Los Angeles Lakers Offseason Plan

[Spens1]

The lakers, what can i say, are pissing me off to such a length. seriously, Pau played shit today (which to be fair he has played well for the most part this series) Bynum is being a bitch, Kobe needs to show AUTHORITAH and get Bynum in check and Pau playing well again. Also if MWP is your last hope, you know you got problems

anyway time to start, Bynum is being a bitch but he is good, Howard wants out of Orlando i would still presume and they really cannot run the risk of losing him as shown by the Indiana series (they played well, but if it weren't for Glen Davis they would be of been screwed).

Lineup as of Now

Bynum/Hill
Pau/McRoberts
MWP/Barnes
Kobe/Gouldelock
Sessions/Blake

Picks
60th

Trade #1: Lakers-Magic

To Lakers:
Dwight Howard
49th pick

To Magic:
Andrew Bynum
Devin Ebanks

Ebanks has shown he is a brilliant defender, if he could learn how to shoot beyond mid-range and extend his shot to the 3, he would start over Hedo easily, and for the Lakers, well, it's Dwight Howard, nuff said.

Trade #2: Lakers-Hawks

To Lakers:
Josh Smith
Zaza Pachulia

To Hawks:
Pau Gasol

before everyone goes trade kicker trade kicker, yes i know but if your willing to deal Josh Smith for Paul Pierce, Paul Pierce of all people who is 34 years old, and at times played like absolute shit for the Celtics. Not that Pau didn't have his moments also, but he averaged 17/10 on 50% shooting as a third option essentially with Kobe and Bynum on the same team who probably combined take at least 40 shots a game on most nights, he has the range, can pass the ball, has good post game and most importantly, can play the C very well. Atlanta lacks a C as they play Horford out of position, if Horford played P.F, imagine how productive he can be, and Pau at C, he is about as productive, if not more then at P.F. Also he will get his shots so 20/10 isn't a stretch. Losing Zaza is not too bad cause before this season he wasn't that good and Altanta could probably sign a better C anyway.

Trade #3: Lakers-Timberwolves

To Lakers:
Micheal Beasley

To Timberwolves:
TPE
2013 First

The T-Wolves aren't resigning Beasley, that's a given, at least this way they can get something out of it and use the TPE to go out there and go get the S.G they need to accompany Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio and company (there are good S.G's out there for grabs, package it with their pick and they could get a hell of a player in return) Lakers get a S.F that is halfway good, sure MWP has played well as of late, but lets remember, this guy was so bad before that he probably faced amnesty and not playing.

So Starting Lineup after the three trades:

Howard/Hill
Smith/Mcroberts
Beasley/MWP
Kobe/Gouldelock
Sessions (F.A)/Blake

picks:
49th
60th

Draft Time:

Trade #4: Lakers-Pistons
To Lakers:
Furkan Aldemir (43rd Pick)

To Pistons:
Cash Considerations (750k-1.5 million)
2013 2nd Round Pick

Seriously underrated, beast in the u-20 eurobasket competition, would love to have him come off the bench next to Hill, straight from Galatasaray, honestly i think he will be able to come off the bench ahead of McRoberts soon enough, whether he stays in Europe for another year or two or not, either way i predict a steal with this one (btw, his countryman who happens to be a rebounding beast also, Ersan Illyasova went 36th btw, fun fact)

60th Pick:
Nemanja Nedovic

Stash another euro away until we figure out what to do, he is quiet good and with some time spent in euro, it could very well work in our favor

F.A
Resign Ramon Sessions to a long term deal
Try to extend Jordon Hill
Sign Barnes to nothing more then 1.5 mill a year over next 2 years, if not, let him walk
Full MLE on Jordon Farmar (cause Steve Blake is that bad)

Final Lineup:
Howard/Zaza/Hill
Smith/Hill/Mcroberts/Aldemir
Beasley/MWP/Barnes
Kobe/Gouldelock
Sessions/Farmar/Blake

[Spens1]

oh, with the 49th draft Tu Holloway, underrated, could be a gem but unsure. still it is the 2nd round
