Deal Done

[Pelicanidae]

For once, I'm telling you: I think you undershot our trade.

If we move 4 to Hawks, I'd expect it to be 8 + 17 or even 8 + 10.

I'd certainly prefer 8+10 but I'm not pushing my luck hope you're right

[Pelicanidae]

I really feel like these kids could step up big time getting away from that cesspool.

If we flip them, we flip them.....but I think they'll be better here than they were there.

I don't have much faith in them as players. I've said before that I think they can improve, particularly in certain aspects (rebounding, Ingram, rebounding!) but hopefully they prove me wrong.

I've said all along that if we ended up making the LA trade, I HOPE that I was wrong about everything.

Here's hoping they outperform my expectations.

That is, if we even keep them.

I can’t begin to tell you how true this is. Not just Brandon, but his family and team as well. https://t.co/eRmVLPH6bo

Has anyone found out if we tried to push Hill in the deal? Hate that they have cap space for another FA.

Let’s hope that played a part in his lack of development thus far. There really aren’t many better organizations for young players than New Orleans.

Also, if Anthony screws over the Lakers, I will forgive him for everything, no matter the motive.

Now it's more than just Ramona...

This is a Nets-Celtics like deal for the Lakers, who between picks they fork over and swap rights could hand over some high picks down the line. But this is a deal you have to make. Davis a transcendent talent and LBJ is running out of elite years.

They may not, if it helps. It depends on when the trade officially goes down, if Griff pushes it to the moratorium then it will clip just enough of LA's cap space that they won't have a max slot.

I actually do like Ball. We have to get shooters. Have to. But I like his game with Zion.

But you know my love for Payton. So I want Ball gone and Elfrid resigned. I am your ally on this one. Move him for a C or SF and bring my Elfy back!

You got something against guards that can shoot?

[JJackisangry]

Add Ball to the deal and get 8, 10, 17

Why would ATL do that when they already have Trae at the PG position?

Haha. A pro-gun Brit, eh?

Shhhhhhh just let it happen

[Taker597]

If Ball is going anywhere. It's probably Chi.

Any chance lonzo leaves his dad in Los Angeles?

If Ball can just hit some goddamn free throws, he's actually a pretty good piece to have.

I agree, if Ball can literally double his FT percentage this year, he'll be significantly better.

[Mythrol]

Do we know swap rights are for sure involved? I'm not assuming anything.

I don't think anyone is acting like anything is for sure involved. Everyone has been pretty clear that it's a huge *if*

It's funny that he could "literally double" his ft avg... and still only be "pretty good". ��

[JJackisangry]

Ingram is happy abou the trade apparently. LA was THAT bad

[Pelicanidae]

It's funny that he could "literally double" his ft avg... and still only be "pretty good". ��

It's kinda tragic that if he doubled his FT%, he would still only be about as good a FT shooter as AD. A 6'11 center.

There is no way Lonzo spends a single minute in a Pelz uniform --- book it!

Any source on that, or just your prediction?
