bleacherreport.com/articles/2782637-updated-trade-packages-and-landing-spots-for-kawhi-leonard-after-nba-draft#slide1This article suggests that we offer Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart, Luol Deng, and a first rounder for Kawhi. San Antonio would be absolutely foolish to turn that down deal, but the Lakers are giving up WAY TOO MUCH in this deal. It makes me sick to my stomach. Randle would be gone too since we wouldn't able to afford him after signing LBJ and George. All that would be left from our core is Lonzo Ball. Sure we'd win a championship or two, but is it worth it to give up long term success?

I am legitimately torn on what to do. Leonard would be an amazing get and he is still pretty young but the price to pay is astronomical. When you're talking about giving up most of your extremely young and talented core for one guy then it gets hairy. If we got him however, I would be willing to bet that James and George come too. So then it boils down to this; would you make this trade?:
Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, Randle, Deng, and a future first rounder for James, George, and Leonard. When you lay it out like that it seems like a hell yeah. But there's always that lingering thought in the back of my mind that if we're patient we could keep the young core and add James and Kawhi. That is the move of legends that pays off the most long term. But a bird in the hand as they say.....

Sure we'd win a championship or two, but is it worth it to give up long term success? Way too much indeed. The Lakers know that. If we whiff this summer, we can just re-sign Randle and get Kawhi in 2019. The Spurs just need to be sweated out longer. Might take til Feb. |

I won't be mad if we end up with Kawhi, LeBron, and George, but I would sure hope we keep at least two of the core (Ingram, Ball, Kuzma, Randle, Hart). |

I'm glad we didn't cave to the Spurs' ridiculous demands. Those yougsters will be valuable chips in a trade for Anthony Davis in the near future.  |

AD would be sweet, but I'd be happy with just Kawhi next season. If we add Kawhi and keep the rest of the kids, we're the team to beat, IMO.

1. Lakers
2. Anyone playing Toronto

My two favorite teams in 2018-19: 1. Lakers 2. Anyone playing Toronto Agreed. I don't want to be mean, but I'd like Kawhi to roll his ankle after the all star break and have it be just bad enough to where he misses the rest of the regular season, but mild enough for him to make a complete recovery after the season. |
