2026-27 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

you like my boy Martin. Hey we won. We won the championship. OG tell these punks to stop putting an asterisk on it. Put some respect on our names.

 

Austin Reaves expected to resign with us.

 

That Gianiss trade is whack for them. We got two number 1s for them.

They don’t get Brown. You gotta get a great player trading Gianiss. He’s top 5 good. The C Bags would be loaded.

 

What’s the 1st domino to drop???? Aaron Gordon to Detroit???

gotta be something like that. Or the Clippers.

I would take Arron Gordon. But nobody will help us.

that’s why we gotta keep our own Austin Rui and Lebron.

 

I got a spurs trade that makes sense for both teams.

Spurs Dearen Fox to Minnesota for Julius Randle. Spurs get their rebounding power forward to put next to Wemby who can space the floor.

Minnesota gets their point guard who can score next to Anthony Edwards to help him.

 

I don’t mind Ayton coming back. I’m not going to go crazy in trades when we have Ayton. I will check on Kristaf Porzingis. I’m sure Ayton will do a Deangelo Russell similar to him and opt in and take that money.

We can also bring Nikola Vucevic Center that can have some good basketball in him. Can shoot make free throws space the floor. And rebound. I like him. He’s from L.A.

 

Give me Gordon. Don't even really care if he duplicates Luka and LeBron the dude is a baller and Lebron can teach him some.longevity lessons

 

I’ve been saying it since Walter bought the team, but also because I can’t see us losing a big man like Rui’s playoff proven high 3pt and midrange performance …. that Rui’s a legit high return on investment for the Japanese marketing potential. How rare in the NBA is Rui?? See Dodgers. Might be wrong but no one else is banging that drum. Plus JJ has spoken highly of him in the past about about his improvement in areas the staff wanted.

 

lol, now they're saying the clips might get brown for the 5th overall pick in a three-teamer.

man, the one time i want pat riley to close the deal, and he can't. in fairness, he's like, 0-for-his last 30 in attempts to trade for stars. i wonder if riley will retire if he can't land giannis after ONCE AGAIN being identified as the preferred destination for a star.

will really suck if the clippers ended up trading zubac for jaylen brown. like, wow.

 

To be honest i dont think that in question. I think the only question is how much. Lakers want him, Luka want and he himself wants to be in La with Lakers. It will be more of a surprise if he is not a Laker.

 

Abeer you said it right there brotha. The Clippers traded Zubac for Jaylin Brown. Wow.

 

Rui has the talent and played well when Lebron was out and plays great in the playoffs. The but is Lakers have to get more athletic defensive and Rugged. So if Ausin is a lock to return and if Lebron return as well thats were it gets tricky with Rui. Its not because he is a bad player but may need to add pieces to try and address needs. I found it crazy when reports said These guys have next to no value.

 

Rich Paul is a soiled trash bucket.

 

If it does happen, would be great if DJJ is in the trade and we can re-route him here

 

Reports are that the Lakers supposedly want to bring back Rui and Hayes.

If Rui is given a slight raise to 19-million, it would leave the Lakers with 29 million in cap-room.

If we operate under the cap and Lebron takes 20-million, it would leave a 9-million cap-room slot, and a 9.4-million room-excepton slot available. Hayes could sign for a number close to his 6.5m cap-hold.

If we operate over the cap, we might be able to fit Lebron in for 30m, Hayes 6.5m and Kennard for 7m under the 1st-apron. We would then have the 15m MLE, which could be split up into two 7.5m slots.
