Jog on Silver.
Don't worry about the Lakers, Pels will pick 1 and Lakers will pick 2, giving then Pels will say they already have Zion so don't need Wemby and pick Scoot, then Lakers will end with Wemby. It's already scripted.

That Utah trade was salary balanced. They want the TE. We can make one for them. If they play their cards right, they can use that TE at the deadline this year.
That being said, if it’s McD and JRich, plus eating Russ’s ugly deal, I’m not taking less than an unprotected FRP and a unprotected swap. JRich alone will pull a FRP from a contender near the deadline, and maybe a team fighting for position with the Lakers. It’ll be in the 20s if it’s this year,but it’s still a FRP.
Not likely. Danny Ainge has hated the Lakers longer than CIA Pop. He tried to bend Pelinka over a barrel is why that deal didn't get done.
If this happens I might get pinked
After the major trades from the past couple of years, there are surprisingly few FRPs for sale around the league. It's easy to say someone is worth a pick from a contender but while true in a vacuum, these picks just aren't there.
Boston can't trade a first until 2025 ( and the Spurs are unlikely to be interested in a 2025 first too much as they already have 3 of them, possibly 4, depending on the CHA pick )
Brooklyn can't trade a first until 2027.
Dallas can't trade a first until 2027.
Denver can't trade any firsts.
Golden State can't trade a first until 2028.
Clippers can't trade a first until 2028.
Lakers can't trade a first until 2027.
Memphis CAN trade any first.
Miami CAN trade their 2023 and 2028 firsts.
Bucks can't trade a first until 2029.
Sixers can't trade any firsts.
Suns CAN trade any pick.
The teams that could be possible trade partners are Suns, Miami, Memphis, Toronto, Chicago (with the Blazers pick) and NY (they have 3 additional 2023 firsts burning a hole in their pockets).
Basically that's it - there are more teams selling than teams even able to buy, which will probably drive the prices down.
Lakers are in trouble. The richest owner in sports owns the LA Clippers. Free agents can get the same Southern California sun location and a few extra millions under the table courtesy of Steve Ballmer. Jeannie Buss is a poor trust fund baby by comparison. Probably the poorest NBA owner too. That's strike 1.
Strike 2: most GMs hate Rob Pelinka from his cutthroat days as Kobe's Agent. Look at what Boston gave up for Malcolm Brogdon. Now compare what Ainge wanted for Boggs from the Lakers. It's sickening how these got GMs hate Pelinka due to his past and his current affiliation with the.
Strike 3: most franchises hate the Lakers. Been like this since Pop was in the CIA for real. That failed CP3 deal in 2011 set the Lakers back basically a decade. We didn't win another chip between 2010 and 2020.
Now these teams are conspiring against the Lakers again, in real time. 29 teams pay pennies on the dollar in trades. Laker tax: get bend over or else
Interesting
Do it RC
Sir…….stop begging! lol You are better than this!!! The lakers made their bed trying to be cute……Interesting
Do it RC
So what's the offer for JRich and Doug? 2027 and a 2028 swap or 2027 and 2029 and yall keep the swap?Interesting
Do it RC
Pick your poison...

Pelicans aren’t going to be in the lottery. They’re a young and upcoming playoff team.
Not including Poeltl makes the TE bigger too.
I was a big critic of Poeltl. But I rather keep him. If they decided to trade, he alone can generate FRPNot including Poeltl makes the TE bigger too.
Yeah lets reward our players great opening by blowing up the team! Would be a pretty shrewd move tbh...
The Pelicans own a pick swap with the Lakers in the '23 draft-- I think that's what Ambchang is referencing here.
WB out tomorrow with hamstring soreness... prelude to a trade with someone?
I think JRich + Doug for Russ would only get one of those FRP, and perhaps a few 2nds.
In that case we should pass...but I think everyday that passes the price to get rid of WB is going up
Agree time helps.
The other option that could appeal is those two players plus the CHA pick we own for the LAL picks. Allows us to “upgrade” the CHA pick and gives LAL a chance to say they recouped a pick in the short run.
JRich on his own could fetch a first, but probably not an unprotected one.
Agree that he will absolutely NOT fetch an unprotected first on his own.
Lakers really need a duo of players like Poeltl and Richardson, tbh. If they come calling, an unprotected 1st, a top 20 protected 1st, and a pick swap is the least I would ask for, tbh.
That protected first would have to come from another team unfortunately, because I don’t think they can put any protections on that 2029 pick (cannot trade picks beyond 2029).
As someone mentioned, I’d be fine shipping out the Charlotte pick to get both Lakers picks unprotected. There’s a decent chance that the Charlotte pick never conveys. No idea if the Miles Bridges news hit before or after the Murray trade (looks like both were June 29th) but that significantly impacted their playoff prospects this year and going forward. I’d rather have a shot at a lottery pick than have that Charlotte pick possibly turn into two seconds.
She was outlining a scenario where they win the lotto for pick one after missing the playoffs, the lakers get two, but NO doesn’t pick Wemby because of brokedown Zion for some reason, and the Lakers get him at two.
