Also, OG ruled out in advance for tomorrow's game.

They blowing it the fuck up.

Get Russ and a first for those guys.

Then try to get a shooter for another first and maybe a young guy like Max Christie (although I would prefer the Lakers to keep him)

I think if he trades one in that deal then they just keep the other 1st. Try to give Beverly + young player and 2nd's for an upgrade or maybe go after Reddish idk

Taking RW requires a 1st. The other 1st and maybe a 2nd for the players back.

And that's exactly why Pelinka hasn't pulled the trigger yet.

Is it worth giving up two 1sts to get rid of Russ, when his contract expires in like 5 months? The only reason he would do that is if the returning players would make the Lakers a contender.

No point giving up your future for a probable first round exit

If we break down by parts I can see why Utah wants both 1st's.

Like you said, taking Russ requires a 1st.
Conley isn't worth a 1st.
Vanderbilt and Beasley you could say is worth a 1st.

Maybe instead of a 1st they can include Reaves or Christie but I am sure Ainge won't budge much.

Especially if the Lakers can get in on the carnage...

Each could be worth some kind of first plus eating Russ

It fixed the lakers the depth they need. And it’s a more efficient use of Russ’s contract than expiring and using cap space.

Or the greatest franchise in NBA history that’s just down the road

Sure thing, Ja

Acting like an asshole tends to make enemies

Weird that way

About 48 hours away.

Home and watching NBA Today. I record it.

Makes much more sense to trade KD this summer.....unless he were to come out and say trade me now. Even then, the Nets wouldn't have to.

Until what, the all-you-can-eat buffet let's you back in?

The Rochester Royals? (now Sac Kings)

Trivia time: Cam's 2nd youngest player to ever score at least 40 pts in back to back games.

Behind who?

@shopson67 and everybody else.

He's not taking $30M towards next year's tax bill for Lowry.
