WOJ TRADE UPDATE!: Lakers, 76ers, Suns, Celtics, Clippers, Mavericks

WOJ TRADE UPDATE!: Lakers, 76ers, Suns, Celtics, Clippers, Mavericks

Will face the math tonight their first game since learning that embiid will undergo a procedure on his left knee and miss an extended period of time the man who broke that news Adrian wowski joins us now so Woods what do we know right now about this procedure in the upcoming

Time frame uh Matt Philadelphia expects that they’ll have a better idea on what the recovery timeline’s going to be after the procedure this is a player who’s had multiple knee surgeries with his size 7 fo1 280 lb these aren’t simple it’s not simple to just lay out a

Timeline but in talking to people around uh this situation the door is not closed in the minds of the people in Philadelphia on a return this season for Joel embiid but they will know more after this procedure that is expected here in the coming days and I and I hate

To put you on the spot when you say this season are you talking does that include postseason are you talking regular season for this season or is that the whole encompassing yeah I think the door is not closed on a return in the regular season but again it is going to be

They’ll have a clear picture after this procedure yeah fluid situation in Philadelphia in a loaded East you can’t afford to miss the MVPs missed 14 games this season Philadelphia 4- 10 in his absence want to get to the trade deadline now just three days away 300 p.m. Eastern on Thursday so look we

Always ID a couple of teams we want to keep an eye on during the trade deadline what are you hearing about the Lakers and their approach I think the Lakers like a a lot of other teams who really want to approve improve they do not see in the marketplace very many difference

Makers who are available one of them is dejon Murray in Atlanta they have talked with the Hawks on deante Murray I think both teams expect they will talk again before the deadline on Thursday but I think losing Jared vanderbel I’m told potentially for the rest of the season

You know their best defender it makes it even harder in LA to think uh that one of these marginal moves around the edges is going to make a significant impact right La can trade one first round pick right now with the trade deadline they’ll have three first round picks

Available uh at the draft July 1 in July one you see 26 and 25 ninth in the west squaring that play in discussion you would think they would make a move to get more comfortably into the postseason always comfortable with his Insight wo thank you thanks Matt Adrian W ask you w

What more can you tell us about Vanderbilt status moving forward mik I’m told that Jared Vanderbilt has suffered what was described to me as a significant right foot injury there’s concern that he could be lost for the rest of the season they’re Consulting with Specialists this weekend going through uh that foot

Injury on Vander bolt Malika but uh at the minimum I’m told that he’s out for several weeks and very well could be out for the rest of the season the Lakers have been without Gabe Vincent you they’re uh along with Jared uilt maybe their two best a point of attack

Defenders for most of this season with Vincent out and now that certainly has to figure into the calculus for the Lakers for Rob palenka is they head into the uh final days before Thursday’s trade deadline uh because this is not a marketplace right now where there are a

Lot of difference makers available and the Lakers do not have significant assets to add to this team and now you know if you are bringing in a player how much does he move the needle with a team that very well could be without Vanderbilt now for the rest of the

Season the Lakers could get to the off season have three first round picks available in the summer to do deals they’ll keep working at it until Thursday uh but Vanderbilt the possibility of him lost being lost to the season now that impacts trade deadline too yeah absolutely we’re just

Five days away from the NBA trade deadline W thank you so very much I just want to underscore how important Vanderbilt is to this team he’s the guy right who’s been tasked with guarding opponents best players so I know this is when Nicks fans are smiling saying hey

Uh we’re short-handed too that’s no excuse we’re without o and Obi for the fourth straight game we’re without Quinton Grimes we without Julius Randall we without Mitchell Robinson yes that is true the win streak is still strong but the Lakers they just haven’t proven Bob

To have that kind of plug in place when we hear that from WJ how do you maximize the rest of the season for them it’s hard Malika I mean Gabe Vincent Vanderbilt these guys were signed this is arguably their seventh eighth maybe sixth seventh man on the team and

They’re going to miss him and and the fact that have had Vincent the whole year those are big blows they may not seem for the people watching to be a big deal they’re not the stars but to do anything and to move forward and get through a season a rigorous season in

