    Bronny got a deal. LMFAO. How many 2nd rounders get a presser and a deal?

    Nate--this is an incredible point. 100000%.

    My guess is he's lying because fans don't want to hear that this is about saving picks on the backend to remain flexible in case LeBron leaves, or AD is hurt for a season, or AD asks out.

    Which actually makes a ton of sense.

    But it's pretty disingenuous.

    Hmmmm that's over $53 million in salary. They'd have to move out a lot of guys to make that work.

    I think he likely meant ONE OF RW3 or Thybulle

    I think he is guessing / fantasy in his head cause he said like a couple FA's to Lakers the other day and then DeMarr to Lakers so I think pulling BEEP out of his ass BUT I hope he is right

    I'm listening to his Twitter "spaces" Laker chat right now--the people on it are fully convinced that the Rui+??+1 pick offer has been made by LA, and Portland is just waiting on LA to offer up the second pick. That that is basically the only holdup on this deal.

    They're also fully convinced that Grant is a massive upgrade over Rui, that he will be a solid POA defender for them, and that a Grant/Lebron/AD frontcourt matches up favorably with Denver's Porter/Gordon/Jokic trio.

    This dude posted this in Octobober 2023. I don't think the Lakers used Mamba jersey at all. In other words, dude is just making his own stories

    Depends on what you want. Vando's an energetic garbageman; Rui's a much better offensive player.
