From Portland, all insiders say Rob Williams won’t be sold for less than a FRP coming back.

Lakers and Blazers have had previous front court player discussions this summer. What might the Lakers be willing to offer?

Too Injury prone

He's been pretty healthy all season, Blazers have been conservative with him. They've also been staggering his PT with Clingan all year.

And per report, just because you think that, clearly doesn't mean the Lakers FO does if they're showing serious interest.

I know my man. It's trade season Lakers talking to everyone especially when It comes to BIGS. Now that I'm home I'll do a better reply.

Now Lakers not trading anyone In their starting 5, "Rui starting by the default". So who off the bench you'd like along with srp's?

*** Blazers want multiple 2nd round pics included In a trade so assuming you're just trading RB3 and no one else here are some trades

Also take note; Lakers will not trade Knecht In this deal, DFS,Milton can't be traded either.

Highly unlikly Lakers willing to trade Vando esp since he just came back and us fans love him.

So this leaves you with; Rui, Gabe, JHS, Wood (injured), Cam and our 2way players In Trey, Armel, Koloko - might be missing someone? and don't say Bronny (Edit not sure If you can trade two way players?)

1. RB3 for Rui and at least 2 srp's works

2. RB3 for Gabe, Cam and 2 srp's works

Now you can include Gabe with any other lower contracts of; JHS, Wood, Hayes, Cam etc etc.

So who you want LOL. Laker nation a mixed bag with Rui, some want him, some want him gone etc.

Blazers FO according to insiders here in Portland have said that the GM Cronin has made it clear they aren't moving Williams for a collection of second rounders. They want at minimum a first rounder or they'll just as soon keep him because they love what he brings to the lockerroom.

Personally, I don't see the Lakers going as high as a first rounder for Robert Williams. The only team of the group of teams mentioned in that rumor who makes sense imo is Houston because they have easy to match contracts and a truck load of FRPs to the point where they can unload one and still be fine. Lakers and Denver are a little leveraged on future FRPs to where I can see them being more skittish to add those in.

ahh all good then It's a no from Lakers side of things... IMO. I was reading online at work and seeing stuff that Blazers only asking for Srp's ... But If it's for a first, I don't see It happening.

Not what we're hearing here locally.

Lakers might just get desperate In the end, who knows ... But If Lakers aren't willing to trade 2 frp's for a 23 year old defensive big In Kessler then I don't see them trading 1 frp for an Injury prone player, yes I know you said his not Injured this season, but I don't see Lakers doing It for a frp. But who knows we'll find out In 10days or what ever It Is

Not sure how reputable ClutchPoints is, but they're claiming Lakers want Miles Turner and Portland would be a third team with Robert Williams and the better Lakers first going to Pacers, Rui and one of the Lakers firsts going to Portland.

Again, no idea on credibility here.

I'd be ok with this, Turner only 28 ... I mean I want Kessler because of 23age, but Turner Is the next one on the block. If Lakers do this, they're all In. I much prefer this then a rebuild as some here want. But that's just me got to risk It to get the biscuit.

RW3 would be a solid backup to AD and a major upgrade from Hayes. But his injury history is very concerning. If "pretty healthy this season" is playing just 17 of 47 games. I dont think FO would offer a FRP, but if the market dries out i think a protected 1st should at least be considered.

Do you think Portland and LA would trade with each other?

Anthony Irwin is somewhat credible although he is a die-hard laker fan, which can cloud his vision (in my opinion). To me most of the buzz surrounding Myles is purely speculative based on whether or not Indy wants to pay him beyond this summer. That may be real though and could result in him being moved, but Indy isn't saying he's on the trading block.

Well they better not offer a FRP for some crap that averages 5.8 points a game....I can tell you that. Getting paid $12 large?!?! And at 6'9" and playing center, I can see why Portland is enjoying a .38 winning percentage this season.

What will they give us to take that 12mil contract off their hands? That's the real question. I'll do it for 2 second round picks.
