Lakers didn't like the tone of the conversation, so they went back to the drawing board:







and 2 firsts

Have you seen the Lakers off lol.
Why would NOLA be concerned with dumping Solo to create cap space? WTF DO WE NEED CAP SPACE?. frick they must think all fans are stupid.

What about "you don't trade a dollar for 2 quarters, a nickel, and a pair of vouchers for a free shoeshine"?

Even with an unprotected first,
a) I don’t like that deal as much as NYK or Boston
b) that deal can still be made after the season,
c) that deal should be made after the draft order is established.

What does PHX realistically give for Lonzo? Does James Jones come to Lebron’s rescue and offer up their pick unprotected?

You don't get to offload Solo with the returning expiring contracts if you wait till the offseason.
They'll add Hart to this and get it done.

Why would we want that?

Cap Space is useless to us.

No it is not useless. It is a great way to get assets.

This is like when someone in your FF league offers a couple of good players mixed with a bunch of meh to try to land a stud.

Magic needs to get off his arse, move his own good/meh pieces, and get something the Pels see worth trading for. WTF is the point of offering the Pels his whole crappy roster and saying “Look at all this shite I’m giving you, someone will gladly take them off your hands for something better. You could turn a real profit.” It’s like saying I’ll trade you 1 five star meal for these 10 gift certificates to Piccadilly.

Nope!!!
No Rondo. No Stephenson! No Beasley!Add more young players!

The Los Angeles Times said the latest offer includes Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Lance Stephenson, Rajon Rondo and Michael Beasley as well as two first-round picks.

2 words you really have to learn with trade talks.

Expiring. Contracts.

No matter how much shite Magic may try to jam into the bag, they're still only offering a bag of shite.

Until the deadline passes, and nothing has happened, this will be the norm. A new offer, rumors on who likes what, leaks from players, and then nothing. After the deadline we'll have a period of bitching from the Lakers' fans calling the Pelicans petty and a shite organization etc etc. All that being said, here I sit wearing out F5.

Get a third team involved and shift Ingram et al for the picks.
Ball is a pain in the arse, but I think he's the best talent of the bunch.

@thebirdwrites

Lakers will get some agreement with Phoenix to be a third team and take Lonzo giving NOLA more stuff.

Pelicans will tell them it's still not enough.
