yes, I don't think they are going to give up ingram......no way. This is probably as far as they will go with the trade honestly.

Did the Nets just win a trade?

That's not enough, one year left or not. You gotta put something with actual value on the line.

I won't cheer for Philly (because I don't cheer for any team besides the Lakers), but I've always liked watching the 76ers. The lineup they will have potentially is finally going to be a blast. Hope they go the Finals a few times eventually.
Aside from them, I'll be enjoying the Rockets (because James Harden) and Timberwolves, who are also a lot of fun.
It's not like the Pacers have any leverage.

Wait, the Lakers also got LaVert?
Nope. Woj edited the article and took that part out.

paul george basically said I'm not resigning......and announced he wants to play for the lakers.
So every other offer coming in would be a rental.....lakers hold the leverage here

Wouldn't taking Kevin Love from the Cavs and some other shitty piece make more sense then that god awful Lakers trade proposition?

Was gonna say that if I were Magic my next move might be to try and attach one of those picks to Jordan Clarkson to try and unload his salary and give the team maximum flexibility for next offseason. Clarkson + Lopez off the cap next season alone would be like $30+ million in addition to what they already had. Might even be able to extend Randle and possibly Nance and keep some space open.
The fact that they dumped DLo like they did tells me a realistic trade with Indy isn't in the cards, otherwise why wouldn't Indy have asked for him instead of, say, Jordan Clarkson.

The Pacers want to bottom out.

Wait, the Lakers got Levert as well?

They'll probably at least wait to find out about Butler. If Jimmy doesn't go to the Cavs, then the Cavs might try to pull a Love for PG trade, which while still one-sided for the Cavs, is probably a better deal than what the Lakers are offering.

Depends on whether or not the Pacers want to try and just blow it up, or stay mediocre.
No, it was a misprint by Woj
The Suns pick, which was allegedly in play for Love, would easily beat that. But it's possible that the Cavs have decided to target Butler rather than George at this point.

the biggest reason they want george this year is to have bird rights.....which is huge for chasing another superstar like Lebron next year

Holy shit, I can't believe we got rid of that Mozgov contract. Sucks that d lo had to be the sacrificial lamb. Lopez is off the books next year which is fine by me. Damn it's not a bad trade in my opinion. But like it was mentioned earlier, it sure as hell puts a lot of pressure on our youngsters Jackson/Ball and Ingram.

if they can free up enough space it won't matter.
Either way, you don't give up George for the opportunity to either take on Clarkson's somewhat meh deal or pay Randle in a year for two late firsts. Even rentals cost more than that historically, let alone PG-level rentals.
This puts an insane amount of pressure on Magic's recruiting skills, and also for Ball and Ingram to show progress this year. Otherwise you're not going to have much of a story entering the 2018 offseason.
Yeah this makes the most sense right now assuming the Cavs FO is still remotely functional.

I hope one day Lopez is allowed to go to a winning team.

Russell still has potential.
That's the type of move my Jazz should be taking. They have a pick in the 20's, bad guards, and can take the Mozgov contract, we need a backup for Gobert anyway.
I mean the chances of him becoming a star are slim. But those type of chances are the only ones you get if you're a team like the Jazz. Oh well, now he'll rot on the Nets.

Lopez for the #3 pick straight up.
I'm not seeing this anywhere, source?

Lakers don't since Paul George has already indicated he wants to sign with them anyway. PG has literally kneecapped the Pacers to have any negotiation power.
It was originally in Woj's article, but he removed it.

Nick Young lasted longer with the Lakers than DLo. Who would have thought it?

Throw in cash and future picks and maybe some other trash from Cleveland.

Regardless, even if this is to ultimately make cap space for Paul George + *insert all-star* here, that team isn't doing anything significant in the West. Would've been better to develop the young core and have them take over once the Warriors decline, IMO.
I'm just bitter because I like DLO

If Jordan Clark son gets traded, no doubt swaggy p stays. Swaggy gonna retire his Jersey in staples lol
Not really any way the Jazz can fit a Mozzy contract on their books unless you're accepting GHill and Gordon are leaving.
That I do agree with. I'm not saying the Lakers have to give up more, just I'm not doing the deal if I'm the Pacers. I'll look elsewhere and hope for the best.