The west you need those guys so now they don’t have them and you say you compare them to the Knicks the Knicks are a deeper team than the Lakers they have a deeper team they’ve got more depth and they’re showing it obviously with this n90 game winning streak the Lakers this

Is concerning right because like w said it’s they have more picks in the off season only have one now to use not a lot of trade assets it’s going to be hard for them to thread this needle like Rob pinka did last last year I want to bring Stephen A back into this

Conversation yeah well listen here’s the deal y’all we got to call it like we see it which we always do Mike wilbon has been telling us for a while the Lakers just ain’t that damn good the Clippers are better the Denver Nuggets the randing defended Champions are better Minnesota’s better Oklahoma City’s

Better Phoenix looks better Sacramento looks better that’s six seven teams right there so if you’re the Los Angeles Lakers dare I say we have to consider what I brought up the other day on first take when you talk about trading LeBron James let me not steal credit away from

My colleague Alan Han who was the first to mention it on get up I understand that it’s a likelihood that’s p in the sky that that can’t happen but it can all change if LeBron James asks for it to happen Okay that’s the condition under which this could transpire so what

Do you have you have a Lakers Squad that has basically one dra draft available to them until the year 2030 the New York Knicks have four first round picks this upcoming draft two first round picks next year and 11 picks over the next s years you call a Los Angeles Lakers you

Make sure you get somebody in front of LeBron James you say yo with Jaylen Brunson and the rest of the crew even if we probably have to trade Julius Randle we got a chance to win a CHP here in New York City what’s up okay and you look at

The Los Angeles Lakers and you say we’ll give you four first round picks we’ll give you a junior R if I’m the Lakers I’m saying no Sten and super agent Rich Paul the sports has also said at least for now they are not requesting more importantly Malik

There’s no Stephen A it’s a great scenario it’s a great scenario but the don’t build in Los Angeles you don’t build in Southern California what franchise does that you got the Clippers moving into a new dome in town with four hall of famers playing together and a

Threat to win this year so you’re going to let the Clippers own Southern California the next few but if you’re the Lakers and if you’re the Lakers you say no we’re not taking draft picks we don’t build we reload we this is not the process this ain’t Philly hasn’t work

We’re not doing that Bob well have you been on the other side of these types of calls well Stephen a um I know you’re Nicks fan and I know you’re tired of being the most famous guy in New York and LeBron would clearly be more famous

Than you let’s just be honest about that there’s no argument there and I understand why you want LeBron the only one but that’s well yeah exactly the one guy now you’re there tonight we’ll see if you can actually have some time to recruit him because that’s how it would have to happen the

Beauty of LeBron james’ situation is he can go wherever he wants right LeBron James has earned that he can say I want to stay in La y I want to go play for the Knicks I’d like him to play for the Warriors that would be a nice thing you

Know hey I want to go play for the Warriors he has that player option no team’s trading for him unless he says I want to go there and the Lakers certainly aren’t trading LeBron James unless he says I don’t want to be there I don’t see any any indication if

Stephen A has three hours tonight to convince him to go to the Knicks otherwise I think can I say this one point may I say may I say this one point right now I never dreamed in my wildest dreams that I would be in a position to say this especially standing on the

Court of Madison Square Garden the New York Knicks if you’re LeBron James for the Los Angeles Lakers the only reason to look at them as a better scenario than the New York Knicks right now is the weather that’s it they have nothing else on the New York Knicks right now ring right now

And I never thought I’d say that Stephen I never thought I’d say you can look at next year you can look at the summer you he’s got to opt out but again one more time the compensation what can you see the Los Angeles Lakers saying let’s take

Picks and build over a 5e period That’s not Southern it only happens you know what y’all didn’t say yes what you know what you didn’t say nobody said this I said if LeBron asked if LeBron said to the Lakers Willborn Bob I W out yes you trying to tell me

They say no anyway yeah no look I sure yes in that scenario if he asked that I want to go play for the Knicks the crazy thing is is these little Emojis with the hourglass did you see what it’s almost like did you see what Darin ham said

