Lakers 2016 possible moves

Sign Kevin Durant as FA next summer

Trade for cousins, whatever it may take, just not trading young core (russel, randle, clarkson)

Its highly likely this year lakers will get one of the three top picks in Draft. Using this, sign Skal L (C), or Ben Simmons (top prospect) .

If we release. Some players like kelly, sacre, williams, we may also be able to afford another good player whos a consistent scorer (i. e. Butler, Derozan)

PG:Clarkson/Russel (both combo guards)
SG: Derozan, Butler, Anthony Brown
SF: Durant,
PF:Randle, Nance Jr.
C: Cousins/Upshaw/Tarik

Woth this lineup, were going to have a below average bench, and were going to be playing small ball like the GS Warriors. With the boost in budget due to kobes retirement, this lineup could be possible.

Please comment and/or give me your opinion, thanks.

You don't seem to understand small ball. The warriors are playing small ball because their power forward is 6'7 draymond green who was drafted to play small forward. Julius randle is 6'9 250 and a true power forward. Having him in is in no way small ball

What I meant by small ball is the amount of shooting potential of the backcourt, in which most points are scored outside rather than inside eith the exception of randles penetration.

Derozan and Clarkson are both midrange shooters. No much perimeter scoring

Pretty sure midrange is outside of the key. Try to understand what I'm saying please.

Explain to me how that is like the warriors? Their entire game is based on the 3 pt shot.

Bruh, did you even read what I just said? I said most points will be made out of the KEY, and I just mentioned the Golden State Warriors because most of their points are out of the key. Please reanalyze my statement.

Also, YOU need to understand what small ball is. Small ball isn't just scoring behind the three point line. What I meant by small ball is tht were sacrificing height and defense for more offense with players who have speed and aaccuracy.

Thta's right. Don't reply.

You just went against what you said before. You just said small ball is sacrificing height and defence for speed. Randle is not speed. He is a guy who can body people. Reanalyse your own statements.

Randle is probably the QUICKEST PF amonst the rookies an juniors

Again, reanalyze your statements.
