Who do you predict will be the 3rd star on the Lakers?

[ozgod]

The Lakers will target Kemba Walker in free agency this summer after reaching an agreement to trade for Anthony Davis, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.

Stein reports Walker is Los Angeles' "top" target after its recent roster moves. The Pelicans and Lakers reportedly agreed to the Davis trade on Saturday, sending Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-round picks to New Orleans, including the No. 4 pick in the 2019 draft.

Then I'd guess Kyrie and Butler to the Nets?

I'm thinking Jimmy and Kemba stay. Kyrie to Brooklyn possibly with Tobias Harris.

I think Tobias would be the type of second tier star that Kyrie would like to play with. The type of player who won't steal the limelight from him but who can contribute and ease the load. The type of player he probably hoped Hayward would be, except Hayward got injured.

I think Buckets and Kemba probably stay, though I think Kyrie would be able to play with Buckets as well, he's a star but not a superstar that would crowd him. I really, really think that Kyrie wants his own team. I think he felt he had that in year 1 but then he got injured, the young guys got to the ECF without him and he kind of lost his moral authority over them.

Assuming the Lakers add Davis - which seems inevitable, they'll still have cap space to go out and add a 3rd star to pair with leBron and Davis.  Who we guessing?  Jimmy Butler?  Kemba Walker?  Someone else?

KYRIE IRVING

I don't know who else can they find that is injured often?

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Who cares. It's the frickin Lakers.

Someone anti-climatic that won't actually fit the team, like Butler or Tobias Harris.

Maybe they reunite Boogie and AD, lol.

Kyrie makes the most sense, but even Butler and Walker will make them favourite.
With Warriors out of the picture, bar any injury, the trophy is for the lakers to pick

Honestly they need less of a third star and way more of an actual competent roster right now.

You mean teams actually need guards and more than one competent defender?

Granted, their one competent defender is elite.

Probably Butler which is good for us. Weakens Philly.

Nothing that gives the Lakers a shot at a title is good for us. I rather see Philly win the next 10 titles than see the Lakers win one and tie our 17.

I don't think they will get Davis, so...

But LarBird said it was inevitable so you just have to accept it

Egg on my face

Our faces. I can't believe I now have to say LarBrd was right

I'd love to see LAL get Brogdon and Beverley over a 3rd star. Those guys would be awesome playing off of LeBron and AD.

Fix that backcourt defense. Address lack of perimeter shooting.

Wrote a lengthy response and then got “refreshed” somehow and lost a beautiful post. 

So I’ll just say — agreed.
