Well that is interesting. I just read an article on lakeshowlife that indicated he was invited to the summer league roster. Possibly click bait or misinformation.
He's on a 2 way contract with Memphis (this being his 2nd season of a 2 year deal).

Rob pulling L's since the trade deadline when we added Russ, Vandy and the others.

His L's for this summer date back to when he gave player options to Reddish and Hayes. The only way they would pick those up would be if they had bad seasons. So, of course they picked them up and used up the Lakers' available roster spots. For Wood, OK maybe that was needed as there was some competition to get him signed.

Not sure how he's pulling L's now though. Potential trade partners are asking for far too much in return and he has no roster spots for FA. If you think giving up the 2029 and 2031 1sts for Carter or Grant would be wise, an intervention may be necessary. Maybe you want to give 3 players with substantial roles (and their main trade chip salaries) for LaVine? These are the kind of deals that are available right now (that we know of).

Going to have such an epic meltdown if Rob trades salaries and 1 or 2 1st rounders for Grant.

I would only trade salaries and a 2nd or 2 for him since no other team seemingly wants him.

Portland wears it as a badge of honor that they've never traded with the Lakers. Continuing those talks is just pointless. Most trades that have been talked about this much in the media don't happen anyway.

31yo Moe Harkless (thought he was older than that, LOL) is trying to make a comeback by playing in summer league.
