seem to have stood pat. All the guys we talked about went elsewhere, most for cheap. Now we dance with the partner that we came with.

There weren’t any deals worth making.
A lot of tire kickin’ though 🙂
Pitiful part is most all the good teams got better.
Most of the decent ones fetched a 1st rounder, and not one 5 years away. The Lakers had one bullet in the chamber due to all the poor personnel decisions they’ve made over the years. The only worthwhile assets they had, they couldn’t afford to part with for a fringe move here or there. All in all, they did nothing, much like they’ll do in the playoffs.
The Lakers main targets were not traded. Click bait guys were throwing names around but when you look at the guys that true insiders said the Lakers were targeting only maybe Royce O’Neil who went for 3 seconds was moved. Dinwiddie had some interest as well but we can still get him on the buy out market.
Didn’t have enough for Murray (without possibly giving up Reaves). PJ Washington demanded a 1st. Bojan and Burks were had for 2nd’s + Grimes who I guess they wanted. Gafford looks like he went cheap. Hayward was a salary dump. Even Olynyk fetched a first for this upcoming draft. Lakers had nothing much to part with and that’s what they ended up getting.
Trader Tom is so bummed nothing happened, he can’t even bring himself to post about another beatdown last night.
