Matt Barnes The Lakers were giving up too much. From a NOLA standpoint, you're never gonna get another AD. But you're getting 5 young players + draft picks. How do you not pull that trigger As a Laker fan, I'm glad that trade didn't go down.

Draymond says he was surprised at the Reaves contract I didn't expect the Lakers to go so high On a team where you had Austin Luka and LeBron the team didn't fare as well as one would hope I thought Lakers would stand pat and negotiate it down Austin had some struggles in the playoffs

Price It would take something real for the Lakers to want to trade Bronny they developed him theyre a fan of him and he has a lot of supporters in the building

Vecenie during his live draft show The Knicks did trade 24 for 25 straight up The Lakers just move up one spot for free Charania said the Knicks are trying to trade 25 as well So I think they probably ran out of time and said to the Lakers 'Do you guys want to go We'll let you move up'

Bill Simmons Pod Simmons on Lakers' moves I'm just dumbfounded I just don't get it Goldsberry What are we doing with Walker Kessler We are the Los Angeles fing Lakers We go after George Mikan Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Shaq

Vlade Divac on why he didn't draft Luka I already had Fox who I had a good relationship with so I would have to trade him The small market was a perfect fit for Fox Luka is a big market player if I get him I may lose him down the road

Charania The Golden State Warriors had the opportunity to acquire Jaylen Brown at the trade deadline for four first-round picks but the Warriors decided against it Golden State also had an opportunity to trade for Anthony Davis which wouldve given them a better chance at signing LeBron James
