So the lakers big surprise target is Bradley Beal lol.


Do the Lakers have the pieces to do that kind of move? Has Beals value dropped that much (due to the contract)?

Beal is on one of the worst contracts in the NBA and has a no-trade clause.

Washington fricked up big time.

If Beal would agree to a trade to the Lakers that gets them of that terrible contract.

They take Russ back for one year and then have a ton of cap space.

Beal also doesn't look great. Look at how far his numbers have fallen the last two years.

I think y’all are really underestimating the value of unprotected Lakers picks then. I’d also want as many swaps as they can legally give. If you can get 26 and 28 swaps I’d bet at least one of those 4 years is a top 5 pick.

Russ has been one of their best players recently. While his contract is awful, it's only one year. I'm curious what picks if any would be involved here. Which team is more desperate? Either way, that's an awful contract for a team so whoever has him in the end is the loser.

That Westbrook contract has to be super valuable right now. I imagine if they wait to the deadline, some team would be desperate to offload salary. Has to be lots willing to package picks along with those big contracts too..

Most of the teams looking to unload salary are going to want to keep picks for a rebuild.

Lots? Name 5 teams in the league that have $47 million worth of long term contracts so bad they are willing to attach picks to get rid of them.

Anthony Davis (non-COVID illness) is questionable for tonight’s game vs. Sacramento. He’s not at shootaround. Will be evaluated in the afternoon.

I'm very frustrated, because I got my League Pass subscription through Amazon Prime, so that I can easily watch on my TV, and Amazon tonight just has a "Commercial Break in Progress" message on every game.

None of the games actually play.

Edit: they finally fixed the technical glitch, and I can watch, and this game is not going the way that I'd like.

Kings were down 13, but they went on a run at the half and closed it down to 4.

I’ll give the Lakers one thing. They don’t seem to ever get blown out despite losing a lot.

This Kings team cannot play any defense at all. But when Fox is shooting well, like he is right now, they can match teams basket for basket.

Lakers are actually shooting 47% from 3 in this game. For them, that's crazy.

Edit: Westbrook just made another 3 to put the Lakers at 10-20 from distance for the game. Unreal.
