[Wojnarowski] Lakers Trying To Acquire Trevor Ariza As Part Of Three Team Deal

This is ridiculous. Probably get him for scraps.

[Rob Diaz]

Nobody would care about this if LeBron wasn't involved.

Who cares?

The Raptors have role players. They need a 2nd option.

Our bench is 19th in efficiency and 27th in 3pt shooting.

Sure, but bench play is largely irrelevant in the playoffs. Raptors had the best bench in the league last year and got embarrassed in the playoffs for the millionth time.

Their trade assets need to be used on a 2nd star.

If Masai is looking to make a move soon, below the radar, then that's better than having it all played out in rumors like this ahead of time. But I just hope he isn't waiting till the trade deadline, "evaluating", before making a move, or worse not planning any move because we have the best record

I would package Lowry + OG for the best starting point guard we can get.

[Crimsonite]

Would Phoenix be interested in Lowry? I mean, they said they need a playing making guard don’t they?

[Brinbe]

Lakers are doing what any team with a superstar should be doing. Masai needs to get going. Don't be married to any of these guys, except maybe Pascal.

Next season I could see a deal where Masai trades Lowry to them. I could see them making stupid moves out of desperation to win-now. They'll probably strike out on all notable FAs and the owner will probably force them to make a move for an established PG. 34-year old all-star PG who averaged ~10 assists per game on an expiring deal might sound good to them.

Why aren’t we moving in on the Phoenix fire sale?

i mean they suck because their players are pretty awful

Put Kawhi on that team. How much would they suck then?

exactly. We need a game changer. Ariza is not going to fix the lack of a real 2nd option on this team or the lack of a rebounder.
