Young has torn his ACL, too.

I´d rather have Saric than Young to be honest. I think he´s criminally underrated as a player and especially playmaker. Also seems to step it up in the play-offs, when called upon. Last three play-off appearances he raised his shooting levels for Efes in Europe, Philly and Phoenix to splits of

50/40/94
42/39/85
47/44/93

So anti-Kleberish.

I don't ever remember Thad Young tearing his ACL. When did that occur?  Anyway, I'd rather have Young. He's a proven vet and a great locker room guy. It's a shame Pop never really played him after the trade.

I think somewhere around 2015 in Philly.  

I´m just saying that a clean ACL tear is really not as much of a concern anymore in modern sports medicine, unless you are 7´3 and chronically injured.

Achilles and structural/deterioration knee damage would concern me for a basketball player. A clean ACL tear, outside of the 6-9 months recovery time, not so much. Lavine had the same injury and still looks like he could win a dunk contest. Make that an Achilles and he probably jumps as high as Boban.

It's too bad he can't fit in our TPE.

Who'd we pick that year?

I am lost. Ross hasn´t been good for years. I get that THT isn´t a good fit on the Lakers but at least he is young. Ross is mediocre and old. Playing like this years version of THJ.

Man, if they get a young prospect (negative value or not) AND a mid 1st round pick for Ross, they´ll have no reasonable expectations for Harris, Bamba (or Isaac).

not Tyrese Maxey, Desmond Bane, or Saddiq Bey

I wonder how heavily protected that first is?  Lakers are going to need that FRP to get off of Westbrook in the offseason.

I'm just joshing everyone.

Funny to think that a Lakers lottery protection could easily come into play this season.

I dunno, sounds like he's already a Laker to me...

Future Lakers' picks are pretty darned attractive.

Could you imagine 2027 draft rolls around and the Lakers are the worst team in the league because Anthony Davis missed 100 out of 82 games that year and they don't have your draft pick because you mortgaged your future for....Terrance Ross????

The cherry on top is that THT is going to turn it around once he gets out of that mess.

Now that Sabonis is out of reach. Horrible horrible news. I cant take this in at the moment.

How about KP for Zion Williamson? Zion at his peak is 10x the player. We gamble with KP anyway. So if we gamble, why not gamble for real? Zion will be back at his peak is my guess. Especially with change of environment.

DFW Whataburger's and Chicken E's wouldn't be able to keep up their supplies with Luka and Zion in town.
