As I have done some more checking I would actually do a Deng/Hart  trade.  He is a young 3-D guy who could take for Baz as we look to move him.  He averaged almost 25 points a game over the last four games of the season.  

How would the Lakers clear cap space if they took Baze back?

Brandon Ingram or no deal.

Then it won’t be a deal ... they are not going to trade Ingram to get rid of Deng.

Plot twist...He gets traded to Atlanta.

With the way Love avoids playing D you might have a point.

I wasn’t saying to send Baz back ... I was inferring that we would be trying to trade him elsewhere

Yeah I know :( They’d better give us a young player who can help us win though. Their draft picks are now worthless.

After watching some of his highlights ... I actually want Josh Hart now ... Deng and Hart for a protected 2nd

He’d fit right in here in Atlanta. We could score 120 a night but give up 140.

I think Josh Hart would flourish here and would be good next to Young with his ability to defend and hit the three

[Marvin24Williams]

Other than Ingram I see no reason to help the Lakers get Kawhi. Their draft picks are going to be worthless

Now that’d be worth it. Young 3 and D wing. He could help us win in the future.

What's so special about Josh Hart?

Excellent D, gives 110% on both sides of the court, willing learner, can handle the ball, can hit the three and a good slasher, high bbiq and a great attitude  

it would answer a huge need for us

His numbers are weaker than Bazemore's numbers

He is a rookie just learning to play ... his last month of the season when he finally got some PT he kicked a$$.  He is an up and coming underrated player.

What about Kuzma ? They can’t keep all of those forwards.

I am good with that

Are you guys sure that LA has to trade Deng at all?

[JayBirdHawk]

1st and a young player for Deng, otherwise they can kick rocks.

Not necessarily but they will need to add more player to compete with Golden state
