don't see pop moving demar. he cares about ddr's feeling too much
the move would be out of character for pop. yeah, pop moved malik and hill but demar is different (sensitive) beast altogether.
Tobias is a nice player but he's not any less of a fake star than DeRozan is. He's in line for a big payday too.
It would've been interesting to see what PATFO could've done with two late lottery picks though.

Let’s see what the details are around the other first round picks before we fully lambast one side. If there are a bunch of pick swaps and protections in place to make sure NO gets to roll the picks until a certain year when they are lottery picks, that’ll look a lot different than two picks in the near future that are in the 20s.
at least he can shoot and doesnt suffer chronic dperession
People said the same thing when the Lakers traded for Dwight Howard.
The picks are potentially valuable because the Lakers are injury prone and will probably choke a season.
So much for pops warning to not deal with la
Lakers are a team that isn't afraid to make bold moves and they eventually trade their way to les. It has happened in the past Kobe/Shaq and will happen again.
What happened to the Spurs trading DDR and getting the #4 pick? C'mon spurstalk.
We are living in the darkest timeline, dreams don’t come true here.
I would say Ujiri trading Demar for #2 was a bold move knowing #2 has a high chance of bolting. He took a risk on trading for a 1 year rental and ended up winning a le. The Lakers don't ever have to make bold moves because players like Davis try to force their way to LA. So GTFO here with your nonsense. You are a typical closet Laker fan.
Shaq signed as a free agent, and then they traded him in his prime to the Heat and helped them ring before the Lakers did again.
Kobe was hardly a bold move. Basically the George Hill/Kawhi grade 15 years earlier.
I wouldn't say it was a bold move at all. To me it was a no lose situation. You gamble and you get a top 5 player for a potential championship and at the same time get rid of a bad contract in demar derozan. His gamble paid off. I don't think demar is as bad as most do here but for Toronto his contract was bad and the team had stagnated with him.
WTF are you talking about. If you mean bold moves like breaking NBA rules, tampering then you're onto something. LAs a desireable location. Lakers have taken advantage of that for years. A near idiot GM and owner would be successful there. They have proven though a complete idiot can’t.
Just cause DeRozan can't get us #4 it doesn't mean it's off the table generally cause of the trade.
You're forgetting the $5 million the Spurs sent the Raps in this trade. The WORST trade in Spurs history.
Damn 3 first round picks and 3 players.
Spurs will probably win a championship again, too. Probably not until at least 2040 and most likely not in San Antonio but it will happen again.
Nawlins needs to draft Zion and Hunter.
Doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things
Oh wait it does! They can’t even go out and buy a pick now this year from a cheap ass owner like the Bulls or Suns: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q98
Pelicans on Lakers in this trade, I have no clue why everyone is so high on empty-stat AD. Dude hasn't won a ing thing. DeMar Derozan and Kyle ing Lowry did way more than AD.
Is Kawhi Lakers bound?
