie, not getting AD, letting Rozier walk for nothing, and now hoping Kemba, who barely even makes the playoffs, is their answer.

But i can see why you think Lakers FO sucks. When your team sings players like Barnes and Cory Joseph, who needs Bron and AD, and possibly Kawhi.

Lol see you have to bring up the kings to deflect from what steaming pile of s**t the lakers FO is.

Someone will trade for Iggy when he's making $17M?

I mean, Warriors had to trade him and attach a future 1st rd pick which is only top 4 protected but Memphis will be able to trade him for assets?

GS had to trade him under the gun to make the D'Lo deal work. Memphis can sit on him until the trade deadline if they want.

Not really. Warriors had until July 6th to find a trade partner for Iggy. No deals are done yet - teams have only agreed to deals.

A few teams will. Houston has long coveted him and he'd fit to a T what the team needs right now. With the league open this season they would definitely take him in hopes it puts them over the top.

The Rockets can get him without touching Harden, Paul, Tucker, Gordon or Capela. All the remaining eligible contracts plus a small trade exception makes it legal.

For Memphis they get a few decent role players who could develop on a rebuilding team. Hartenstein, Clark, House mainly plus a 2nd Rd pick and saving Memphis about $4 million would work.

Maybe - I think Iggy is good for 24-28 minutes a game in playoffs. If you want to keep him fresh - you gotta play him like 20-22 minutes per game during the regular season and avoid playing him on b2b as much as possible.

With CP3 on the roster - I think they can use younger fresher legs. I'll be surprised if Houston trades all their depth for him, but then again - it's Houston. With Warriors injured and weakened - everyone is gunning for the chip. I can see them doing that.

It wouldn't be any actual depth other than House. Can't trade Rivers or Green. It'd be DLeague guys or guys who didn't play in the playoffs. Hartenstein is someone with potential that Memphis can some run and maybe blossoms but not Houston, House would be a good, young role player with upside. The rest are cheap, garbage players.

In my proposal Memphis would get two young players with upside, one of which is already a good role player, a 2nd Rd pick and save roughly 4 million.

Houston adds Iggy to Harden, Paul, Gordon, Tucker, Capela, Rivers and Green. That's 8 guys who will all still play on a playoff rotation.

#KawhiUpdate:

After looking like we would find out today, we will not. Kawhi is still undecided & is not going to finalize his decision today.

Also, contrary to other reports, Kawhi is NOT interested in signing a 1 or 2 year deal. When he signs, it will be a long term contract.
