To Ms. Buss. If you want another title, call me.
The highest level of basketball I ever played at was the Catholic Schools League in Hawaii. A phenomenal league filled with the best players in the state of Hawaii. Well the best players on Oahu. More like the best players on Oahu who attended Catholic middle schools. However I was a dominating force. Averaging 1.0 point per game, 3 rebounds and a solid 0 assists. Thus I am best qualified to lead the struggling Los Angeles Lakers back to the promise land.
First move as GM. I’m grabbing a coffee and a raisin snail because its gonna be a long day. Second move. I’m trading Anthony Davis. He is a top 5 player when healthy. Only issue is that he’s never healthy. In LA, AD gets hurt constantly, out bodied on the boards and takes up too much cap to keep.
Who am I trading for? If all sides agree, I’m trading Anthony Davis to Sacramento and Talen Horton Tucker to the Knicks for Domantas Sabonis, Harrison Barnes and Kemba Walker.
In free agency, I’m going after JyMichal Green and Hassan Whiteside if they hit the market. Keeping an eye on Deandre Ayton because if he becomes available, he becomes target number 1.
Then I’m taking every first round pick I have, Russ Westbrook and Kent Bazemore and sending them to Portland for Damien Lillard. This is only dependent of Lillard forcing his way out of Portland.
If he doesn’t, I bite the bullet and let Russ play out his final year on his deal. Finish off by acquiring Shake Milton, PJ Tucker and resigning Carmelo Anthony.
Then I’m firing Frank Vogel. Its just not working out anymore. Of course, I would go through the hiring process but I got my eye on Sam Cassell. A veteran voice who knows how to win, his experience with multiple basketball philosophies should prove successful for the franchise.
In an ideal world, the lineup would look like this.
PG: Damian Lillard
SG: Domantas Sabonis
SF: LeBron James
PF: JyMichal Green
C: Deandre Ayton
Rotation: Shake Milton, PJ Tucker, Harrison Barnes, Carmelo Anthony
Those are my thoughts. Can’t be any worse than right now right….please give me a job.
