    For what it’s worth, I’ve heard the Pacers have shut down a deal of the 17th pick + a player for Buddy + 22. On top of that, the Pacers might be looking to extend him.

    Pacers are actually looking to package their picks this year for a player that’ll help them win now.

  2. Soaring_Seagull24

    The duo as in both or as in “these two players who play together have interest from the Lakers” ?

  3. Splittinghairs7

    Turner is the real prize, hield is just a better Beasley but nothing special.

  4. Zach1394

    CP3/Dennis, Buddy/Reaves, Bron/Rui, AD/Vando, Myles/TT. That’s a championship

  5. C1ncinnatiBowtie

    If we were the clippers or the Celtics, we’d get them both for a couple second rounders and Beasley.

  6. NoPin5154

    I will actually suck off rob if he gets turner and hield with this pick

  7. jaypooner

    damn is the lakers actually get those 2 for ONLY #17 that would be robbery. to be realistic, i don’t think it will happen

    Get them. Sign CP if waivet. Try to get Oneal or DFS

    CP/Dennis
    Reaves/Hield/Christie
    Lebron/Oneal
    AD/Hachi
    Turner/Vando

    That team would Cook on both sides

  9. Turner NEEDS to happen. A proven two way defensive big who can spread the floor? This is the way.

    Turner is what the Lakers need, AD can move back to the 4 where he is better suited. Two fly swatters defending the paint. He can step out, so spacing remains good for AD & Bron on offense. That would be a really, really good front line for the Lakers.

    how long have we been interested in myles and buddy 💀

    GD, I hope we get them just so we can stop talking about trading for them.

    I wouldn’t mind Buddy and Turner at all. I used to spend hours on here arguing for them when we still had ‘Brick lol

    I think I’d prefer a Nets package now just because Turner gets marginalized in double big lineups because he can do a lot more than spot up, and he’d be less effective in that role than DFS. Running twin towers always seems to work better on paper than in practice since you tend to lose more on offense than you gain on defense. Although there is a compelling argument that he might be better for the Nuggets matchup + LeBron with a stretch 5 would cook bench units. Buddy’s ability to stay on the floor in the playoffs is another question mark too.

    If we actually manage to snatch both of them I’ll get a tattoo of Austin Reaves on the tip of my dick

    KP went for a bench player.

    Why didnt we pursue that trade? Beasley, Bamba and some low picks would work

  16. fuzzynavel34

    As a pacers fan…. Good luck with that. You have absolutely nothing worth trading for

  17. No-Equipment-20

    I’d do 17 for Myles Turner in a heartbeat but I struggle to see Pacers doing it. I think Buddy Hield is very overrated by Lakers fandom and I don’t think he’s even worth swapping FRPs with the Pacers
