Windhorst Rival Execs If you want to ever have a dream of prying Jokic out of DEN you've got to be happy that they used their last big trade chip I had somebody say to me if you're the Lakers you'd love seeing that because that means that you're not helping Jokic with like a bona fide star

Windhorst The Los Angeles Lakers would be very open to the prospect of trading LeBron James for Jarrett Allen

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 Okay so if you say to me Giannis has now been traded who would be the next NBA star that you would watch The answer would be Anthony Edwards They are not adding to the team Ant has watched KAT get traded and win a championship Last summer they let NAW go and he goes and wins MIP

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

Windhorst Did they get Jaylen Brown for free

Windhorst The Wizards when they traded for Trae Young promised him a max contract in exchange for sitting out the rest of the season so they could also tank for AJ Dybantsa
