My perfect offseason #1:
Extend/Stretch Deng
Sign PG/LeBron/Randle (15M/yr)
Draft Pick #25 - Mitchell Robinson or Kevin Huerter or Jerome Robinson or Gary Trent Jr
As far as Trades, I'd trade for a pure shooter or rim protector. We need both even more than we need a backup PG. I don't see LeBron and Lonzo off the court at the same time for very long or at all unless Lonzo is injured. If we can't find a good fit, stand pat and see how things develop during the season.
If we could sign JJ Redick, he'd be almost the perfect SG. I still think Doug McDermott would be a valuable player in this offense off the bench.
Ingram will be an issue. If he's committed to becoming a dominant on-ball scorer, that's not going to happen with LeBron/PG as the best 2 players...
Perfect offseason #2:
Extend/Stretch Deng
Sign PG/Capela
Trade for Kawhi
Same Draft as above.
Perfect offseason #3
Extend/Stretch Deng
Sign PG/Randle
Trade for Karl-Anthony Towns
Same Draft as above.
#1 - Lonzo/PG/LeBron/Kuzma/Randle
#2 - Lonzo/PG/Kawhi/???/Capela
#3 - Lonzo/???/PG/Randle/KAT
I think the consistent theme is add PG13 and another star. Hopefully, that star is LeBron in Free Agency but if we have to trade for the 2nd star, so be it. For the right player, I'd trade Lonzo and start Hart or Ingram at the 1 in a heartbeat.
Perfect offseason for me is the Lakers doing what it takes to put together a team that makes sense both within Luke's Offense and Defense while opening a legit 3-4 year window for contention. I don't care about 5 years from now. Waiting doesn't guarantee that and we don't have a legit Franchise player to build around so our "Process" should reach it's climax now or next offseason at the latest.
We aren't the Warriors nor is the Warriors Path the most common or only path we could take. We have suffered long enough...time to move forward.
