So with Lakers shopping Randle, Clarkson and Nance Jr, that should hopefully make the Lakers worse unless somehow they get back a young star in the trade(s).

If Nance is available I would have no problem sending the Lakers Nader and a future first for him.

Yeah, I don’t think Nance is available, except as being attached to a long-term contract the Lakers want to move (Deng).

Me too.
I think that Nance is a fantastic energy big prospect with great pedigree, good demeanor (humor) and work ethic and god given basketball body. He is a Laker and I like him very much.

I didn't think he would be. And yes, he would be one of the sweeteners they have to send out to dump contracts.

Isn't Nance very injury prone?

No more than your average NBA player.  He’s had a 3-4 week injury once a season, at least one of which has been a contact injury (broken hand/thumb) and hasn’t really had enough seasons to judge overall.

He also essentially makes the minimum this year, and is cheap next year as well.  Salary-wise, he can be acquired via the minimum exception, and so no outgoing salary is needed, which makes him easy for any team to acquire.

Lakers loss + Magic win tonight would put LAL back into the 2nd slot.

Lakers play the Kings. Magic play the Mavericks.

Double win or double loss with Sac tonight.

We will need the Orlando to win against Dallas to have a safety net in case Lakers win.

bad night for the pick. the good news is it could be way worse.... the lakers didnt need to go on that 9 game losing streak but they did... things would be very different if they were actually a decent team, which they are not.


even if we lose the pick, kings 2019 are clearly going to be terrible

It’s okay the Magic lost.  Ultimately we just want the Lakers in the bottom 4, because it’s only one lotteries in 10 that we’d not get the pick of the Lakers finish 4th vs. 3rd.  That means we want the bottom four to separate themselves from the rest of the bad teams.  Dallas winning helps them create that separation.  People are getting greedy if they fret whether the Lakers finish 2nd or 3rd — we just want them to be bottom 4, and that’s likely good enough.
