[MacMahon] Sources said the Jazz have had discussions about a deal in which a combination of rotation players including Conley and Beasley would go to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for 2027 and 2029 first-round picks and Russell Westbrook, who would likely receive a buyout.

Thunder fan here. This would be such a finesse if both picks are unprotected.
Ainge and Presti are league fleecers
Even as a Lakers hater, 2 firsts, and I won’t mind that trade
So who the fuck would be our playmaker? Our offense looks so lost without Conley.
That being said, those Laker first round picks are going to be pretty spicy in a few years with both LeBron and AD on the decline.
No way you’re getting 2 1st picks for those trash players
Conley isnt worth a 1st. Beasley either isnt worth a 1st. Vando is getting 2nd round pick offers. 1 unprotected pick max for Conley, Beasley, and Vando.
My biggest issue is that it takes one or two good free agent signings in the next couple of years to put those picks out of the lottery
No way in hell the Lakers do that, right?
At this point I want WB on the Jazz for the memes
Can we get rid of Gay and Vando instead of Conley?
I really like Mike’s role right now. A great veteran player who helps our young guys during the rebuild. Won’t be around if/when we are contenders again, but he doesn’t seem to mind that
I’d like to see Westbrook play for us. Surely if he can forgive Pat Bev then he can forgive our racist fans. Lets see what he can do when he is not playing second fiddle to Lebron. We don’t want another Derrick Rose buyout situation.
I hate this
Any trade that involves Conley I’m not onboard for. This is such a mistake.
Oh hey, it’s the deal I mentioned in r/NBA the other day before a bunch of Lakers fans came at me saying they don’t need another guard lol
I would be so happy if this happened. (Except I’d miss Mike)
Funny how just yesterday we were giving up Conley, Beasley, and Vando, taking back Westbrick(and that big salary) and only getting one pick back…. Seemed like an LA dream trade.
I have better sauces and some goated tuna salad.
There’s no mention of protection on the picks. We would need to see those details before I can say I like the rumored deal.
Jesus Christ don’t do this to Conley. Anywhere but the Lakers!
This won’t happen. All the deals that ainge does come out of nowhere unexpectedly.
