Pray tell who is our backup point guard in the playoffs. Payne currently injured and CP3 might not be a reliable starter.

Beggars cannot be choosers unless you enjoyed watching the playoffs last season.

They are going to want something for him. I promise you they will not take pocket lint. So that means we are going to be having to give away draft picks and at least a good player that they will want. in other words they are going to be demanding a player like Bridges or Cam; and in that I am 100% against that. Life after CP3 is on the way and we have seen that we need a real point guard to run this team and that means someone like CP3 or Rubio. DLO is a shot first point guard who looks to his teams after. If we could get someone like Fox I would be going all in on unloading the draft capital and maybe Cam but we are not we are talking about a player who is an idiot.

A DLo trade is hard because of his high salary and he's a free agent. Would they be happy with Dario/Crowder/Shamet and a pick or something? I don't know although I'd lean no. And the other consideration is resigning him because he's going to be a free agent and I wouldn't want to have given up a pick and the opportunity cost of what Dario/Crowder/Shamet could net if not with DLo.

I'm very open to DLo, I think he brings the right amount of skills and youth to this team but there are real considerations around the give up and the financial commitment to him after.

I am fairly curious as to what the combination of those three could net us too that'd be better than Russell honestly considering their overall perceived value?? Could we get better value than Russell though?? And IF we don't move these expirings by the deadline, then we basically lose them as assets right? Maybe instead a Crowder/Shamet/Craig/Payne/ future lottery protected 1st/ 2nds for Russell? I'm just curious as to what other better value we could feasibly get for those combination of players in the next 22 or less hours? I guess we'll be finding out soon enough huh...lol :lol:

They need a C and Poelt is good enough.

Don't tell BW this. It'll break his heart to hear that Peotl is unavailable if that trade happens.

Maybe Toronto can reroute him to us for Ayton?

I don't want Poeltl and have been saying I have heard Toronto wants him for awhile now. This isn't news. Once again, I brought up Poeltl + whoever for Ayton as something I could see JJ doing...and SA being one of the few teams that would need a C and has tons of cap space...mostly young guys...I brought up deals like that, Bojan and one of their Cs because I could see Detroit and one other team I now can't even remember.

I'm the one of us that wants to keep Ayton.

We better be getting KD for expirings and a pick because Russell Vandy and Beasley for nothing is incredible.

Two shot creators and a mobile big

omg

TWO SHOT CREATORS AND A MOBILE BIG

OMFG.

I am flabbergasted LA could turn Westbrook and protected picks into DLo, Vanderbilt AND Beasley

I'm more afraid of the wolves now than I was an hour ago.

Good trade for the Lakers though, surprised Ainge sold that low on his guys.

I don't understand why teams continue to do favors for LA

You can’t make this up. I better not see a single James Jones defender after tomorrow unless he magically puts us in a much better position. I’ll reserve my judgement until the deadline but this is looking really bad for him.

Lakers got a haul Utah gave up a lot for next to nothing and Minnesota well they will be awful forever

Does anyone think is a bit of a reset in expected value of trades?

Post #2658 » by **bwgood77** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 1:33 am

It really doesn't make any sense that the Lakers got all the for a horrible contract and a first. We must have not offered a first for Vandy and Beasley or for DLo. I guess I understand that. If we were willing to deal a first for Vandy and Beasley but couldn't match salaries without adding Saric and/or Shamet and Jones/Monty balked at that I would not be very happy. Utah is getting massive cap relief so Saric would have had to go out along with Crowder and maybe more...possibly Craig. Shamet has another year so they may not have wanted that.

But to get those two guys AND DLo for only one pick doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The Lakers will be pretty good now. The west battle will be tough.

Not specifically defending Jones but just because a deal took place doesn't mean every other GM not involved took an L by default

Year after year we are holding our dicks in our hands every trade deadline come the **** on

Crowder is being bought out and we give a 2nd to Indiana for free FOR THE THIRD TIME calling it now

Initial thoughts on KD for Bridges, Cam, Crowder, plus picks?
