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

Pelinka What did those teams Detroit San Antonio and OKC have to go through to build through the draft Multiple seasons of losses and that is just not part of our infrastructure here As much as some of us might want it to be that way its not the Lakers way

Fischer Last Tuesday I said that there were many people around the league who thought that LeBron should take a veteran minimum salary It does not sound like that is actually in the cards at all I wanna be very very clear about that after some text messages and phone calls I received

Rob Pelinka on LeBron We probably haven't seen a player that has honored the game to the extent that he's honored the game He's given so much to his teammates to this organization The thing we want to do more than anything else is to honor him back

Charania Minnesota Lakers Celtics Heat Knicks those are the teams that had interest in Giannis at the deadline You think about teams like Miami and Minnesota those were more back and forth engagement conversations Then you had teams like CLE LAL BOS NYK that just checked in

Bontemps Let's call a spade a spade The Pacers made that trade because they're cheap Ivica Zubac is a good player but they made that trade amp gave up a premium to get him because he's on a very good contract so they could probably stay under the luxury tax which they haven't paid in 20 years

James Harden postgame when asked about his aggressivess - Its a team game so if the ball is moving to get shots thats for the betterment of the team
