Not too many teams need a moderate to high usage center like Boogie.

bhzmafia14 whats the rumblings around Grizzly nation. Ya'll set on Ja?
Yes, to my knowledge. Feel like the media keep trying to spin that we are not sold on Ja and still like RJ or looking to potentially trade the pick. A Mike Conley trade is going to happen soon. I would prefer it to go down on draft night, but it depends on if the Grizz get what they're looking for....1) cap relief, 2) draft pick(s), 3) young asset(s).
There's a possibility Conley may not be traded until July 6, which by that time the top PG's on the market will probably be dried up and a team will be more desperate to give us a little more for Conley than they would on draft night (i.e. Utah).
All in all, I would be SHOCKED if we don't pick Ja. As for Conley, I'll say there's a 60% chance he's dealt on draft night. 90% chance he's dealt somewhere around July 6th.

Yall dont have the best offer. Just because yall willing to offer the the most doesnt mean its the bestYea but that has no bearing on what the Lakers do.
So this is what some of yall think will happen..the Lakers sign a max free agent in the first week of free agency ("I'm going to take the right time," Leonard said Monday, per the Associated Press' Ian Harrison. "You don't need too many days to figure it out'). The Pelicans balk and say wait a minute..we assumed this trade would be completed on the 6th, even though we have absolutely no right or reason to assume something like that under the current CBA. The trade literally cannot be completed until the 30th at this point.
So yall think the pelicans will back out of the deal because the 4th pick, who they are likely going to trade anyway, won't be able to play meaningless summer league games and the pelicans value the 4 million in extra cap space and some exhibition games over all the pieces they're set to get in this trade. So they back out of the deal and are left scrambling to find another deal after the draft and in the middle of free agency when everybody and their mama knows the Lakers have by far the best offer and nobody else can come close. And then instead of AD the Lakers would have Bron, 2nd max and all the pieces from the deal coming back meanwhile Griffin would be looking like a damn fool for not just waiting a few weeks.
That's what yall really think is gonna happen? 'What incentive do the Pelicans have to wait?' headasses? That ALA is rotting your brain
You giving WAYYYYY too much credit to Big Rob for even having this thought. The same dude that willingly wanted to trade for Muscala

What kind of offers do you think they will get AFTER the draft and AFTER free agency has already started? It's not even about giving Rob credit, it's just common sense stuff when you look at the CBA.
Woj is assuming the deal will be done on the 6th because he's foolishly been led to believe that no max free agents are interested in the Lakers, even after acquiring Anthony Davis. The trade terms are fluid. NOLA agreed to the deal fully understanding that the Lakers may either be a cap team (max free agent) or room team at the time the trade can officially be consummated. Which means it's entirely up to the Lakers signing a max free agent to determine when the deal is finalized. The Pelicans have no say so in this whatsoever. All they can do is hope that nobody signs with LAL before the 6th. And even if they don't get a max, they still have max space in that timeframe to fill out the roster. Also, any free agent, max or otherwise, would understand they need to sign before the 6th in order to play with AD.
The Lakers are in full control here.

What were the other legitimate offers? Or better yet the better offers than what we gave up since you know so much.
What was reported was that the Knicks bowed out. The Celtics bowed out. Those were the only 2 other teams that were trying to and supposedly had the assets for AD.

So true, just look at how he talked about the trade in February as opposed to when it went down. From not having attractive pieces to New Orleans getting a tremendous haul. **** Woj on piru.

Lets use common sense for a sec. If there were NO other offers on the table, why give up so much? You weren't bidding against anyone else.
If yall are really in full control (taking in account what MVP said), why make the trade now if its going to completed at a later day anyway?

That’s pretty simple...
The Lakers are a more attractive destination for FA with AD on the team
Cmon dude lol

Answer the question. Who were the other teams and what were the other offers? The Lakers were desperate to get him because of the free agency prospects and overall bad vibes of the franchise. They still gave up less than they would have in February.
And using common sense are the Lakers now more or less attractive for free agents? C'mon son.

Yeah after the 76ers GM **** show last year they had to overpay for talent and trade all their assets. And still hoping to keep those free agents this summer.
It's a tough game
