Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
The Lakers are making the trade for Oklahoma City's Dennis Schroder under the strong belief that they will be losing Rajon Rondo in free agency, league sources say

Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Jrue Holiday continues to generate significant league-wide interest, with several teams attempting to get into the top-ten to acquire a pick needed to deal for Holiday. Several team execs say the Nuggets, armed with young talent to trade, are a strong threat.

excellent pick up for the lakers. I would like Janemba/Rondo to stay but reality is cruel.

I hate the fucking way the Lakers & The Nets got rid of young talented culture by either trades or not believing in the heart.

Lakers had BI, Lonzo, Kuzma, Randle, Hart, all as a good young cheap core & they sold out for LBJ & AD, gave up their heart & became a sell out to buy a ring.

Nets did the same getting Kyrie & KD & not believing in that BK team that had a heart with Dinwiddie, Levert, DLO, Allen, which by themselves went 42-40 without adding much of a team around them or fully throwing the keys at them. Now it’s an even bigger exodus of young talent.

Clippers looked like they were building a good team culture too and they sold out for PG & Kiwi. Now your probably going to see an exodus of Harrell, Lou, to go along with all the young buck in Shai Gilgeous and huge assortment of picks that they already got rid of for PG.

I don’t like how so many teams are just giving up on team culture & development of young talent. It’s not how you build continual success or a culture.

Fans don't want to wait for a rebuild when it's a gamble that it'll even work out.

Look at the Sixers.

I really hope the Lakers don't pursue one of these walking plagues like Harden, Westbrook, etc. Maybe Chris Paul would fit in on this team but not the others.

I think the best chance for either Harden or Westbrook to win a title will be when they're humbled in their later years and take a spot on a contender as bench scoring options. If Harden came off the bench he could be a super valuable player to a team but a team built around him, I just don't see that shit winning at the highest level.

My guy really just said Harden should be humbled in a few years and come off the bench... Put a decent fucking team around him, and see how far they go.

Oh wait, you mean taking one of the greatest teams assembled to 7 games, and legit losing the game because they had one of the worst shooting streaks in NBA playoff history of going 0-27.

Guy averages over 29.6 PPG on 66% TS throughout his HOU tenure, and he should come off the bench... Right.
