2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

From Hollinger...

If cash is a viable option instead of attaching a 2nd to dump either or both of those, get it the f*** done! Anything that hits the buyout market will be better than them.


According to Matt Moore, we're looking for another 5. Maybe one we can actually play.

He was on the Silver Screen and Roll podcast and reiterated we're in the market for a 5.

How about we dump some weight for Barnes and get Damian Jones back in the process?

 

We have the LA female tiktok community doing their part to try and get Turner to the Lakers

 

I 100% believe this just for Rob's "lamb of God" reference he has ready to break out in the presser

 

Pritchard is the GM in Indiana. Enough of the Indy is gonna trade with the Lakers. Pritchard hates us. Give it a rest.

 

We give up more assets for a 1/2 season rental who may not even stay?

 

Just put Lakers in any rumor and you get hits/likes

 

how is Eric Gordon “too obvious an answer”? Undersized guard who can’t play defense and will forget how to shoot once hes here…

 

i think the "may not even stay" is the point, sadly. penny pinching lakers.

if the question is: "how do we double down on this s***burger of a season?"

 

Can't get the link to his article to work, but Fischer at B/R had us linked to Josh Richardson.

He makes $11m, so it would have to be for THT

 

man, what are we doing. three teams now have hoped to recover the prime season of josh richardson.

i guess if boston gives us a future 1st or something? but again, THT's value is just shot.

know when to hold 'em.

edit: oh, and nunn+3 vet mins gets it done salary-wise, but i'd almost rather see nunn opt in here next year than get a deep bench wing for our non-playoff run.

 

More from Jake's article...

Atlanta would certainly be the most interesting destination for him. Pelicans and Knicks, I didn't and still don't understand because they're not very good. Hawks have the assets and that's the kind of move and pairing that could make them a threat (not enough to beat Bucks, but doesn't mean your stand idly by)

Give our standing offer + the Wiz 2nd rounders. Those are as good as late firsts, especially while there's uncertainty with Beal's commitment. If there was a knock it out of the park offer so far, they would have made it this weekend like Clipps and Cavs both did.


More on what the Pacers are looking for and who they're talking to

Really doesn't look like Grant is going anywhere

I read a piece yesterday stating that one of the appealing aspects to him with going to Detroit in the first place was having them having both a black coach and GM. Include the role he wants, their front office being torn on moving him. More I read, more I think he stays.


Clipps were shopping Kennard. Ibaka could still move.

Bucks remain a possibility for Schroder

Pistons like Brunson

Dinwiddie market is unclear

Knicks could shed salary by moving Burks

SA wants draft capital for Thadd. They've discussed a deal with Minny for Prince. Both could be bought out depending on how this week goes.

I'll gladly take either if they hit the buyout market. Would prefer Thadd, but either would be very important on this team. Thadd is better at playing up a spot or two and would prevent us from playing guards against players like Ibaka and the Hawks secondary bigs


Gallo for Dragic has been talked about. Poeltl is a hot commodity. Denver shopping Green and Campazzo

ORL: Ross would cost two 2nds. Harris could get bought out

I'd pay the two 2nds for Ross if we didn't have to include salary. But that's not an option.


Potential buyout candidates

Guarantee TT is a Laker if he hits the market. TT + Thadd/Prince is the best possible buyout options for us based on who's currently being discussed.

 

i think tristan thompson could help us. he's a little more mobile and offensively useful than either of our current bigs and would allow us to start big without going in major holes every time.

him + young or prince via buyout would be better than any trade i've seen floated. by a mile. but i think there's no way SA buys out thad knowing we might get him. spiteful bastards.

and i'm sure the clippers will somehow add prince to their wing collection because they know he might help us.

 

Depending on the picks involved, that's a very good buy low deal for CJ.

Not sure why the Pelicans do it, they're going nowhere and Zion wants out. But on paper, it's a good acquisition.

 

This is highway robbery IMO.

CJ is very solid.

 

More details on the deal





Why would Dame want to stick around for this? I doubt Hart is there for long. They'll flip him to a playoff team.

 

According to the C Bags beat writer we're offering THT + pick for him

 

S

So THT+pick for KCP. Got it.
