Where's that from. And from what im reading it's between Nurse and that Spurs assistant now.

I guess its an idea though. Thought it was a more legit rumor

 

[Mexi]

how is any of that possible lol

kuz and Ingram for kawhi

Bron and george sign max

Nurkic signs vet min? Lol. These laker fans are wilding. Nurk lmfao

 

[bosoxlover12]

the nurkic part is the least realistic lmao

 

[Pugz]

laker fans stay delusional

Lakers are the Vegas favorite to land LeBron now

how is any of that possible lol

Nothing substantiated behind this, but just trying to think of a semi-legitimate outcome
 
Lakers acquire:
SF Kawhi Leonard (SA)
SF Paul Zipser (CHI, cut)
 
Spurs acquire:
SF Brandon Ingram (LAL)
PF Kyle Kuzma (LAL)
C Robin Lopez (CHI, stretched to $4.7M/yr cap hit over 3 years)
PG Tyler Ennis (LAL)
$12.5M trade exception (CHI)
Better of 2020 swap option with LAL 
 
Bulls acquire:
SF Luol Deng (LAL)
PG Patty Mills (SA)
C Thomas Bryant (LAL)
2018 Lakers 1st (Top 7 protected)
Worse of 2020 swap option with LAL 
 
 
That would give a lot of cap savings to the Spurs, future assets for the Bulls to take on salary, and enough cap to give maxes to Lebron and PG for the Lakers while retaining Lonzo. But idk, its a stretch

that deal is way too big to ever happen. props for figuring it out, though. maybe something does happen but that lakers picture wont happen. they could get lebron and kawhi or lebron and pg - not all three

im not even mentioning nurk

they could get all 3 if someone takes Deng

Kuz, BI and Deng for kawhi

Sign Bron and George

 

[Hurricane Season]

Lonzo would be kind of useless with LeBron on the floor.

That's why I don't like the Sixers talk. Although Simmons could potentially be somewhat of a threat as an off ball cutter.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Where the hell does Nurkic come into this hahaha

 

[Mexi]

Guys like nurkic and valciunas are dying

 

[CameronCrazy06]

How would they get him though

 

[Mexi]

Im guessing whoever created the image imagines a vet min or mle

 

[CameronCrazy06]

A 23 year old taking the MLE lol

 

[bosoxlover12]

Nurkic will get $10M+ from Portland
 
He's not taking the $2M minimum to sign with LA lol

 

[Paulius]

Sarunas got blueballed

Its all good tho, this was great exposure either way. Now its time to get Barselona back on top of the Euroleague

Masai will regret it
