Lakers-Jazz Trade

[NUMBERICA]

The thing about having the worst record is you are guaranteed no worse than the 5th pick.

This cannot be forgotten. It's also a 52% chance at top-3.

Can anyone ask Spencer Checketts when this trade is going to happen now?

I agree with that logic. Now convince the Lakers of that. Maybe we can get them to hire DL to ensure it gets done.

We don't have to. Palinka is the GM that acquired Westbrook. So he made a mistake that was larger than Lindsay's mistake of re-signing Favors.

The larger the mistake that you make, the greater the correction.

But if you're still hung up on Lindsay, feel free to say more about him.

This feels very look at us to me... Russ may be trying to really kiss up to the Lakers cuz he knows he about to get shipped out.

Russ and Bev becoming best friends is very much in the cards imo.

Lol... Teammates have to be able to call each other out. I don't think those two are going to accept criticism from each other.

That is a locker room combination that is as volatile as any in the league.

They are both huge douche bags who are self obsessed. It's a classic arch rivals team up and become best friends to overcome the odds narrative

Pelinka is certainly hoping that people are buying that narrative.

So they team up to piss everyone else off I guess?

One is ball dominant and the other is off ball so it could work out if they don't go "code red" on each other mid season. I'm thinking implosion though at some point.

This trade is super critical for a few reasons... obviously the pick... but we need to offload Mike and Vando if we are truly going to end up in the bottom 3-4. Doing the trade could also block Indiana from doing a Turner trade they like. If they move Turner their defense goes to absolute ****. They could still move him in another deal... but blocking this obvious suitor would be huge.

We are currently too good for the year. Even if you can just nab 1 pick from LA for Mike, Bogey, and Vando... I do it.

If we trade Bogdonovic to someone else because the Lakers play hard ball then so be it. 20 - 40 games in to the season they will come back and we will have had Conley as a mentor for long enough at that point. Conley plus 1 or 2 decent contracts gets us another 1st. It may not be 2 by then but we will already have another from Bogie before the season begins.
