Aloha,
just a thought on how the Lakers could
improve without Kyrie on 2 moves. To many if’s to happen but there would be some logic to it. I’ve posted before about OG Anunoby and how would love to have this 24 year old two way SF on the Lakers. But here comes the if’s.
If the Raptors pivot from KD trade, likely. And if they fail to land a center they like, unlikely, then there could be a deal with the Lakers. First the Raptors have tried to land THT twice. 2nd they have forwards galore but are thin in the back court. 3.rd OG is unhappy with his role and wants to be traded. A THT and Nunn for OG would give the Raptors a quality back up point guard and a secondary ball handler in THT. I would spend a 1st rounder for a 24 year old with still a lot of upside over a has been like Gordon.
Next move is a little more cut and dried. Russ and a pick to the Pacers for Buddy and TJ Mc Connell. This is simple, the Pacers save 20 mil on future salaries and pick up a pick instead of paying to move them.
I would argue that OG, TJ and Buddy would give us a better team then Kyrie, without the migraines. Probably won’t happen. Although I’m sure Rob has called the Raptors. One never knows.

I think it’s safe to assume that either Rob has his wings clipped and Jeannie won’t sign off in including them or he has called and they’re not too alluring. More will become clear on 8/4.
