@forumbluegold Would you rather that or trading Vando and DK to Denver for Braun? I'm on the fence.

@LakersHMA @hmfaigen @LFRPod @TrevorLane @jovanbuha Love it! Welcome to the Collective Pete!

@RajChipalu @hmfaigen So @hmfaigen what @RajChipalu is saying is you may need to focus on Red Dead Redemption 2...that's seems like it could be based in Houston

@LFRPod @joinoffside Let's get that Android app up 🙏

@hmfaigen Curious your thoughts, but this does not seem like a good start to an 'auditioning period' for the front office.

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@AnthonyIrwinLA Chances Giannis and LeBron both ask for trades and the Lakers are able to swing a 3 or 4 team trade that lands them Giannis with LeBron going to a preferred destination and then all the return for him rerouted to MKE along with DK4, the 1st, and all the swaps?

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@hmfaigen Do you think Austin has to give up #15 when the Lakers trade for Jokic and somehow keep AR out of the deal?

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@AnthonyIrwinLA Any rumblings of a Bob Meyers (or similar hire)? I know Walters said he wasn't going to clean house, but adding to the front office seems like a smart thing to do. A way to have new voices and ideas while not firing anyone right off the bat.

@LFRPod Quick question Pete, and not that I think it's going to happen, but if LeBron takes a huge pay cut to get the Lakers under the cap (~10mil for next year) can the Lakers sign a player for about 8mil to get to the cap, then have the NTPMLE and the bi-annual?

@damanr To soon

@trevorlane It may be 3 firsts to lite

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@AnthonyIrwinLA With the Pistons hiring Bikerstaff, does this open up Borrego as a realistic assistant option? The early assumptions were he was going to get one of Detroit or Cleveland, and since that apparently did not occur, I wonder if the Lakers make a call?

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@KamBrothers I agree, but I wonder how a better managed roster last season would have changed things. Less minutes to Cam, not have Prince be the primary POA defender, actually playing Christie, etc... Injuries definitely forced Ham's hands, but I just wonder if there was enough collectively.

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@AnthonyIrwinLA What are you hearing about the current state of the trade market? I know it appeared to be brought down to earth a bit compared to the last deadline (with the AC trade), but now it would seem the Knicks decided to give everything that wasn't nailed down.

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@AnthonyIrwinLA @hmfaigen So inquiring minds want to know. Does this mean Bridges is approximately four first round picks better than Caruso...or that Giddy is as good as 4 first round picks?

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@CanesWarningFS @chrispaulwalker @UngarCanes @RogueBJP @OversteerTV @DM__MIA I agree with your overall statement 💯. But point of clarification, Inglewood is in LA county, so if we're using county lines this doesn't work.

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@trevorlane With Brooklyn trying to get into the draft do you think the Lakers make a call with a package around the 17th for Cam?

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@AnthonyIrwinLA @hmfaigen You guys have been working together for a while now... Same time!

[Ben @BenBjamminG]

@AnthonyIrwinLA When do you think DLo will make his decision? I understand not doing it before the draft, because if he opts in then a lot of draft day trade possibilities open up. But other than that is there an advantage to waiting? Other than applying 'pressure' to the Lakers?
