Hopefully this summer is a good one. Otherwise just keep the kids and get sensible role

Yeah, I don't think the reports that superstars are going to snub the Lakers are exaggerated at all. Why not bypass them and go directly to Nikola Vucevic? Randle and D-Lo will want nothing to do with us. And knowing Magic, he wants nothing to do with them. I really don't see how this summer will be a good one. Magic has a big fucking mouth and a tampering reputation and many agents are not fans of Pelinka.
HAVING SAID THAT, if they can get two Tier 2 free agents entering their primes who can actually shoot the three, sign them to long term deals. They can always be traded for a disgruntled star (see Victor Oladipo and DeMar DeRozan). This "cap space is precious" approach has failed. Enough of the one year deals. If the Lakers think that AD in 2020 is a shoo-in, they are making a mistake IMO. If he wants to be here, they can always clear out the space (see Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors).
