lol FML

 

I don't have a problem with bringing pat in, it's giving up on THT that pisses me off. I don't believe for a second that beverley is all he's worth

 

What the hell happened to being patient? This reeks of desperation.

 

it has to be a precursor to a russ trade because there's no way those two will play together and i really hope rob isn't this clueless

 

We have to look at this f*** who literally looks like he slept in one of those green mulch and grass clipping bins the city gives you. That's what we got. Trash bin Beverley representing the Lakers.

 

Seems to me it would’ve made far more sense to add Gabriel instead of Stan since we’ll already have a logjam at center if we add Turner.

 

I will now watch if Russ will not be traded.This will be a pile of dog****

 

Dude, I wouldn't trade two dog s***s and a bowl of piss for Russell Westbrook. You think NBA GMs will? Without trying to fleece every conceivable asset that matters? It's over.

Starting f***ing lineup will be Westbrook, f*** face, lebron, AD and Damian Jones.

 

It's because we aren't getting Turner. I don't get how bringing in that clown means the Lakers are trading for Turner and Hield. Why would you need Beverley you are gonna get Hield who plays the 2?

 

cant defend rob anymore....trash gm, barely watch last season with the troll Bev here now, watch nothing if i dont have to

 

The bevelery trade was to clear space for next year. Got nothing to do with moves that are coming next. Lakers cleared salary beyond 2023 with THT being sent out. Stanley was just a filler to make the money work. That's it.

Utah made the trade because they don't need Beverley and they take a chance on a 21 year old.

That's it. That's all this was for both teams.

 

I’m talking about second round picks.

I definitely think the Jazz could have eventually traded Pat Bev elsewhere for a second round pick (or two). And I can understand why fans of a rebuilding Jazz team would rather have a package that included second rounders over THT, given how disappointing he was this past season and his contract situation.

THT definitely did NOT have significantly more value than this. I don’t know where that idea was coming from. We were looking at trading him for Terrence Ross type players the past trade deadline, and he didn’t really improve much since then; plus now his contract situation is even less desirable.

I get why some fans would have an emotional attachment to THT. He’s been one of our only young players the past few seasons and he’s shown glimmers of potential. But put yourself in the shoes of another team’s fanbase or GM: he just hasn’t shown to be a rotation level NBA player yet. We can make all the excuses about fit and role, but other teams aren’t going to give him that benefit of the doubt.

 

Probably a precursor to another move me thinks.

 

I was thinking the same, but for some reason THT and Wenyen for Beverly wasn’t working in the ESPN trade machine. I’m not sure if his non-guaranteed salary doesn’t count towards outgoing trade matching or something?

Depending on the return on a possible Russ trade though, it’s possible we may have wanted to open multiple roster spots. So doing the Utah trade as a 2 for 1, and then still having Wenyen’s non guaranteed deal to cut, may have been the objective.

A dream scenario I have would be a Russ trade for Hield/Turner, but somehow gets rolled into a multi-team deal that also brings in Cam Reddish. I think something like that would explain giving up Stanley, because he wouldn’t really have a spot in the rotation anyways.

Beverly / Nunn
Hield / Reaves / Walker
Lebron / Reddish / Brown
AD / JTA
Turner / Bryant / Jones

I could get behind that, ESPECIALLY if Mr. Rambis latest post about us trying hard to make the Indiana trade with only one FRP ends up happening

 

I brought up Pat Bev awhile ago and I’m perfectly fine with trading THT for him but why tf did we throw in Stan for… now we still NEED to add size on the wing.

At least this probably means we’re making a Russ trade right? And if its truly about capspace plan then won’t be Indy and Hields contract
