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

[StephHamann]

something like Anderson + 2nd rounder

Are you on drugs?

[kentatm]

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.

His value is that he has a decent sized expiring contract that the Lakers could use down the road in a trade.

He is also a pretty damn good teammate and the kind of guy that is good for a bench b/c he works hard in practice and doesn't complain about PT. (at least that was the case in Dallas)


and at a first rounder for Lin

Didn't Monta just sign 4 years with Indiana?

he has agreed to terms but nobody can ink a deal until July 9. This gives teams a chance to try to work out S&Ts for players they are losing.

[christian1923]

No. No he doesn't.

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

Sounds like a you didn't watch any amare last year

Good god no.

We could let Lin walk for nothing and you guys wouldn't be able to sign him since you're way over the cap. Dallas is going to have to give up at least a draft pick if they want Lin.

[Lebron23]

Stephamman made the right prediction.

Dallas will need to give up something whether it's a rookie or a first round pick, Lakers ain't helping out Mark Cuban for free.

You aren't getting a first rounder for facilitating ****ing sign and trade with Jeremy Lin.

Unless Cuban is still drunk...

and at a first rounder for Lin

Houston GAVE us a first rounder to take him last year

[StephHamann]

Second rounder at best. Maybe Dwight Powell, but giving up Anderson would destroy our nice offseason.

[34-24 Footwork]

Man...I used to think I was another delusional laker fan, but some of you are really fvcking stupid and under estimate NBA players who aren't necessarily household names.

Hibbert, Williams and potentially Amare are GREAT additions considering how fast the free agency market is drying up.

[imnew09]

I dont mind anything. Just dump him

[34-24 Footwork]

And quite frankily, after Marc Gasol got punked by Draymond Gree in the playoffs, it was too reminiscent of 2008 Pau Gasol.

no thanks send your trash to philly not LA.

Lakers aren't giving Lin up to the Mavs for free. They could let him walk for free. Mavs gotta give up at least a draft pick if they want Lin.

Free is relative.

You aren't getting a first round pick. Not a future pick (not even sure we can trade one) or Justin Anderson.

We are "punting" on this season unless something crazy happens anyway. And aren't giving up anything real for a 1 year rental of an average pg.
