Jake Fischer There is almost certainty that the Lakers are going to be making some type of move for some type of big man Walker Kessler Myles TurnerI am not expecting there to be a deal for either

Amick Rob Pelinka and the Los Angeles Lakers are unlikely to make a trade before Thursdays NBA Trade Deadline

Lakers GM Rob Pelinka on the trade deadline I would say we were aggressive And one form of being aggressive is saying no thats like being aggressive even though you end up doing nothing because its hard to say no sometimes to getting a good player

Mannix The Lakers believe they can succeed with a backcourt of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves if they can get the right type of players in the front court They are looking to build a Dallas 20 type roster similar to what Luka had when he went to the NBA Finals

Fischer At this point all this momentum it seems like Minnesota does have the lead Ive heard internally Milwaukee values Minnesotas potential package and Miamis potential package more than Golden States

Zach Lowe on the conversations hes had with every team interested in Giannis They all are a little skeptical that the Bucks are going to move him now one front office person of one of these teams called this a side show Saying this is just for show they arent going to trade him

Fischer Phoenix a team thats in the tax has Nick Richards contract that theyre looking to move that they almost moved to Torontowe got pretty strong word from Sacramento that they dont really think a deals going to happen anytime soon would Toronto pivot back to Nick Richards