Before the game he said that if it were him he would hey what’s up Jag from jagy Sports here it’s about that time let’s talk about NBA trades 3 days away W you breaking it down basically saying embiid is possibly out for the season but then again possibly coming back after two

Months we’ll see what the uh surgical repair says how damaging it actually is and where do the 76ers go from here it’s it’s tough right because you got 3 days away from the trade deadline you don’t know what you’re going to do you do not know if you’re going to go after a

Certain player because if you are and then you find out embiid is done for the season then it was kind of like why the hell did you go after that player so if they wait and let’s just say hypothetically they don’t make any trades they will have $55 million to

Spend this coming off season I don’t want them to see their season go to waste as ieci the fact that Maxi is playing unreal but that’s just reality right now because yeah I feel bad for embiid he was having the uh season of his life and all of a sudden this happens

So you know we don’t know what’s going to happen um there were a number of possibilities that could have came for the 76ers but you know including Jordan Clarkson Lori marinan uh bonovich which was talked about but now we don’t know we have no idea what’s actually going to

Take place until we find out the prognosis of embiid’s return which is either he’s one to two months or he’s done for the season so we’ll we’ll wait on that and for the Lakers WJ said that considering that Jared Vander is pretty much out for the season most likely they don’t see

Any potential trades that will move the needle unless you get dejonte Murray but even if you get dejonte Murray it’s not like it’s like going to be a crazy crazy impact so do they sit still because if they sit still and wait till the off season you have up to three first round

First round picks to trade for in a possible deal as of July 1st right now you only have one so right now the current uh possibility is um their first rounder from last year first rounder from 2029 and um de D’Angelo Russell for Deonte Murray that’s still

On the table we don’t know if Atlanta is going to go for that or not but that is still on the table so we’ll wait and see on that and there’s a plethora of rumors out there Mel Bridges is guaranteed to go to Phoenix Suns Andre Drummond

Getting um uh interest from the Lakers the Suns the Celtics maybe the oklah Oklahoma City Thunder right uh Clippers are interested in PJ Washington um probably Giving Up Bones Highland for that one and then you have Kyle kozma Kyle kosma going to Dallas possibly they’re looking into that for sure TUS Jones

He’s always talkable this guy barely has a turnover a lot of teams are interested in him Bruce Brown he’s a name to be talked about as well Jordan Clarkson Lori marinan they’re on the move as well then this one is a pretty interesting one because bucks are pretty

Much one and three since Doc Rivers took over and they’re not looking too good so they got to make a move and a possible move is po Bobby poris Jr for Grant Williams in Dallas that’s just a possibility we don’t know that for a fact but that is being talked about

Especially 3 days out from the trade deadline now you know there are other rumors out there but uh nothing significant value I know Dennis schreuder’s name comes up for the Lakers I don’t know if that’s actually going to happen or not um Raptors they they’re they’re uh asking

Price for every sing single player is pretty high and yeah there’s a number of people a number of teams out there that want um some highlevel players a name was that was talked about that could still very well happen I know Zack LaVine is going to be out for four to

Six months so he’s out for the season but it’s still on the table um it was on the table before uh that uh he got his injury but now it’s still on the table is bogonovich and Joe Harris for Zack lavine’s contract I’m guessing because of such a massive

Contract that Detroit Pistons are going to probably get a pick in return as well um multiple picks in exchange for Alex Caruso that is the asking price everybody keeps uh asking the Nets about Mel Bridges Mel Bridges is like uh I think the asking price was first five first round picks

Possibly that could happen possibly not I personally don’t think so Nets love Mel Bridges d’angel Russell I know they’re trying to get a third team involved that could be the Nets the Jazz are still are also interested in um dejonte Murray and the Sacramento Kings can join Dallas Mavericks on that list

To to actually go after Kyle kozma which has got a very very friendly contract 25 per and in the last season he’s making 19 per so that is a very favorable contract a lot to think about in the next 3 days leave a comment in the comment section as always tell me what

You guys think who’s going where big 72 hours guys big 72 hours buckle up Jag from jagy Sports
