3pm is an almost arbitrary time. Teams can make deals after the deadline if they inform the NBA they're negotiating.

Lou does his best shooting at the strip bars and will love Atlanta's famous venues.

To be fair, Lewenberg knows nothing...

Lowry ain’t getting traded. These things never happen last minute. Trade is dead.

True. But the Raps have also been adamant that theyre not just gonna give him away. If the Lakers are one of the teams negotiating and THT isnt on the table, thats basically giving him away

He's going to get traded, folks

That's still good enough for the West at least, with a lot of question marks in Denver...

Drummond does nothing to help the team's lack of playmaking and shooting that's resulted in a 17th ranked offense. Lowry is the perfect addition and more importantly he's a leader in a way that Drummond could never even fathom being.

AD's been out all season... Drummond takes more of the C load and frees AD to work his natural position more... That alone will improve the offense dramatically... They also will both improve our rim protection dramatically, which is actually where we've been getting beat.

They keep telling us laker fans how Drummond wont help. I wonder who they are trying to convince, lol

All i can think about is the rebounding battle with AD, Drummond and Bron in the front court

No it's not. The Lakers have the clear #1 defense in spite of Gasol missing significant time, LeBron missing a few games, and Davis missing half the season. Moreover, as a Cavs fan who's watched every game I can tell you that Drummond is not a rim protector and it's crazy to suggest he's one.

Again, a team with LeBron James having a 17th ranked offense, even with Davis only playing half the season, is just atrocious. You give yourself the best chance to win a title by surrounding LeBron and AD with floor spacers so that Davis can operate in single coverage and so that LeBron can effectively drive and kick. Putting out a lineup of 31% 3P shooter Dennis Schroder, KCP who hasn't been able to hit the side of a barn for months, and Drummond who plants himself firmly in the paint, while neither LeBron nor Davis is an above-average catch and shoot 3 point guy, is a total disaster for the playoffs. Teams like Brooklyn and LAC are literally gonna double up the Lakers in 3 point makes and it's impossible to overcome that kind of math 4 out of 7 times in a series.

My guess is there's some sort of reputation aspect as well.

Like you aren't going to just give away Lowry to a contender, because then you're marked as the that will just cave. You lose leverage in future deals.

If people know you're going to ask for assets and not balk at it...

Rather have some pride and not give him away for nothing. Dont be the organization that gets taken advantage of like that
