    same logic should be used with the other rumor that la would only offer jc, randle and 28th....Randle also has said agent.

    I doubt it, this is all a load of horse crap being used for click bait. Russ and Julius aren't going anywhere this summer. I share OX's complete disdain for guys like Chad Ford.

    I could believe teams are trying to get Russell on a discount but I doubt we are dangling him for mid round pick. It's just dumb.

    Chad Ford makes up whatever he wants and throws it out there. He hears what other people are saying, makes conjecture off of that, and people run with it. He's no more an insider than Stephen A. Smith or Colin Cowherd. They're nonsense.

    He now claims that he heard it from other GMs even though we've heard absolutely nothing about this from any other reporters and no LA reporters.

    A whole new low, this latest rumor is beyond absurd. Thursday cannot come soon enough -- wish we could fast forward to summer ball.

    Can't figure out how these clowns have jobs in this business. Anyone can do that. Anyone.

    I don't understand how people like this get employed in the first place. We're looking to trade our current best player that we've put 2 years of development time into for a top 12 pick? Another rookie who may or may not be any good? Yeah that makes a ton of sense. If Magic and Rob did that they'd lose all credibility instantly.

    Clearly with the wording taking a public shot at Chad the a-hole Ford.

    If the Lakers are really looking for another 1st Rounder, what are the odds that it's to meet the reported 2 Firsts & a "starting caliber" player demand by Indy for PG..
    JC +#28 +Newly Aquired 1st = PG13

    Hey guys... Being a lil wuss here but "for real", thanks for your input on everything.

    You guys are effing crazy lol... Like ill go to bed at 3-4 am and by 12 the same day its like 7 pages later haha.

    Anyhoot. SO FROM WHAT IVE READ,about last 10-20 pages .

    1) Russell eventually is due for a new contract.

    2) when you hear ish,sometimes youre only hearing HALF the story.

    3) One of my favorite sayings that i take to heart and you can use this for EVERYTHING in life at your own cost;
    Making sure no stone is left unturned.

    Another thing i wanna add to my last post.. And thanks for sparking the idea.

    Negotiation 101... YOU HAVE TO ASK High.

    If you dont, you're not a good sales man nor negotiator. Sticker price always gives you the necessary wiggle room.

    so not only is russell not being offered for the vaunted 12th pick--he's not even being used to dump deng or mozgov???!!!

    but but the media has insisted...

    just reading tea leaves:

    lakers will use the #2 pick on luke kennard.
    they will then trade russell and deng for evan turner and a swift kick to the testicles.
    ingram will be packaged with mozgov into sacramento's cap space.
    meanwhile, paul george will be traded to houston for eric gordon; jimmy butler will be traded to cleveland for god knows what, and the C Bags will get ALL the picks ever conceived of in the natural world (which is like having the 17th banner, really).

    finally, lebron! they just needed to say it because it hadn't appeared in the news cycle in the last 4 minutes.
