    Aaron Larsuel is on spaces right now, in addition to joking that he hasn’t slept in 3 days, when asked if the Lakers are looking to trade for a Center, said yes, but it doesn’t mean it’ll happen. Then when pressed further if the the ‘31 pick is being shopped for the Center, he said if there is something that makes sense, the pick is available. I don’t think that’s really news, but he did say it’s not for a center specifically, not for a wing specifically, not for any player specifically, just that if something presents itself that’s is worth the pick, it’s available. It was at the end, but he was on the whole thing as well talking about other stuff, Luka stuff of course

    I would imagine that we are checking with Detroit, on lowering their asking price for a salary dump. It might be some interesting names available on the buyout market.

    As long as it's not Bismarck Biyombo lol

    I heard that. I love those spaces with Guru and those guys. They've made for a lot of entertaining nights. Very smart basketball guys, too. They had O'Shea Jackson on there, which was cool.

    Thx for posting and the news. How reliable are any of the beat reporters, though? We'll just have to see what happens, IMO.

    I'm not expecting anything; we've had a great deadline so far, IMO. It would be nice to fortify the center position or maybe they look to the buyout.

    I don’t know about the beat reporters, I mean I guess Edwin Garcia was on that spaces talking about how he knows stuff and just doesn’t share it, same as I’m sure they all do to maintain relationships. But Larsuel works for the team, or at least with, he’s involved in the FO, he has input on decisions, so there’s stuff he can and can’t say, but he definitely knows a lot because he’s in the room so to speak. But like I said, he didn’t really share anything here that hasn’t been reported, it’s just sort of confirmation from the inside I guess on that, they want to get a center, and they will make moves if something worthy of that pick comes along.
