Woj: Lakers and Mavs working on S&T for Lin

[konex]

Sources: Dallas engaging Lakers on sign-and-trade options for free agent Jeremy Lin. Mavs low on space to sign him to market-level deal.

What do the Mavs have that we want? Picks?

[34-24 Footwork]

I'll take Amare, even though most laker fans don't want em. Dude has PLENTY to prove.

[HylianNightmare]

For Bernard James and Charlie V hopefully

[brownmamba00]

EricPincus: Lakers liked Justin Anderson a lot in the draft, he was easily #27 if he fell - naturally he didn't (21st) long shot Dallas give him up

something like Anderson + 2nd rounder

A future first round pick and cash should do it

the expiring contract of Ray Felton and a 3 way S&T w/Indiana involving Hibbert and Monta are probably what the talks center on

Didn't Monta just sign 4 years with Indiana?

Why would the Lakers want the corpse of Raymond Felton on this team when they already have Russell and Lou Williams at PG? Not to mention Jordan Clarkson..

Dallas is going to have to throw in a 1st round pick if they want Lin.

Raymond Felton for BBQ ribs and a playstation 3. Not giving up sh1t else for him.

Bingo.

This is kind of too bad.

I think this opens up like 10 million of cap room if we do the Ellis sign and trade (perhaps more if we dump Felton in the deal along the way)...I'd have rather gone out and gotten a guy like Lou Williams on a good 3 year contract than overpay Lin for a year with that space.

No. No he doesn't.

- 0 athleticism
- cant rebound
- cant score unless spoonfed aside from a wide open 15 footer
- cant defend

Wow....Dafuq are you talking about? Dude battled through some serious injuries, I'll take a healthy Amare.

Lol @ dumping lin on the Mavs. Get it done.

You'll be lucky if the Mavs are only overpaying Lin for one year. The kind of deals they've been signing this offseason, I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas offered Lin 3 years 24 mill in a S&T. Dude is BFFs with Parsons
