Rumor: Lakers actively looking to trade the #2 - should the Celts make an offer?

[Tr1boy]

Thoughts?

They want vets

[Roy H.]

I don't think we've got what they're looking for.

The Lakers are looking for the same guys that we are looking for.

IT plus Crowder plus 16,23,31

For

Number 2 , Jordan Clarkson?

[Tr1boy]

Kings could trade cousins for the number 2. But would Walton like that??

To Kings - number 2, Clarkson, randle
To lakers- 2016 kings 1st, cousins

[hpantazo]

As others said, they want established all-stars. They must be targeting Cousins or Butler or Blake Griffin.

I could unfortunately see something like this framework potentially happening.

So IT is not an all star at the same level ?

wow, talk about 2 incredibly lopsided deals in favor of the Lakers --> what are you thinking, that they'll pull off another Pau-like heist?  C's aren't giving up their best 2 starters and 3 picks for #2 and Clarkson nor would Sac be that stupid to give up Cousins for that pitiful package nevermind including their own first rounder.

They got the pick that controls the market. I think we will lose too much to make this trade possible..

But you get the number 2, 3 of the draft

Yes we love IT and Jae but not sure if they can take us to the next level.

I don't believe it.  Why would they shop the #2? With Kobe off the books they have tons of cap space to sign free agents and still keep the pick. Derozan would slot right into Kobe's position.

I rate the odds of Cousins or Butler being traded as very low.

Oh Ye I also forgot to mention that there is no way that they would give up their lottery pick if they aren't getting one back in return xD

Chicago reportedly likes Dunn and wants a pg in the draft. I wonder if they would trade Butler to the Lakers then select Dunn which would leave us with one of Ingram/Simmons. Wishful thinking but anything is possible.

2017 pick issue

They don't want to become the 76ers
