    Ok he gets major praise for this one. 3 rotation guys, a starting PG, a shooter, and an elite young defensive player for 1 top 4 protected first. AND we got rid of Damian Jones and his player option for next season. That’s a great move, great move. Best of all he got rid of Russ, for just 1 pick.

    I have to applaud even more. He turned Nunn, Russ, Jones, JTA, some 2nds and a 1st into Rui, D-Lo, Beasley, and Vanderbilt, hell yeah.

    He really did. Very solid trade Rob! For a protected first and a couple seconds.

    Thank you for doing something to slot this team like a real NBA playoff team. Dumped Russ AND won a trade when dealing with the f***ing Leprechaun... truly impressive.

    Hopefully he has one more deal up his sleeve. But props to him. Did a really nice job tonight.

    I’m stunned that Danny Ainge hooked us up like this. This team matches up perfectly vs the C Bags if we face them down the road.

    Give this man his flowers. Great approach to the market considering the little assets we had.

    Everyone who's been just plainly hating on him should get a sticker in its' profile saying "I'm a douchebag".

    We are still far from contending but we get to live another day. Hopefully we re-sign DLo to a friendly deal so he can be an asset moving forward

    I never doubted you Rob. I’m sorry you took all the grief for letting Bron GM a couple of times, but clearly you see we need youth, length, shooting, etc and are addressing it. Kudos!

    3 second round picks for a minimum contract guy is wow, Rob is on a roll. I mean we got Rui for 3 second round picks, these are the sort of around the margin things he had been messing up or just handling poorly, it’s great to see this turning around.

    Very impressive trade deadline for Rob & the Lakers FO.
    We now have better shooting, finishers, a true PG, youth, wing size, defense & more flexibility going into next Season.
    Oh, & we might even have some young Players we can start building around instead of completely starting from scratch every year.

    Bravo.

    Just think how great this Deadline would have been if Rob understood the Salary Cap, had a clue what he was doing, and wasn’t the most despised man alive by other teams front offices.
