2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Btw the Lakers are linked to Herbert Jones.

 

What does that even mean? Some twitter guy or more than one parroting the speculation of another twitter guy? I think he's older than they're going to want to spend assets on, considering he's having a crap year according to you guys that follow other teams' players. Declining already? No idea personally but the assets we have (few) and pick(s) are valuable to be ignoring that with him, whatever the reasons might be.

 

Maybe similar deal to what we traded for DFS.

 

should've sat reaves too for the boston game. he hasn't looked right lately. hopefully this is more of a time off thing and not a serious issue considering they only play twice next week

and what's with all the calf injuries this season?

 

I agree Brotha. We only got two games good. But yeah what’s up with all these calf injuries. Too many games. NBA cup schedule.

 

I agree brotha. Only two games next week. But nba cup schedule is horrible.

 

If I’m trading with Memphis I’m asking for Aldama.He’s a better overall player than Rui

 

Have you seen this guy's resume?" - Robert Horry urges the Lakers to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo at the cost of Austin Reaves

horry should read this article and not be hired to a front office.

 

It’s an intriguing trade

I’d need more details, but I don’t dismiss it right away.

 

No.
We need a couple of guys who can defend and shoot a bit- that’s all.

 

I recall some chatter of us being interested in Ryan Rollins last offseason i believe or the offseason before. Now he's killing it this year on offense and defense. We should have got this guy. Only makes 4 million per year too. Now it would be a buy-high situation, but he would be a great fit. If Bucks want to go into tank mode, I would offer them Knecht, 2031 1st, 2032 2nd, and swaps in 2028,2030,2032.

 

Is he related to Henry?

 

Idk I was thinking maybe Tree Rollins?

 

Silver should totally answer the scheduling issue he never does. The league money grab cost us Anthony Davis. That Toronto Boston Philadelphia schedule was brutal.

gotta hope Austin gets back.

I hate this NBA cup. Will mean nothing to us. They threw a lot of games in. I remember when they did have Luka. Kidd complaining about that trip having to go to Toronto and then back to Dallas something like that.

these players don’t like it.

 

yeah, i remember reading that, but i think milwaukee had the inside track, and it makes sense considering that they cut lillard. we were also interested in ajay mitchell, iirc.

we know what we're doing. the reason our roster is deficient isn't because we don't know what it takes, imo.

 

The problem is the salaries. We’d just have to give up too much IMO. The league is different now and it’d just be too tough to win with a gutted roster and two stars.


But it’s definitely not a crazy thought to me and I get what folks like Horry are saying. I could get over my concerns about it if we were to pull the trigger.

 

I don’t think so. We did this for Anthony Davis. He covered a lot. What did we have LeBron at 35?

so you’re gonna win with Luka and Gianiss. It sounds like a Westbrook trade to me. Trade all your depth and then ride with Stars.

Giannis can’t shoot on the perimeter. So you’re spacing is shot. Who’s answered that question???? You won’t win with it. Where’s your spacing.????

reason Kyrie won with Luka because they were both phenomenal shooters. And the spacing on the floor was ridiculous. You had DFS.

so you go Luka Giannis. You’re gonna destroy Luka. Cause everybody will sag off and double team Gianiss the paint will get f***ed up. You’ll get some scores at the rim.

But you ain’t beating OKC. The depth wins. The Lakers are close. All you would be doing is going backwards. Makes no sense.

I’m not saying Reaves is better than Gianiss but Reaves spacing and more depth is better then Gianiss.

and something tells me I’m going to see a Gianiss Kyle Kuzma deal for Reaves the picks and Vincent or Hachimura.
