LA Representative LBJ making an appearance in the city tonight

The Lakers announced their schedule for the California Classic Summer League in San Francisco from July 6-10:

bucks may be looking to trade brook lopez, would be the perfect fit alongside AD

What is he worth?

Is he worth DLo?

I know Rui has gotten s*** but I think I'd rather have Rui than Lopez

I doubt they'd have interest in D Lo, probably a combo of Gabe + Rui. I'm fine with trading Rui in that scenario with Vando coming back healthy, Max getting more minutes, and Prince possibly coming back.

there's a reason why they trading Lopez, he is getting old.

Rui Hachimura just had the best season of his career at the age of 25. He shot 59.7 from 2's and 42.2 from 3's

We can trade him for old man Lopez but Idk if it's the right move.

this kid has more potential then Silva. Big 6'8 SG/SG with 6'10 wingspan. Athletic, can shoot 3s, can playmake and good on defense.

Still very good, one of the rare elite floor spacing shotblockers, played 78 and 79 games the last two seasons, contract expires soon.

and the report is theyre thinking of trading him because of scheme changes doc rivers wants to implement, nothing to do with his age or production

im a rui fan, i know he had a great season by his standards but he also played like s*** in the playoffs and looked absolutely lost on the court defensively. brook lopez is definitely way more of an impactful player than rui is even at his old age.

there's so many good options this year

I expect Sarr, Risacher, Shepard, Castle, Matas, Williams, Clingan, Salaun, Holland, Knecht, Carter

top go in top 11-

I dont like Carrington - too much like JHS - the duke center is like Castleton - below the rim player

options at 17-

C-
Ware- being compared to Jarret Allen
Yves Missi - another rim protector/ defense 7 footer. Both athletic, good wingspan, can board
Zach Edey- maybe the best player in college this past year. Elite size, great rebounder, can protect the rim. Slower and questions about his pick and roll defense. I think he is a better Zubac. Zubac has been a solid center for the Clippers. Edey would be a nice body to throw at joker

F-
Tristan da Silva - a Kuzma type. Reminds me of Jaime from last year. Could play as a rookie
Kyshawn George - has great potential. Can do a little bit of everything
Tyler Smith- over 7 foot wingspan , was 6'9 and not 7 foot at combine. Still has a lot of potential as an athletic stretch 4
Bobi Klintman - raw potential defensive stretch 4.
Pacome Dadiet - raw French man . Could be the next Batum

SG-
Cam Christie - very similar player to Max. His brother
Nikola Djurisic - really high on this kid, Elite 3ball and athlete. Has a great feel for the game. A baller compared to Bojan Bogdanovic
Jaylon Tyson - being compared to Desmond Bane- ready to play as a rookie
Johnny Furphy - I think he is a sleeper. Super athletic / can shoot 3s and cut. Defense potential is there
Terrance Shannon- would be a top 10 pick if it wasn't for the character concerns. Should be a solid starting SG in the league.
Jakoby Walter- another likely good starting SG. I think Shannon is more talented. Both would be great adds

PG-
Nikola Topic - would have been a top 10 pick but is injured. Could be a great steal
Isaiah Collier - a guy who can attack a defense off the dribble, this team could use another player who can penetrate
Rob Dillingham- another explosive player maker. I'm very high on both guys

of course they going say that, they dont want to ruin that trade value

It begins
