We go from Lakers fans telling us we have no leverage and we’ll take what we can get to Celtics fans telling us we have no leverage and we’ll take what we can get.

This is fun

It sounds like the Knicks and Lakers are working hard to make things happen.


Sounds as if you guys have no interest whatsoever in the 3rd or 4th picks in this draft. And if a team about to enter a full/partial rebuild doesn't value those picks, exactly who do you think does?

We value them. We just don’t value their players.

My takes are likely way more nuanced and informed than whatever Lakers clowns you are lurking on Reddit or twitter. Why the frick do you think I am even here? This dude crewz starts posting a lot of verifiable stuff at the trade deadline, and it got my attention.

He's not here to explain things to you anymore, but even if he were, I get the feeling reading his twitter that his access to good information got curtailed with the switch to this new regime. Maybe he is still plugged in to some extent, but I don't think he has a line on Griffin like he did on Demps and/or Ferry. So not only is he not giving you good info anymore, he's not even here to mock the utter stupidity that gets thrown around.

Point blank: The Lakers assets are not that great. Some come with great risk, and others are outright toxic. And unless they find a way to blow away the field on this, they aren't even in the game. Your owner and Loomis hate these guys with the intensity of a thousand suns, just as Pop did when the Lakers did this with Kawhi.

I agree with Vegas. Gayle and Loomis won’t let the Lakers “win.”

The “over my dead body” was legit and she meant it.

You're here because you have nothing better to do at 10pm on Tuesday. You're not any more savvy than the Lakers homers overvaluing their assets. Crewz is a momo. And you're probably his alt since you seem oddly obsessed with him.

Man I really hope so. I really hope we use the Lakers to get comparable offers from other teams. Even if they send us everything they “win”. frick that.

8pm where I am at. Been here for a few months and have never seen you make a meaningful contribution to any conversation beyond chirping at people who are much smarter than you are.

That's cool. Here's what happens next: Either the Pels will find a legit dark horse with a legit centerpiece to beat out Boston, or I will be back here to teabag my sweaty nuts up and down your forehead after AD is traded for Tatum, Smart, the 14, filler and *maybe* one of the Grizz pick or Jaylen.

Either way, AD will NOT be traded to the Lakers, much to the Pels good fortune.

If you’re right we’ll make you an honorary Pel for life.

I would be pretty ecstatic (assuming 1 of Memphis or Brown is included).

Yep, you're definitely Crewz. And, for the record, I wouldn't be bothered if AD went to Boston. In fact, it would be hilarious since he would leave after 2020, anyway and the Celtics would have overpaid for a rental.

Nope. Homie is off tweeting about how the Lakers can somehow get Beal without giving up Ingram. That definitely ain't me, lol.

Yeah and that turned out to be a bad move, too, so... I guess more power to you to aspire to repeat another team's mistake?

Yep, but we still would do the Boogie trade every time. We really had no other path to have a shot at keeping AD.

What I wonder is does Boston have another choice? Let's say you guys pass on AD and Kyrie leaves, what's your path to getting a better player than Tatum?

I guess on Boogie. Was always low on him and high on Buddy, though. As to Boston, yeah, there is definitely a calculus involved. Past a certain price, they will move on to Plan B. Which is why I don't think they will be leveraged here. IMO Griffin just doing his due diligence, but the fact that he is trying to use the Lakers to get better deals isn't a good sign for a bidding war. Guess we will see.

I used to think he was just trolling but then I went to Reddit.

Lakers fans are actually like this but worse, actually.

I'll be ready to accept your apology after we see what he gets dealt for.

I would be fine with Tatum, Smart, 14 and one of Brown/Memphis pick. However, be honest. If it really came down to the Pelicans saying it is a deal if Ainge includes both Brown and the Memphis pick, do you really think he walks away from AD as firm as you have portrayed?
