I shared elsewhere Russel was very much scouted by Spurs when Sean Marks was still in the FO
Spurs liked him back then. He's been rotting away in Lakers...
Hopefully they send your boyfriend and LMA for him, SAGirl. That would be the greatest thing since #5.

What about Lopez salary?
Lopez's deal ends next year IIRC..
That's correct. This is all about getting into position to get PG13 and LeBron.
Correct.
If Ingram progresses into the talent he could be... three elite wings on one team could be very lethal.
I am just surprised BKY had to give up a pick while eating Mozgov's salary to get Randle. Obviously Brook was expiring and there was no point in probably bringing him back.
So they got a young guard they like that is on reasonable deal right now for Brook. But had to give up a first round pick and eat Mozgov's 47M
I imagine save Kawhi and Tony (lol) everyone is game to be traded. He's originally from NY, I don't think he'd hate that and he's going to be a FA after that one year. It's not like he'd be traded to a badly managed organization in a long term deal. Minutes could help his FA case too.
I do doubt he's just going to be thrown in a trade just to get rid of him though. The acquiring team probably has to want him--ask for him by name... do you see that happening? No? Ok. Suck up your sourpuss then lol
Danny, I'd take Randle in heartbeat. He's raw but his talent is undeniable.
I actually think Marks likes Russell that much.I am just surprised BKY had to give up a pick while eating Mozgov's salary to get Randle. Obviously Brook was expiring and there was no point in probably bringing him back.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Mozgov do all right in Brooklyn. In a friendly system, he's good enough to be their starting five. So now they have Lin, Russell, RHJ, Booker and Mozgov with LeVert and their first to build around. And they can deal with Portland to get that pick back and take on Turner or Leonard.I am just surprised BKY had to give up a pick while eating Mozgov's salary to get Randle.

It's not a great team, but I do think a good coach could get them sniffing the playoffs.
Sniff if they have really strong senses of smell
It's quite possible there was compe ion for Russell... We never know the bidding or who else was interested. What else was in the table for Russell.I am just surprised BKY had to give up a pick while eating Mozgov's salary to get Randle.

IF. Ingram looks like a piece of so far.
Yep, Lakers clearly won this trade. I hope Sean will give us a deal, too.I am just surprised BKY had to give up a pick while eating Mozgov's salary to get Randle. Obviously Brook was expiring and there was no point in probably bringing him back.

He didn't have. Much of a choice tbh.. He inherited an awful situation and taking on a bad deal is about the only way to try to get talent.
We will see if it works out or not.
Ya - this is obviously the strategy now: Take on bad deals with your space to get high upside talent or picks back. Tough road and a lot has to go right, but damn.
No... he didn't, but I still think he liked Russell a whole of a lot and probably will sleep well tonight.
Yeah... it's a big IF. People say the Next Kevin Durant. Durant looked like he was going to be a monster his 1st year.
We do know. Now that we know Russ was on the block (which we knew, but now we KNOW): 1) INDY could have easily gotten him and didn't & 2) Its been reported by credible sources that no teams with a lottery pick wanted Russell. That surprised LA so they turned to using Russ to dump a bad deal.
Oh I agree. He's happy. He should be. He has to gamble and this was reasonable. I hate that they gave up the pick, but that it's.
But this is a win-win for both teams.
No way. Heck, I want Elfrid Payton!
I think his kid-like at ude turns a lot of teams off.
1.) Brooklyn is willing to take on bad deals to help other teams for future assets. Might mean they're looking to spend money to provide salary relief for teams vs. signing FAs to crazy offer sheets. Simmons being one.
2.) A few have mentioned it, but Philly and Brooklyn are all but out of the PG FA market. Could mean Lowry/Hill/Holliday all become slightly more attainable
3.) This is all about the Lakers signaling to other teams - we have a plan and will have max space for PG13. Trade at your own risk - he's coming to us. Could push down Pacers' return. Not to mention they have salary to match now in Lopez for Pacers that isn't an albatross.
