Bet we dont do it. Watch him go to Sacramento or some goofy shit
Inconsistent player who shows flashes of very good play convinces team to keep him. I feel like the Lakers would use this stretch to sell high.
Very interesting. If Nets want him seems like they could get him.
If The Lakers don’t think he’s a winning player then why should The Nets want him.
Let him stay in ATL especially since they want someone else to pay for their mistake.
Hawks fans want us to save them but if we’re the only bidders that we shouldn’t give up a lot.
It isn’t “unrealistic” because Russell is playing getter. Give me a fucking break.
It’s unrealistic because the Lakers can’t afford Murray.
I’ve read that the Hawks think they’re owed the exact payment for the Spurs trade aka three unprotected picks. It ain’t happening
DJM is a player that could solve all of our problems and even increase his value playing on the nets after not having to play behind another star of like Trae. He’s a pass first point guard that would elevate everyone elses game, averaged 21/8/9 in his last year in the Spurs as the main guard, has all star upside, is on a good contract, and is the same age as Mikal. It’s naive to think Ben Simmons will play for the rest of the year and has any future with us after next year so going after DJM is the right move depending on the price
