What she said?

“I’m going to go back and reevaluate whether I’m able to continue to play at the level that I hold myself to,” Parker said. “And I think that’s the biggest thing; I don’t ever want to cheat the game. I won’t cheat the game.

“So when I’m not able to go out and play and be the Candace that I want to be, I won’t play. And I think that comes in the offseason.”

Yeah wouldn't read much into it yet. Sounds like frustration from the game last night.

Sweet.

He’d be better off on the pelicans now lol


I love the irony

You can’t play that game though.

They wouldn’t have most of the pieces that are there now without trading AD.

@Mamba @The Q

@Retroram52 probably has it right.

The Lakers are clearly not serious about getting a deal done.

They are not budging on the picks.

“From my understanding, Utah would be open to various amount of structures, of salaries, that meet Russell Westbrook’s salary coming back — so long as they get those two picks. Again, haven’t heard the Lakers have been willing to put those two picks on the board. I have heard — I don’t know if this has been offered — but there’s at least been some type of flirtation or internal meeting on the Lakers’ side of putting a pick swap into the deal as well. So it’s a little more than first; doesn’t sound like it’s enough, though, from the Utah side of things.”

@Mamba

I'm trying to find the audio for this to verify this is actually what he said.

Jones covers the Jazz for the Athletic.

Tony Jones on ESPN700] "I don't think the Jazz are close to anything right now. They've been talking to the Lakers. They made an offer to the Lakers, the Lakers made a counter offer to the Jazz. Those 2 offers were far apart"
