    All four of those players have reasons to take paycuts to come to LA.
    Chris Paul is a stretch, Lonzo ain't getting traded, Paul George is 99% coming to LA, Lebron would obviously be the one to gain the most from this, and Jordan's hand is forced (if he wants to leave the clippers in FA he has to take a paycut somewhere)

    Ugh, I’ve been hearing of these ‘dream scenarios’ ever since the CP3 deal got canned, still nothing.

    I’ll be happy if they get even 1 star at this point. Till then I’m not believing s---.

    Plus Lakers will barely have to gut the roster, they have the third highest cap room next year based on current contracts

    Lonzo - 7.4m
    Lebron - 32m (3m paycut)
    Jordan - 18m (5m paycut)
    PG13 - 20m (500k paycut)
    CP3 - 22m (3m paycut)

    99.4m which is 2mil under the cap, plus Kuzma tp go over the cap, get a MLE, and then sign mins to fill out the roster

    LeBron ain’t leaving Cleveland man. Keep dreaming. If he does, it’s not gonna be for LA. Dude wants to win and win now. Not wait for Lonzo and others to develop.

    i wish it wasn’t the Lakers since they are the scum of the earth but when he leaves Cleveland that’s where he will go. He doesn’t have to wait for anyone to develop Lonzo just needs to feed him the ball plus PG will be going there and they have room for another star

    Lakers gonna get Paul George at most. If LeBron goes anywhere I'm only seeing it being the Rockets. What have the Lakers done this season that would attract LeBron? They're doing worse than teams that are suppose to be tanking.

    They have the cap space next year to sign lebron, PG, and one other star. Plus they have Lonzo who can feed the ball all around the court. Plus LeBron wants to be in LA anyways.
    If they completely gut the roster and people take small paycuts they can even get two other stars other than PG and Lebron

    Let's be honest though, if Cavs were confident in Lebron staying, wouldn't they have moved that Brooklyn Pick that keeps looking worse and worse as the season goes on (espescially with the troubles the cavs have on the defensive end + offensive end when Lebron doesn't exert himself).

    Timberwolves are looking good lately. I'm not sure what to think of Jeff Teague in this starting lineup. Been loving Tyler out there with Butler and co.

    Teague could provide a nice scoring punch off the bench.

    Jonah Bolden has been killing it overseas. This video is pretty old as well, recently he's in great form. I still cant believe the Sixers stashed him, he can fit right in straight away. A jack of all trades. Defensive freak, can hit the 3 ball and you wouldnt want to be standing under the rim.

    Also Markelle Fultz is gonna return very soon. And it could be tomorrow in the London game. I've heard so much good stuff about his recovery. The 2017 class has been outstanding so far, we havent even seen the no. 1 pick yet. :emoji_wink:
