It's a good show of value, Klutch definitely likes the optics on those trade numbers. I hope they have the balls to ask for all of it. If the Lakers are gonna go after Kawhi on the Toronto loaner then they must have some confirms that are trustworthy.

Ball goes to Suns with Solo. Pels get: Josh Jackson, TJ Warren, Milwaukee 2020 1st and Suns 2020 1st top 5 protected



So the Suns give up JJ, an awesome sixth man, a top 10 lotto pick, another first round pick and take on Solo's terrible contract for an injury prone PG who has disappointed so far + comes with more baggage than any human in NBA history?

I would like to find a way to get Michael Porter Jr in a Pellies Uniform before this is all said and done.

Our medical staff would do wonders for him.

Warriors drafted 3 all stars, which led to them having the cap space to sign KD..

Cousins happened because nobody else would sign him to the money he wanted..

KD/Boogie level guys will never sign with LA for the MLE

And even drafting all 3 All Stars, in no other year would they have been able to afford KD or even come close, other than they cap explosion year.

Dude I know how the Warriors happened. Don’t think Lebron and other stars wouldn’t take $5-10 million less a piece to add extra talent

Lebron will never take a pay cut, his pride wont let him do that...

He will demand a max deal until hes 40

And hes also said since that he wouldnt take anything less than a max as long as he's worth it because he wants to own a franchise and cant do it taking pay cuts...

LeBron is under contract till 2021. He will be 36 before he can enter free agency again. He also has a player option for $41 mill in his 36 y/o season. I don't see him declining a player option at 36 years old.

He's going to take a hit from his Klutch revenue after this debacle.

Surprised Pels FO doesn't think Kuzman would be a good asset on that deal, seems very team friendly for what he can do.

Still a lot of time and more work for the Lakers to do with other teams.

And you say you're an insider? Jesus fricking christ this is one of the worst deals ive ever seen.

So you're telling me the front office is wanting 5 players, 4 1st round picks and 5 2nd round picks? This is some shite 15 year olds in high school talk about. And you want people to take you serious?

Teams wouldn't give that for KD or a prime Lebron, yet your connections expect them to make the deal for AD? If this is true, no wonder the Pelicans are one of the worst franchises in the NBA.

You lose all credibility with a shite post like this man.

He has taken a paycut. The money on his deals in the NBA are shite compared to his endorsements. He would take 7-8 million less a season no problem. Thats pennies in the grand scheme of things to him.

The "team" gave up control when they signed Lebron. When Lebron went to Cleveland in 2014, He traded players picked first overall in consecutive drafts (2013 & 2014) as well as the Heat's top 10 protected 2015 1st round pick for Kevin Love. Kevin Love is no AD.

You are comparing 2-3 picks with 9. 9 picks. He said 4 1st rounders, 5 2nd rounders. The dude is off his rocker with his "inside" info.

There is no equivalent amount of 2nd round picks that would equal a No. 1 overall. A team could offer 50 2nd round picks for No 1 overall and that would be rejected by every team. Think of the 2nds as extra cash.

It is 4 picks.

The thread has "Godfather Offer" in the title. No one is expecting this to happen, it's only confirming that the Pels are asking for Lakers to make a ridiculous trade to even consider a move before summer.

Pretty funny radio call just now:
