D’Angelo Russell: “I can’t control that my contract makes sense to be traded, so, just play.”

When asked about waiving his implied no-trade clause this summer, he said: “I just thought it made sense. … I know what the requirements are to be successful here are.”

LeBron James was not willing to talk about potential trade deadline moves:

"This is who we have, so there's nothing else to talk about."

LeBron was again asked if the Lakers have enough to win a championship:

"That's not a question for me. I love who we have in the locker room, and that's all I worry about... I don't get caught up in that. We're gonna go out and prepare ourselves every single night no matter who's out there. It's my job and it's AD's job as the two captains to make sure we keep the main thing the main thing and the main focus is now, Thursday's game at home. We look forward to that matchup."

Clippers beat the Hawks 149-145

Dejounte Murray has helped the Hawks go on a 4 win game streak prior to this loss by taking over in the 4th quarter/OT

This may be Murray's last game as a Hawk

No matter if he's traded or not, take some time to appreciate his play on the court.

Anthony Davis called Kobe Bryant his "big brother" and "mentor" so it "will be a cool moment" to see his statue even if emotions will be high when it gets unveiled.

Eazy AD

“Dejounte Murray cant shoot”

Gabe Vincent/hood schifino and 3 seconds for miles bridges?

Dallas lol

"Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka was "stuck on calls" all day, a team source told ESPN, discussing potential deals."

I hope you enjoyed Hayes play on the court recently

because hes most likely gone after the deadline

"The only available Lakers asset that teams truly covet is their 2029 first rounder.

Despite LeBron James wanting L.A. to approach the deadline with an "all-in" mentality, the odds of marginal or zero moves have increased"

Teams asking for Reaves

"Any big trade the Lakers would make must feature D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and/or Gabe Vincent, but rival teams aren’t looking to take any of those players without assets attached."

The Lakers will wear their Black Mamba jerseys Thursday vs. the Nuggets after the unveiling of Kobe Bryant’s bronze statue earlier in the day:

Dennis Schroder and Kyle Lowry, two possible back PG options for the Lakers, are being monitored by the Minnesota Timberwolves

“Toronto’s Dennis Schröder and Kyle Lowry, who was recently traded from Miami to Charlotte, and likely will be moving on via trade or buyout are two other names on the radar. Finch coached Lowry for half of a season in Toronto before he was hired to take over in Minnesota.”

Per Jon Krawczynski

we move

Buha is a fraud but it’s commence sense the only thing the Lakers have is that 2029.

There are zero trades out there right now. Just let the team play.

Brooklyn can potentially help facilitate utilizing Spencer Dinwiddie’s expiring contract.

"The Nets continue be a team to monitor for D’Angelo Russell, if the Lakers and Hawks eventually find common ground on a Dejounte Murray trade"

per Sam Amick

After shooting 6-29 (20.7%) from three in his first 14 games this season, Max Christie has shot 24-for-58 (41.4%) from distance in his last 28 games.

He's currently shooting 34.5% from 3 for the season.

bring Caruso home

Hayes might be gone but Rob might also trade Christian Wood for tax reasons.
