NBA Trade Talk 2021

[DJ]

Including Powell makes that deal pretty sweet.

They talk was Harrell, KCP, Shroeder, and THT for Lowry and Powell. The hypothetical trade would also have the Raptors giving up a 2nd rounder and the Lakers trading away a 2027 1st.

Thats insane.

Damian Jones is looking promising as a backup C so I trade Harrell no problem, especially since we have a real shot at Drummond once he is bought out.

Which is really my point. Maybe Lowry really does want to go to the Lakers but there is no real information to support that out in public.



But you would be giving up 4 players that are putting in significant minutes right now to bring back one while you are also missing AD and Lebron.
Lowry is a great to piece to have but he isn't at a point in his career where he can carry a team to wins with a depleted roster. Do you really think that Lakers would be better without KCP, Shroeder, Harrell and THT but with Lowry?

Based on what the article suggested, the Lakers would be getting Powell as well. Then they'd still need to pick up a big on the buyout market, but they need to do that anyway.

 

[The Q]

Why would the lakers being getting the best 2 players in the deal? Makes no sense.

When did these people talking about this put down the crack pipe lol

I still don't think it'll happen.

But this article indicates that the Raptors are willing to work with Lowry on where he goes. That would tend to mean they may take a lesser offer to send him where he wants to go. The article doesn't say if he wants to go to the Lakers or not.

The article proposes a few possibilities with the biggest deal being Schroder, Harrell, THT and KCP for Lowry, Norman Powell and a 2nd round pick. Apparently, the Raptors are also looking to move Powell, so they "kill 2 birds with one stone" doing that.

The Best Trade Offer Lakers Must Make For Kyle Lowry

Kyle Lowry to the Lakers? It's certainly a possibility.

I'm not buying the whole "Raptors are willing to work with Lowry on where he goes" stuff. At best Masai might be like "ok, I have two offers from these two teams that I'd accept, you can choose which." If he says neither and gets pissy Masai would have no problem just pulling the trigger and getting what's best for the team.

People seem to forget Masai basically lied to Derozen and sent his ass packing the second Kawhi was there for the taking. He doesn't give a rat's ass about his commodity's feelings, he wants to be successful at all costs.

Boston close to a deal to get Fournier for 2 2nd rounders.

cant complain about that.

writers were trying to give nesmith away. Made no sense

Windy said Lakers may need to offer KCP, Schroder and Matthews for just Lowry.

that sounds mire realistic. Powell has real value on his own. I would’ve preferred him to Fournier.
