    we can do better with that 1st than to just throw it away in this Ariza scenario....if we dont want the 1st rd money on the cap, you can always trade it away for future 1st/2nd's or if we're far back enough in the standings (say picks in the 25 or later) then just find the best euro prospect you can find and have him stay over seas for a yr or 2.

    Boy having all these guys that can defend the wings and guards going to be key for us against the Golden States and OKC's of the world...

    Lonzo, Hart, Ingram, Ariza, and Kuzma (he's improved)...that's a lot of help for LeBron defensively which he didn't have in Cleveland (they had RICHARD JEFFERSON guarding KD in the 2017 finals!)

    I would love to have all these guys to switch on D against the Warriors...

    great, still hoping we dont give up a 1st but if we do I hope we getting more than Ariza, I think we'll get some signs of it happening as we get closer to the 15th if we dont see KCP play anymore lol

    We hording 1sts for AD...no way in hell we dealing it for an expiring Ariza.

    Also, for those wondering, an unsigned 1st and 2nd rounder this next summer and how it pertains as cap holds will not negatively impact a max slot. So we don't have to deal our picks to create cap space for a max player this coming summer.



    Phx is supposedly not interested in Fultz either.



    Im not sure it will be this big of a trade but:

    LA: Ariza
    Phx: Rozier, KCP, LA 2nd (swap rights), Wanamaker
    Cbags: Milwaukee 1st via Suns, Zu, Crawford

    Anonymous NBA executives say Lakers trade for Trevor Ariza ‘going to happen’
    The Lakers might be getting some wing help from a familiar source, as Trevor Ariza might be coming back to L.A.
    “I’ll tell you what, though, okay: In regards to Trevor Ariza going to the Lakers, I’ve had a handful of NBA executives tell me they’ve heard that’s going to happen. It’s done, it’s just a matter of everything else, like figuring out what the rest of that deal is.

    Welcome home ,Trevor

    I hear Phil is now interested in coming back to coach, but he wants Luke to suit up once again, since he knows the triangle and is one of Phil's favorite "high BBQ" players. Seeing all this, Kobe announces that he is going for #6 with his bros LeBron, Luke and Ariza. Veteran's minimum, of course.

    Shaq weighs over 400lbs and is unable to join. :ShaqOh2:

    So the same logic didn't apply to the other 3 sets of back2backs you had this season when you played him all 6 nights?

    Come'n Igor, we need a better Ariza-n. (Yeah I know, I used the same pun already and I plagerized @DoMinJoon in doing so ...I'm getting lazy...my bad).

    I want some AD rumors (would like Giannis ones even more but unfortunately MIL is balling :(). I like Trev a lot but this is a lateral move, def. not game changing.

    Oh, that's an ox hard no from me then.

    At this stage in his career, I'm not even sure ariza is s big upgrade on kcp, tbh. Intangibles I guess, tho.

    Well luckily we only play 1 game between now and Saturday (12/15) with a game also on that day. If this is true, all eyes will be on KCP and what Luke does with this this Thursday when we play @HOU. We're gonna be short handed to say the least against them if KCP doesn't play (Rondo, BI, & KCP). Then by game time on Saturday if all this is true I would imagine the news of the trade has already come down and the players are getting ready to fly to their new cities.

    Not game changing, but definitely improves our perimeter defense on a team that has vastly improved their defense over the last month. Did we really expect an aging Chandler to really boost our defense from the bench that much? Ariza had a solid impact last year starting in the playoffs against the Warriors, and he still has a bit left in the tank, especially in what will probably be a bench role.

    Rondo
    Hart
    Ariza
    Chandler

    coming off the bench for us with Lebron/Lonzo/Kuz/BI dashed in there.

    Side note - I highly doubt we'd be giving up a 1st for Ariza. Based on our draft history and other trades, 1st rounders are a premium nowadays. Will probably involve our 2nd, and another team to get Phoenix what they need.
