[Buha] In the ultimate pie-in-the-sky scenario, the Lakers have interest in Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal if any of the three stars were to become available.



> As The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported earlier this week, the Lakers have had discussions for Detroit’s Bojan Bogdanovic, as well as the Knicks’ Evan Fournier and Cam Reddish.

> In addition, other names that have come up are DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Kuzma, Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, Kyrie Irving and Doug McDermott.

> All of these players fit the bill as either wings, bigs or stars.

    I have interest in Alexandra Daddario and Sydney Sweeney if one of them become available as well.

  2. Literal_Satan

    <insert comment about me being interested in an attractive celebrity here>

  3. compe_anansi

    If I’m the wizards I would dump beal for Westbrook straight up just to get out of that contract.

  4. PM-ME-UR-B00BYS

    I wonder if the Lakers front office or the Lakers fanbase are more delusional with these trade ideas

  5. AngsMcgyvr

    In the super ultimate pie-even-higher-in-the-sky scenario, the Lakers have interest in obtaining all three stars.

    They would be willing to part with Lonnie Walker to make this work, sources say

  6. fawkesmulder

    This sub acts like the Bradley beal contract is the worst contract of all time when it’s still a positive asset

  7. TheBoilerCat

    At this point, it would be legitimately insulting to watch the Lakers land someone like that. You do not deserve to run a team’s present and future into the ground like that and still have stars fall into your lap.

  8. TaviscaronLT

    I have interest in Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, and Aubrey Plaza.

  9. ihateeuge

    oh no the Lakers are interested in the best players in the league

  10. SliMShady55222

    Lakers just depend on other disgruntled stars making trade demands. If they didn’t have any desirable weather and real estate with attractive nightlife, they would be another shitty run organization.

  11. ArugulaTechnical5907

    They don’t have the assets to land any of those players.

  12. Theingloriousak2

    Never listen or post Buha

    He’s not an insider he’s a clown

  13. Mediocre-you-14

    Wow the lakers scouting team is top notch. They really did their homework to find some hidden gems such as Kevin Durant.

  14. AnotherDrZoidberg

    KD and Dame are absurd to even consider unless they’re trading ad or Bron.

    Beal is a little more realistic, but Washington has done everything to keep him there. Have to assume he’s asking out if they’re going to trade him.

  15. Davis, Lebrón, and Dame combo is quite lethal.

  16. Of this list of stars, I think they might actually be able to land McDermott.

    The 30 year old, 6’6, SF, former lottery pick, averaging 10.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.2 blocks, and 0.1 steals per game for the Spurs would also definitely vault them into league favorites.

    IF, and this is a big IF, they somehow land McDermott, I think it’s just a matter of keeping the Big 3 of Lebron, AD, and Doug healthy.

    “I am not interested in Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, or Bradley Beal.”

    – No NBA GM ever in the history of mankind

    Them and nearly everybody else. Good to see the brain trust of the lakers are still completely delusional.

  19. IMovedYourCheese

    What a pointless article. 30 teams have interest in one of these players if they were to become available. If a front office didn’t at least try to act on it they should be fired.

  20. asvpmvson

    i’m interested in trading richaun holmes for deandre ayton

  21. I feel like Buha only reports on the Lakers to make people hate Lakers fans. Dude posts some wild ass shit all the time.

  22. Kcreep997

    I wish we could get some real trade news instead of this bullshit.

  23. hotterpocketzz

    In other news, the front office is in their ass again

  24. bravof1ve

    This sub will say Bradley Beal has the worst contract in the league and say the Wizards are the most doomed team in the league for having in, and at the same time act like trading a couple of firsts and expiring contract for him would be unfathomable.

    Can’t have it both ways.

  25. packimop

    embarrassing someone would even report this.

  26. Swiggity53

    Blazers fans: “how many times do we have to teach you this less old man?”

  27. Young_Baby

    This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard which means it will definitely happen.

  28. MyLadySansa

    I personally would love to travel back in time and yank prime Jordan out of the 90s and add him to the current day Knicks, but, sadly….

  29. TechenCDN

    Lol dame has a better team than the lakers currently in Portland

  30. eugenesbluegenes

    So does that mean LeBron and AD are on the block?

  31. NotYourAverageWaffle

    Bruh why even say this out loud. It’s honestly embarrassing and down right lame.

  32. trelium06

    Worst part of being a Lakers fan is these constantly ludicrous headlines

  33. TechenCDN

    Lakers: hey guys we would like all the best players in the league please

  34. PJTikoko

    How?

    Like it’s been said to death but the Lakers barely have any trade assets, not enough to trade for any of them.

    So how are they going to make any of these hypothetical moves?

    The media’s brain is shot and instead of talking about the rest of the league which has been great their in a fantasy world were the Lakers can just acquire a bunch of all-stars somehow.

  35. LyndonLoins77

    The lakers just simply can’t keep it in their pants
