We have the most toxic contract in the NBA, even as an expiring deal. Rob is not a talented trade negotiator so the writing is on the wall. He lost a prime trade asset to the Pistons for literally no picks, no consequential players.

Your move Rob. Monday's press conference should be interesting. They are so setting up Russ to fail and be spectacularly scapegoated this year. Ham is new, and Rob/Jeanie won't take the heat either.

Agreed...it's over before it ever gets started.....that's the frustrating part. It's hard enough gong through a wasted year and going through the playoffs without the team in it...but to know that before the season even starts is killer.

Thanks Rob for not letting Ainge swindle you. Thank you for not breaking under the pressure of Laker fans that think they know what's really going on behind the scenes, and are calling for your job.


So if the BATNA for the Jazz was that low, you're telling me Rob couldn't negotiate a deal for just 1 FRP to get Bogs/other expiring deals? Tells me they weren't even willing to offer 1 FRP.

Folks need to look at the first 10 games. Yes, 2 games against the Jazz, but it's a murderer's row and conceivable we are at 2-8 in that first stretch. We have no team identity. At least in 19-20 we were just going to punish you with our size, defense, and shooting.

What is this year's team mantra? We're small?

Probably not...it would've been a 3 way deal then...obviously Utah has zero interest in Russ. It's becoming very clear not one team in the league is interested in Russ...think about that...no team in the entire league wants this guy....that's very telling.

This should NOT be a surprise. Lakers had a better deal for KG back in the day, but he couldn't stomach sending him to LA. If Pau and Kobe went to 3 straight Finals with 2 chips, imagine what Kobe and KG would have done.

Ainge is doing the same thing. All the Lakers need is a sniper to open up the offense for Bron and AD. Ainge knows that and said nope. Not happening.

It is simpler than this conspiracy stuff: we have nothing to trade.

No picks in the deal, as expected.

1. No one wants Russ at 47m unless you are compensating them for this with at least 1 FRP. Any goodies on top of that = another FRP.

2. Based on this, wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers didn't even offer 1 FRP to Utah. I bet Ainge is sitting there laughing while Rob argues that Russ is a positive trade asset and shouldn't require a FRP.

This is a results business. I tire of the excuses from Rob/Jeanie. Either get it done or don't at this point.

Bogs would have been nice, but the Jazz didn't want Russ.

We are rolling with Russ in some shape or form, even if it means not making the playoffs. That's not on the coach, its on the management. They traded all that depth (at the urging of Lebron and AD) for a bologna sandwich.

That's where I think fans get in completely wrong. They would like to move Russ but, If the Lakers were desperate, they would have taken any deal, picks be damed. The didn't trade Russ and include picks because they are not desperate. That is a media/fan perspective.

Lakers want a Westbrook trade where they improve but:

-don’t want to take additional salary beyond this year for their cap space/repeater tax plan.
-don’t want to increase this year’s payroll due to luxury tax concerns.
-don’t want to give up a frp or 2 unless it leads to a championship.

All that means is Westbrook isn’t traded unless it’s for a star, which likely isn’t happening for only those 2 frps in this current market.

Well, there is still the Pacers, Spurs, Hornets, Knicks ... I personally think that the Lakers already have a deal in place for Russ; if not, I cannot believe they will start the season with him, in any event.

Sure. Desperate is hyperbole. There are better words, like eager, motivated, or determined.
