Why would we want Lowry? I mean maybe a few years ago but he's looking a little washed this season. Not sure he has much left.

I would want him... not sure I'm giving them a pick for him though... they aren't swappable in our trade with Memphis imo.

Maybe they flip him to Detroit and take that pick plus the crappy contracts... if they save a bit on the difference between Gasol and JV maybe the salary next year ain't that bad.

Blake and Kyle can be super pissed off together in Detroit together.

Agreed, you would have to have no brain to make that trade.

Every GM in the NBA would make that trade. Kuzma is worth more than 2 late 1st rounders. It's not even close. Go to your little other forums and ask. Would you give up two picks in the 20's for Kyle Kuzma? Every GM does that deal.

Pels should take that tbh.
 
Toronto is better than Utah and if they dump Lowry and he falls into Utah it looks like scraps and Toronto looks bold and aggressive in getting Conley/Gasol to go with Leonard/Siakam,and Green.
Lowry isn't going to make Utah better by coming to the western Conference.
Utah better see if the embers are still warm in Washington for Otto Porter

Nah... Lakers will add another pick... there is a lot of volume there, but nothing hard and fast that gets you excited.

Pelicans haven't even countered... just said "nah we'd want more". Lakers are trying to get them to throw out the mega offer so they can say "that's way too much... we accept and where do we sign".

2 first round picks is what it takes to start the talks on getting an All-Star. You don't trade two 1st for a borderline starter.

Cy, I'm pretty sure you are smarter than that.

"2 first round picks" can have value all over the place. 2 first round picks from Houston are completely different than 2 first round picks from Dallas which are completely different than 2 first round picks from Atlanta. You couldn't use 2 first round picks of ours to get one from Atlanta or NY or Phoenix.

2 first round picks for Kyle Kuzma is brilliant because it keeps the rest of the team intact for 3 years. Mitchell and Kuzma would make a combined $20 million over the next 3 years. There is a ton of value in that. Oh, and he probably stays long term.

Sounds like the Lakers told the Pels to shove it after their most recent offer.

Ha... they said we are out this... next tweet by Woj was... they are out but this is a negotiating tactic... basically they are out... unless Pelicans want them back in.

NO is doing awesome by ignoring LA... it's clearly driving them crazy. They can do more... and they will.

That is a monster offer. Keep what they want, flip what they don't.
I imagine this gets done.

Hart is fine... Zubac is in the last year of his deal. Flip Zubac for Wagner and add another first.

Remember NO didn't initiate this process... the Lakers did through AD's agent. NO always wanted to wait... Lakers are not justified in being pissed here. They. Didn't. Want. To. Trade. Him.

So Lakers can add more to the pile.
