And considering the lesson learned from early May, when league sources say the Lakers’ concern about how Davis viewed then-coach Darvin Ham played a part in their choice to make that change, it’s clear that his perspective carries significant weight.
Murray, meanwhile, was a player that the Lakers could have had at the February trade deadline if they’d been willing to put Reaves into the deal. He’s a possibility now, as well, but league sources say the Lakers’ stance on Reaves remains the same.

Who is this elite player that the Lakers can get? Murray def isn’t one
I still believe strongly the lakers are big game hunting, it just depends what we think of as big game these days. I know Rob downplayed things, but it’s important to remember the timing. Everything is a negotiation right now.
Murray doesn’t feel like big game, but he seems the most logical.
Easy to say, hard to do
He’s really playing up the idea that Bron and AD can get very pissed very quickly if the Lakers essentially run this back
Either trade the picks or trade AD and start a full on rebuild.
Idk why it’s controversial. This team is good, but not particularly close to be a championship contending team.
And I’m honestly tired of listening to Rob’s lies. Just recently he said that he didn’t trade the pick at the deadline so now they’ll have 3 of them to trade.
Do everything to Strengthen the team or stop wasting everyone’s time.
The article also notes that the Lakers could have had Murray at last seasons trade deadline if they put Reaves in the deal. The Lakers obviously said no then and still don’t want to.
Idk if we can get Murray. Maybe we will get an unreported player, Rob does tend to move in silence sometimes.
I think this is the first time since Bron came to Lakers that he is actually questioning what to do next despite him wanting to play LA.
Reaves for Murray is barely an upgrade, if at all
This is a nonsense article. I absolutely don’t consider Murray elite
This article is more fun to read when you replace “league sources” with “Rich Paul” anytime it’s referring to LeBron or Bronny or “Rob Pelinka” anytime it’s referring to the Lakers.
Unless we are getting a All Star or Reliable 3-4 option I’m not trading that 17th pick
I’d rather we try and round the roster or at least the rotation with two way players. We need guys that can play on both ends. Last two years I felt a big issue was most of our team was one dimensional
What elite player? Already tired of it. So I can watch all thee burn out due to being surrounded by scrubs/Jags by the end of the season?
Hard to happen, Mikal Bridges will help complement Lebron + AD
