I've notice that some who "just want truth" on X are some of the most unhinged, detached from reality, people on the planet.

Oh stop. Duffy represents Luka as well and would have known the plan when he opted in. He would have been promised a trade because he wouldn't want to back up Kessler in a contract year. Things will fall into place with the extra picks and cap room. Things are being worked out behind the scenes. I know it's hard to believe that not all talk details make it to X
English
Rob traded his only back up center with no other moves lined up. That's crazy
English
@Prophet_Logic17 @LakersLegacyPod Scoring isn't going to be the Lakers problem, keeping the other team from scoring is the problem. Rui just isn't a need.
English
@MikeRunner14 @LakersLegacyPod You have enough outside shooting lol
English
Won’t complain too much about Kuminga if we secure him, but-
The Process here - choosing him over Rui - is perplexing.
Feels like ‘Grass Is Always Greener’, Just Cus He’s Explosive type mentality.
I’d hope they sign him to a Team controlled 2yrs. Or he’s just another Renegade.

Per Khobi Price , Jonathan Kuminga has become a "significant priority" for the Lakers: "On the wings, the Lakers are still exploring adding Jonathan Kuminga to their roster. Kuminga is drawing interest from other teams, but the unrestricted free agent forward is a significant priority for the Lakers." si.com/nba/lakers/ons…

@CanWeTalkLakers It's funny that you think Jake is directly quoting the front office.
English
It’s funny that the Lakers FO thinks they can pitch “contending” to free agents
🎯@AustinThreeves
Fischer: Lakers are very in on Kuminga and maintain contact and gave him a pitch of playing with Luka and contending.

SURVEY: Was the Mickey Mouse Tournament the most embarrassing thing the NBA ever did?

@Neelothatnga @Lakersallthewa3 He doesn’t play above the rim he’s just tall. An above the rim center would’ve been a much better fit, someone who can actually jump
English
The lack of athleticism jumps off the highlights :(
🦅@deadboylyfee
I’m shakin bruh we don’t gotta worry about the Center spot for a longgg time Focus shifts to the wing/forward spots going forward, would be HUGE if Thiero and Carr breakout at some point in the future (I really do believe they will)
English
@CanWeTalkLakers For his size and strength, he moves very well. I'm not overly concerned about his vertical leap.
English
@Ralph_MasonJr His style of play fits very well with Luka and AR.
English
I’m still trying to comprehend giving Mamu 52M guaranteed over 4yrs when your starting point is Luka and AR
English
@faymett @Ralph_MasonJr We need that, especially if we trade Vando.
English
@Ralph_MasonJr Think about him as an enforcer for Luka, not gonna be many cheap shots on the Don when Mamu is around.
English
@HollywoodTastic @SlimSleepr Luka and Hayes have the same agent, who's involved in team planning. Luka absolutely knew about it before it happened
English
@SlimSleepr Luka isn’t making these decisions are you guys out of you mind haha pelinka doesn’t have a plan he just does stuff he’s not getting lukas approval for this shit. We had a mad man running the team
English
@SlimSleepr @Sauga416 They have the same agent so everyone would have been talking. Idk other than Luka wouldn't have been blindsided by it.
English
@Lakerschipp He had a bad experience in LA. He was never coming back if he had other options. I'm fine with that.
English
Idk why Lakers fans want him he’s not a lob threat or a shot blocker.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Free agent center Andre Drummond has agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million to sign with the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN.
English
@RayLokar @LALBetter Seriously? That's awesome. I understand the first comment. Lol.
English
@MikeRunner14 @LALBetter Every time I hear his name I'm contractually obligated to say Bill Duffy was the first player to ever dunk on me. (And I said first for a reason)
English
The Deandre Ayton trade is complete and utter mismanagement. This is the first time I’ve ever questioned Rob Pelinka’s competence.
English
@SteppersLa @OVOLakeShow Nah. This was a move to make other moves. It had nothing to do with a guard, it had to do with a little room and the two picks. A thought would be that it will take attaching two 2nd round picks to trade Vando to create space. I'm surprised we got 2 picks.
English
@OVOLakeShow Because nobody respect Rob and not doing him any favors they pretty much giving him whatever they feel they don’t need ,they have like 7wings but we didn’t get one ,because they know he’s trying to clear cap Space and desperate.
English
WHY DID WE TRADE FOR A GUARD
PLEASE REROUTE THE SECONDS WITH LARAVIA FOR A WING
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Just in: The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Deandre Ayton to the Washington Wizards for Jaden Hardy and two Wizards second-round picks in 2031 and 2032, sources tell ESPN.
English
@LakerGOAT17 @aqouraa @TrevorLane Exactly. This is a move ahead of at least another move. No way to get off of Vando without at least attaching 2 second-round picks.
English
@aqouraa @TrevorLane Now we can attach 2 second rounders and the swap to get off of either Vando, DK, Or laravia to crate space to get us a wing.
Then we can find a big on the minimum market (bigs are easier to get at that price then wings are)
Big Time move
English
Wow, so much for the Kessler-Ayton center pairing

English
@aqouraa @TrevorLane A little cap room and especially the two picks. This deal opens the way for other deals. I'm surprised anyone gave 2 second picks for Ayton.
English
@HeatMizer777 @jameis1of1 @TrevorLane Yep. Luka, Ayton, and Hayes all share an agent in Bill Duffy. Luka and Duffy are involved in team construction. Everyone is in the loop on this. This was a move to make another move.
English
@jameis1of1 @TrevorLane Luka got his man Hardy. He signed off on that move. Luka era taking over
English
@han64compuserve @LALBetter Correct. No way to move Vando without attaching picks.
English
@LALBetter Only way to move vando and Knecht to sign Kuminga or resign Rui. Low IQ
