Do you think that the lakers will not make any moves for the sake of off-season moves?
I just wanted your honest opinion on the possiblity of no trade action when the deadline comes.
Just give a percentage of not trading or trading please. |

i would say it's probably an 85% chance there's no moves - but it depends on how the brian cook think resolves - he's a good kid so I bet it just blows over.
If the probability changes I'll post it here - but I just don't think the lakers are going to do much.
they want walton back - then kwame - then mihm - that's 3 acquisitions - in their mind they're a better team just by getting healthy.

there's not much to do - most trades won't impact the season - they'd be lateral moves. I'm not a fan of Ely - most players they land won't crack the rotation.
I'd trade more players than they'd be willing to - but if you moved Smush right now - unless they got a better pg in return the team will be worse for it.
I wouldn't take any bad contracts - or problem players that I didn't believe in.
Have you ever tried to make a trade in a fantasy league? People are so unreasonable. That's about how it is in the NBA - but far more complicated.
If Kwame wasn't hurt - I'd say something else - but his trade value is a low right now since he's hurt - no one wants to take on injured players.
