Daily Lakers Discussion Thread

[Spears] The Jazz are not expected to keep Dennis Schröder.

[Siegel] ‪The Lakers may not be done before Thursday afternoon's deadline. Los Angeles was in conversations with a few other teams throughout the day before trading for Mark Williams tonight, specifically seeing what Maxi Kleber's contract could get them.‬

Potential trade for Nic Claxton

[Reminder] Rob works in silence. Stop being impatient

[Charania] Breaking: The New Orleans Pelicans have traded Brandon Ingram to the Toronto Raptors for Bruce Brown Jr., Kelly Olynyk, one first-round pick and one second-rounder, sources tell ESPN.

BI to Toronto 🔁 Poeltl to Lakers

Brandon Ingram - who was with the New Orleans Pelicans during the 1st half of tonight's game - is no longer on the Pelicans bench in the 2nd half.

[Charania] The New York Knicks are trading center Jericho Sims to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of Bucks-Washington Wizards/Kyle Kuzma-Khris Middleton deal, sources tell ESPN.

[Grange] Interesting wrinkle floated to me from a Western Conference exec: Raptors and Pelicans have talked about an Ingram deal centred on Bruce Brown and Chris Boucher. Money works. Theory is Raps attach some kind of pick capitol for Ingram's bird rights.

Bulls, Lonzo Ball agree to 2-year, $20M extension

Luka Garza

[Highlight] Bruce Brown picks the pocket, sets up Ochai Agbaji for the dunk as Raptors go on a 7-0 run

Leborn on insta: "Coming soon👀… 🪄& 👑"

Thoughts on potentially signing Jericho Sims?

Bobby Portis?

My opinion after looking at salaries, talking to scouts/execs, the most logical option at the deadline for the Lakers is Day’Ron Sharpe. Tough-nosed rebounder, final year of his deal, gives the Lakers options at the C position along with Hayes. Deal would likely need a 3rd team - Dan Woike

Two-way contract for a center?

Shams: Warriors could pivot to Nikola Vučević if unable to land Durant or Butler.

Off-season Booker to the Rockets (Ignore the Pistons, just there to illustrate contracts that would no longer be on the books for PHX and HOU)

[Stein] The Pelicans, sources said, have held ongoing dialogue with both Toronto and Atlanta about acquiring Ingram. In any scenario where the Pelicans take on future money, New Orleans is expected to seek further draft pick compensation. The Raptors and Pelicans have discussed various scenarios.

[Stein] There is a sense that Durant does not want to be traded at all this week. It is believed that he has some serious reservations about a second Warriors stint. One source briefed on the trade talks suggested the Warriors might have the gumption to trade for Durant anyway.
