"told you guys!" whatever happensI’m still laughing at the fact that he said it will involve rotation players and could happen anytime before the deadline lmao. Can you get any more generic than that.

If nothing happens:I can confirm that any player that gets traded from our team will be a player who’s on our roster and it will before the trade deadline. This is all according to my sources.
I agree but i really think if you dont get the 2nd unprotected first (and the Lakers shouldnt do that if they are smart anyway), you have to mandate the swap this year. The Lakers still come out looking good overall since they still get a pick.Conley/Beasley/Vando for Westbrook/first is the realistic best case scenario for us right now. Frees up more playing time for Sexton and Agbaji.
Are we just going to pretend that the Lakers front office is going to be employed two years from now? Screw 'em.There are lots of ways to negotiate… I doubt Ainge loses any clout by bending and finding middle ground… actually might facilitate deals in the future.
If it’s a deal that brings long term value and it’s the best deal on the table… I take it.
Yeah, this is the kind of thing we may be coming down to: deals that are considerably less sexy than the ones we've long imagined are out there. I'd personally probably do your Conley, Gay, Olynyk for Westbrook/pick swap. But I imagine it's not going to be popular if it comes down to that.30M+ in cap space... getting a swap that moves us up 8-10 spots is not "doing a trade for trades sake". That is first round value... last year Detroit was able to use their space to acquire picks and move into the late lotto to get Jalen Duren.
Is it amazing value? Probably not... but it absolutely has a purpose.
Still on the Springer bandwagon?I'm going to say it's Vando for Jaden Springer and the Charlotte 2023 2nd rounder
For that package they are getting Gay rather than Vando.Conley/Beasley/Vando for Westbrook/first is the realistic best case scenario for us right now. Frees up more playing time for Sexton and Agbaji.
