I'm with it .. Trade KP! while he still has lottery value.
I watch KP for two seasons and still I'm clueless on what position KP type of performance could help a team win.
I'm still wondering how freshmen Lauri Markkanen got in the top-10 picks on some mock drafts
I may consider this, dealing with Portland if we're dumping Noah but asking for Booker and #4 suggest Phil isn't serious and will make matters worse. I mean he practically has to deal him at this point. They aren't on the same page after several opportunities to mend fences.

The Lakers and Pacers have reportedly engaged in preliminary talks regarding a Paul George deal.
Reports around the league indicate that the Lakers are unwilling to part ways with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA draft for PG-13, but they are reportedly willing to offer a package that would include the likes of Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick. The Lakers will likely be coming in with low-ball offers given that George has made it known that his desire would be to sign with Los Angeles as an unrestricted free agent in 2018, but there is reportedly some fear amongst the Laker execs that his attitude towards Los Angeles could shift if he's traded to a winning team this summer. In addition to the Lakers, the Cavs, Wizards, Rockets and Clippers have reached out to the Pacers regarding a Paul George deal.

NBA Radio debating if NYK should trade KP to BOS for a package of Smart, Brown, #3 pick and next year's Brooklyn pick.
One host said he would do that if he were BOS but wouldn't if he were NYK. He said Smart is a free agent next summer and KP has top 5 in nBa potential. Went on saying KP impacts perimeter on offense and paint on defense.... very few have this skill set.
Sorry.... I would do that deal in a heartbeat.

If Phil trade KP and Noah to Boston .. Noah' so-call bad contract will become a great contract for Boston, when Noah so-call injury gets well to play 65 or more regular season games, plus Boston will have a great passing high-post big-man in Noah to carry the team over the edge to win the ECF .. Noah & Horford leadership calling shots in Boston rotation would become the team to beat in the EC.
KP will not be a starter or 30 minute player in Boston!
Recall .. Noah and Gasol brought out the real talent in Butler a few seasons ago in Chicago.
I agree. ROLL THE DICE.

Brook Lopez has reportedly been traded to the Lakers in exchange for D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov.
Wow. This is the first major deal orchestrated by Lakers' new GM Rob Pelinka, and it's a great get for both parties. If they Lakers aren't able to swing a deal for Paul George this summer, Lopez will be the clear-cut No. 1 option on offense there, and his value should improve somewhat as he won't be playing for a team that is constantly resting their guys. Ivica Zupac will be confined to limited minutes behind Lopez, so his value takes a hit with BroLo's arrival, and LA sending away Russell could hint that they are leaning towards taking Lonzo Ball No. 2 overall.

The Spurs, Celtics, Suns and 76ers have all reportedly reached out to the Knicks regarding Kristaps Porzingis.
How far any of these talks got is uncertain, as it's being reported that Phil Jackson's asking price in any potential Porzingis deal remains very high, but it's interesting to see that New York appears to be fielding offers for a guy many believe is their franchise player. For what it's worth, according to Porzingis' brother, KP6 remains committed to the Knicks despite the constant drama that has surrounded the franchise since his arrival.

Lakers clearly admitting the pre-Magic Johnson front office made 2 big front office mistakes in drafting Russell at #2 and signing Mozgov to a big deal (which was clearly a mistake at the time they did it).
Fair trade or not, you would sure as hell hope that a #2 overall pick after only 2 seasons would net you more than moving a bad contract, Brook Lopez in the final year of his contract, and a late 1st round pick.

Like I said if I'm Magic on Thursday, Adam Silver says "With the number 2 pick the LA Lakers select D'Aaron Fox of the University of Kentucky". Though I did read an ESPN piece on guys in the draft that have the potential to be successes, Lonzo Ball grabbed the top spot with the computer predicting he'll be the most likely guy to be a success in the NBA. His numbers just reek of shooting efficiency, passing that leads to team success. I just remember him being dominated by Fox in the tourney.
Not when you need the cap space to land PG13 and and combination of two Lebron/Westbrook/Kyrie/Melo
I'm with you and if I'm the Lakers then I take Fox. They're trying to lure PG13 by 2018. You don't want anything that will scare him off. Fox is the safer fit in my mind.
You are very generous to include Melo in that list with the other 4 stars.
