Lakers Talk

@Yinoma2001 Yep

Lakers should try to ensure preserving a full MLE next summer. My target:

@LD77VNGNC Me too. They never leak

Adou, Knecht and Vando + 1 swap + 3 first round picks🤔 Who is Rob gonna trade for? I feel like it's somebody who hasn't been on our radar.

@LD77VNGNC Keegan Murray is my off the radar pick but idk if Kings would trade him and if so idk if we have enough to get him

Power Forwards I think the Lakers should consider before Kuminga: - Keegan Murray - Cam Johnson - PJ Washington - Obi Toppin - John Collins (wish we could've trade for him) - Kyle Kuzma

@AnthonyIrwinLA Yes it was

Not sure if this is out there but I’m hearing it was Suder who was cut to make room for Kaluma.

@JedFontaine Nah not yet. An A plus if he if gets Watson and a backup center but yes he’s done great but the job not finished yet

Rob Pelinka has had an amazing summer, and is still going. While other teams waited and rested, Rob made the Lakers younger, deeper, and more athletic. He added: - Walker Kessler (best center on market) - Quentin Grimes - Sandro Mamukelashvili - Colin Sexton - Kevon Looney - Ziaire Williams - Matisse Thybulle - Jaden Hardy - Arthur Kaluma (2-way) And Retained: - Austin Reaves - Cam Carr (steal of the draft) - Chris Manon (2-way) They also recouped 2 second round picks, and smartly balanced cap to access the full $16M Non-Tax payer Mid Level Exception to bring in a major contributor next season. The Lakers are now very well set up for the future. And they may STILL not be done. They are actively chasing starting level forwards like Jonathan Kuminga and PJ Washington. Say what you will about the past, but this summer has been an A+ for the Lakers

Now @rob_pelinka get us @peytonwatson_ and a backup center and we’re ready to go for chip 18.

Thybulle is by far my favorite signing of the off-season besides Kessler

@Yinoma2001 Favorite pick up of the summer besides Kessler

Nice!!!

The Lake front office never leaks target so I truly believe it’s gonna be someone none of us expected.

@Yinoma2001 I’ve said Walker is very underrated and the pacers won’t want to pay him

Hardy/DK brings back close to 18m. Here are some interesting names at that range (not saying I'd trade for them all but fits somewhat). -Keldon Johnson (exp.) -Gafford -Toppin -Herb Jones -Grant Williams -DFS -Derrick Jones Jr -Jalen Smith -Coulibaly -Jarace Walker -Goga (lol)

masai ujiri what an incredible offseason he’s had for the mavs.

@TJRosen_ 100000 percent

Like I said back on July 4th, LeBron to the #Cavs is a done deal and has been a done deal. All the other rumors were just smoke and good B-Roll for the documentary. Expect an announcement in the next 48 hours. #LeBronWatch #Cavs

@LAL_MUFC Yes but Johnson is older

A Kuminga & Johnson duo would be awesome for the Lakers

Man if we were able to keep one first round pick and or a swap atleast we’d be able to get Watson as well. Hes a LA kid who wants to come back home

The media is lying to you. The Lakers are not that bad, and are a decent to good team right now but after they add a starting pf, and if they stay healthy they can compete against everyone in my opinion.

@esidery If there anyway to get a starting sf too have grimes off the bench that’s a lethal team and let’s get greedy a backup c

The Lakers’ projected rotation next season, if they sign-and-trade for Jonathan Kuminga: Starters: Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Quentin Grimes, Kuminga, Walker Kessler Second Unit: Collin Sexton, Cameron Carr, Ziaire Williams, Jake LaRavia, Adou Thiero, Sandro Mamukelashvili

@JedHustan First you said heat now your saying 76ers what a joke he can’t play on both teams lol

The deal is done. LeBron James is officially a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. News will be dropping shortly via Shams.

@JedHustan You make stuff up everyday it’s horrible

@Grumsi24 You are trippin

@LakersDailyTalk Kuminga is a better player than Watson.

I'm starting to think that LAL will have to add Adou for the Kuminga trade! Lakers get: Kuminga (3year/48M) Atlanta get: Vanderbilt and Thiero + 2032 1st pick swap

@HA8TER @TheAthletic You keep putting out fake reports.

BREAKING: The Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade to the Lakers is officially done. After weeks of speculation, Los Angeles lands one of its top offseason targets, adding a major piece to its championship aspirations. Per @TheAthletic HERE WE GO 🍿 #Lakeshow
