I would say there is pretty much zero chance that trade actually goes down.. Wall is the last guy we need on this team and then you add the worst contract in basketball along with him makes it that much more obvious. The Lakers did so much to free up space and to just give most of it up for Wall? 
This team is playing together and extremely fun to watch with a ton of untapped potential still available, I just do not see how anyone for the Lakers could see this and do anything but laugh at it. |

I legit don't think the Lakers would waste their cap space for a PG that can't shoot and has chemistry problems in his own locker room..
that he leads.

Agreed. I would hope not at least. Plus, he blows the cap space plan in the offseason. Not worth all of that |

Yep no way. Magic and Pelinka are not completely clueless š |

This would be a dumber move than signing Mozgov and Deng.

Yup. Wall makes 38 million next year. |
Doesn't make sense Wall is a nice player but not for that horrific contract it would ruin the cap space |

That drive and dunk was alpha af. Hope to see more that kind of aggressiveness.

Hopefully we see more of that. It could be a game changer. |

FINALLY!! I've been waiting for him to take off in the paint off 1 foot like this. He has the athleticism to be wayyy more efficient finishing around the rim |

| Hopefully the recent trade rumors are just scare tactics aimed at LaVar. |

On his contract, I wouldn't take Wall for free. If you could trade KCP for Wall straight up I'd say no without hesitation |

| If ball does get traded I will root for Wall, but will miss Lonzo. I think he will be special. |

He's been scared into shutting up for months it seems.
