Windhorst NBA executives believe the substantial return for Jaren Jackson Jr could reshape the Memphis Grizzlies approach making them more willing to absorb undesirable contracts alongside draft capital in a potential Ja Morant deal

Windhorst 2 days ago the Lakers and Austin Reaves' camp were pretty far apart in their discussions about where his contract would land Then the Lakers yesterday pivoted increasing their offer somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50 per season

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

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

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
