Okafor trade talk: Will he be traded by the deadline?

Kobblehead · Post #381 » by **Kobblehead** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:53 am

Deal will probably be finalized tomorrow morning. The way Brown was so candid makes me think the handshake agreement was already made.

why would the Lakers ever remove the protection off that pick? That's not happening without them getting more than just Jah back.. I'd say the same for Russell but perhaps he is enough of a twatlord in the lockeroom or something but even then....

Mitch reached out like he does to every team.

The only member of our young core you could even get is Jordan Clarkson. You would have to remove the protection on the pick in exchange for a young experienced guard.

Thanks for the update, Mr. Buss. How's Kobe doing these days?

Anyone going off the guy with under 400 followers that is saying its a Laker deal will be disappointed to find out that a non credible source is almost always just that.

A ton of talk about him being a 20+ppg scorer before the season from them and his 3 point % isn't as good as they expected. But I doubt it. If there is any shot to get him, we'd probably have to take Mozgov's contract back.

only thing is that nobody form the lakers would ever do that.

Mitch wouldn't, but he's got the unstable Buss siblings and an out of touch Magic Johnson in his ear now. Anything is possible.

Please happen.

We'll have to see what the offers are. I'm not even sure who calls the shots for the lakers right now. Is it Mitch, Buss, or Johnson?

Well, I just did say I doubt the Lakers would do that deal in the very next sentence, no?

Doubt it the Lakers. NO or Chi are the most likely, but what do we know? Lol

Mitch is the GM, he's makes the final call.

Clarkson and pick protection removal for Okafor and maybe Covington.

Guy had 3 followers when he said it. But if you are on twitter just searching Okafor, it will keep popping up once in a while as people just trust a guy with RandomDudeName.nba I guess?

most trades aren't known until they happen and they tend to be **** never even thought of.
