Create a realistic offseason scenerario to push the Lakers into the playoffs

[navy]

1) You cannot injure another player. Assume all current playoff teams stay the same. If they change explain why. (Lakers sign Marc Gasol)
2) Cap restrictions apply
3) You can give the Lakers the number 1 pick
4) Realistic trades only. Although, seeing how the Lakers fleece people yearly....

[Cocaine80s]

Dragic
Kobe
Insert SF
Randle
Okafor

"Create a realistic..."

Damn, you've got me stumped.

[navy]

Dragic
Kobe
Insert SF
Randle
Okafor
Who are they knocking off?

[RightToCensor]

Kobe isn't playing 30 games next season, that team ain't doing shit without him.

[FKAri]

Marc Gasol decides money isn't everything and wants to live the life of a pauper. Signs with the Lakers for the mininimum so he can do philanthropy based out of L.A.

[Milbuck]

They have next to no realistic shot. Fvck the playoffs. Draft Towns or Russell this year, tank another year and go for Ben Simmons.

[dubeta]

Trade Kobe.

[coin24]

There's no great FA even available..

Best case draft one of the bigs, healthy randle, maybe keep Clarkson Davis Ellington black and wes.. Fingers crossed healthy kobe
I guess if no one else, make a run at love or rondo but not at max..

GOATbrook the year after perhaps:lol

One the rare kids these days that looks like he could play in the NBA right out of high school.

The size, athleticism, passing, jumper, and handle. He's got the whole package it seems.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Trade clarkson randle and top 5 pick for time machine and go back 5 years

[outbreak]

Kobe retires.

They then pick up Dragic and Gasol. They then land the first pick in the draft and trade it for some more veteran help.

Still not realistic but it's the only thing I can come up with. I think they should just stay the course and suck next year and take another good draft pick.

[Eric Cartman]

Draft Mudiay, sign Monroe.

That's it.

[Genaro]

Sign Kawhi, Spurs don't match, draft Towns he comes very good out of the gate. Sign a good bench with the rest of the cap.

Clarkson
Kobe
Leonard
Randle
Towns

Ok, I wasn't too realistic.

[Spurs m8]

lol kobe.

You're ****ed with him and ****ed without him :confusedshrug:

Our pick is protected for 1-3 selections in 16 and 17, not a great idea. And yes, we have a chance to make the playoffs next year, no more than 5%, we can make it happen.

[305Baller]

Spurs change their name to "The Lakers".
