 So PG is all but gone to LA but where does that put Ingram? He’s a 3 and way to small to play 4 and is George really a 2 guard?

[Scrooge McDuckParticipant]

They have Josh Hart, Kuzma, Tony Bryant to round out the bench.

The Paul George trade is far from a done deal. The celtics have the most to offer in a trade. It hinges on Hayward’s decision.

 

 

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Why not play Ingram at the 2 then George at the 3. Ingram’s length is a matchup nightmare for opposing 2’s.

[ChammesParticipant]

PG is going to LA and Boston probably won’t be able to keep him even if they get him and Ingram isn’t quick enough to guard 2s

 Ingram Sf on defense and SG on Offense

PG SF on offense and SG on Defense.

also

PG can spend time at pf also just not full time and has sometime at s.g in Indiana and wasn’t horrible and Ingram once he bulks up some more could play PF,SF,SG.PG in spurts….

So those are also options. ..

 lets not pencil pg13 in yet. I predict hell spend next year somewhere else and its no gaurantee he comes in 2018. If he does come, hell play sf and ingram will play sg.

in the meantime, pg-lonzo ball, sg-jordan clarkson, sf-brandon ingram, pf-julius randle, c-brook lopez

bench: josh hart, kyle kuzma, ivica zubaca, luol deng, thomas bryant, tarik black, corey brewer, 

then some free agent fill ins, particularly in the backourt where they need a backup pg and another spot up shooter to replace nick young/deangelo russell.

 Ingram isn’t quick enough to consistently play SG or strong enough to consistently play PF, even in small ball lineups. PG13 probably can play anything 2-4 and maybe even 5 for short stretches in a Warrior-esque super small lineup. 

I think the best case scenario would be in 2019-20 the Laker lineup looks something like this:

PG-Lonzo Ball

SG-Klay Thompson

SF-Paul George

PF-Julius Randle

C- Brook/Robin Lopez/Gortat/Even (Gasp!) Dwight Howard

6th man-Brandon Ingram

This is obviously HIGHLY speculative but no doubt something at least vaguely similar to this is the outline Magic and Rob Lowe–I mean Rob Pelinka–have in mind.

 Klay is not leaving arguably the best shooting team ever assembled to play in LA

[nill650Participant]

 PG13 would go back to playing the 2 

but he aint going to be  Laker this year with what Pacers are demanding

[mgreener_34Participant]

 George going to LA huh? I’ve literally heard that every big name in the NBA is going to the Lakers since like 2010, and only one of them has, Howard, and that was an absolute train wreck. In todays world, and the money that’s been thrown at players from contracts to endorsments, LA just isn’t the destinaton that it used to be, and people need to get off that. They have been a terribly run organization since the new regime took over, and I think Magic needs to get things back on track before tier 1 talent even considers LA right now. 

Lakers lineup will most likely be:

Lopez- Zubac

Randle- Nance

Ingram- Deng

Clarkson- Hart

Ball

 didnt make that clear, i think he can be traded to boston but unless they win a lot or he just likes it there, its up in the air.

[HitsterParticipant]

If PG13 did go there I could see him playing as a stretch 4 with Ingram at SF and Randle at C. Luke Walton was part of smallball line ups whilst on GSW staff so could go that way.

With all the talk of PG13 or Hayward as a target for Boston then one of them would need to potentially play PF there as the Celtics have Brown and Tatum at SF.
