Windhorst Blazers have started to indicate they won't trade the No 3 pick So I checked in with Lillard's side of things amp I was told unequivocally 'No' Dame does not want a youth movement He wants to play with vets He wants the team to upgrade fast amp get vet players that can help him now

Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together

Windhorst The people on the league I'm talking to today are giving me the side eye and they're going this is going end up with Draymond getting a new contract in GS LeBron getting a new contract in LA and AD getting a new contract in Washington

Windhorst If LeBron Doesnt Make Up His Mind Soon Hell Likely Be Out Of LA If LeBron isnt ready to make up his mind the consequence is increasing the chance of the Lakers moving on I think LeBron fully understands that

Windhorst The LA Clippers have quietly been visiting draft prospects expected to be taken in the late lottery range in the last few days This could signal a trade of Leonard to Miami No 13 or Golden State No 11 and LA trading No 5 to Milwaukee for Jaylen Brown

Windhorst It's been communicated to me that the number one thing for LeBron next season is happiness not money I have clearance to use this quote attributed to Rich Paul 'The Lakers are not and will not annoy us'

Windhorst reacts to the Trae Young contract I think this is instantaneously one of the worst contracts in the league I don't mean to be mean I don't think they could trade this contract unless they attach the number 1 pick to it
