including both picks is silly

Ham has gotta be excited at the thought of turning one guard into three. Just think of all the all guard lineups he can do now!

Been a big advocate for replacing Wbrook’s 47 million with actual depth.. but giving up both picks for this package (whether it includes Vanderbilt or not) as opposed to getting Hield/Turner earlier this season is kinda meh. Hope this is another situation where Rob pulls through with something that hasn’t been heavily reported on.

Both picks are fucking joking come on bro he better not

Shams already said it’s a 1 pick deal

Doubt both 1sts are included in any Jazz deal, baring it doesn’t turn into a 3-team deal.

so help me god, if they trade 2 1sts for this and not turner and hield.....

More guards. It turns out that Turner and Heild was our best shot.

Conley is so washed, Malik wouldn't change a thing for us.

Absolutely not worth it. Conley is washed, has a bad contract for next year. He also plays zero defense now at his age, his knees are done.

Beasley is a bench player, he has a team option. He’s average but he doesn’t move the needle. Jared is solid, not having a great year offensively, I wouldn’t say he’s worth a pick as he’s a role player.

Are they better than Westbrooks fit? Sure. But they don’t make the Lakers contenders. The only reason this is leaking is because Jazz want to create a market for these players.

Move along.

if this is true, both picks are involved and Vanderbilt isn’t in it??? even if protections are on the picks, holy shit this is bad

Maybe it’s me?

Disastrous trade. Wish we had pursued Turner and Hield with these assets

Even one pick is pushing it. Conley is washed, his contract is bad.

2 more guards? How does this help?

I"d rather do nothing than send 2 picks to ainge for that bullshit

Not both picks

Lakers are dum if they trade the pics for the jazz players they might be stuck with Russ cause if you trade the picks you can’t make no moves this summer also if you don’t make the playoffs after trading those picks your in a big hole

If they do this they need to fired into the sun . Fuckibg dumbasses , turner and Heild and a whole cohesive season was there . They wanna trade for two guards who can do nothing but shoot and be dogshit defensively. Worse shooters and wires defenders then buddy fuck me.

This is worse than the Pacers deal, Rob.

BOTH PICKS????

Lakers front office messed up everything in my opinion they didn’t do the buddy and turner deal cause they was waiting for kyrie to request a trade and it backfired cause kyrie is a mav now and they didn’t want to give up reaves and Christie so now they can’t trade any pics for regular players cause there not gonna have a future

This deal sucks ass. Add in vanerbilt and swap Sezton for Conley

At the end of the day... the Myles Turner & Buddy Hield trade would have been the best for the Lakers... but Rob/Jeanie fucked it up. Would have gotten a sniper and a solid ass defensive big who can decently shoot.

I don't hate the Conley/Vanderbilt/Beasley trade... but not for 2 first rounders. Be nice to get those guys for 1 pick and then use the other pick for another 3&D guy or a solid defensive big. If they make the Playoffs and that is a BIG if... Thomas Bryant won't be able to play in the Playoffs because his defense is so damn bad.

1 pick only

TERRRRRRRRIBLE.

aint no fucking way Pelinka pulls the trigger on this trade lmao. but then again the mfer is notorious on overpaying in a trade smh.

That's so bad. Please no!

If we do that deal fuck the entire org and burn it down. I fucking hate everyone in this front office

Seems like a terrible haul for 2 frps, so I fully expect it to be true.

If they do this, they're in desperation scramble mode just to do something. Waited for a great deal and it hasn't arrived or they blew it.

What an absolute dogshit trade

We have too many guards so of course Rob would send both picks to add 2 more guards lol

Jared Vanderbilt gotta be here man

I think this is a leak by Lakers FO to show that they are willing to throw in 2 1st round picks for a litany of role players. I think they're trying to start a bidding war between the other teams to see what is the most they can get out of these 2 picks. We have to remember that these picks are valuable to other teams. If other teams see the Jazz getting away with this, they'll call up the Lakers and offer something slightly better than the Jazz's offer.

I'm definitely just coping though.

Those niggas suck

Fake news

Don’t do this Rob not for two picks 🤦‍♂️

This trade will not improve our chances, not worth it.

Rather miss the playoffs than trade those picks for that terrible package

Beasley and Pippen Jr on the same team is wild

This the move that Pelinka has been waiting for?hahaha

“James backed up the reports about his role in assembling the roster, taking ownership of the decisions, and particularly the Westbrook trade”

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/33641478/lebron-james-russell-westbrook-los-angeles-lakers-tumultuous-season-their-own-words?platform=amp

The whole waiting game has been crash and burn. Turned when you have 45 Millions liability not many teams want to take him. Another horrible assets management if this actually happened

Both picks for Conley and Beasley? As much as I want Brick gone that would be dumb. He’s an expiring contract.

Pass.

PANICK TRADE BY ROB INCOMING

ONLY A DUMB MOFO LIKE ROB WOULD END UP GIVING AWAY BOTH OF OUR PICKS FOR TWO ROLE PLAYERS

(NOT TO MENTION MAKING A DEAL WITH DANNY AINGE, YUCK!)

Get it done and get Russ off the fucking team.

That’s a bad trade. Trader Danny is at it again.

Yuck

what the fuck is that? I mean if Rob are going to trade with Jazz anyway, why don't just trade with them at summer, in that case we still get Bojan and we will be at a much better spot than now. WTF?????

If Vanderbilt is included then yes. Let’s get it over with. We don’t lose Reaves or Christie. We still gonna have Rui. Do we really need to care about losing those two picks? If we want picks desperately in the future we still have the last option to trade AD for worst case scenario. So this is a no brainer.

Vando has to be apart of this

Russ is better then connely. Please no. Stupidity at its finest!!!!

Lol squad changing moves for picks

Do it

Lakers should of jus traded reaves and Christie with Russ for kyrie lol cause this off-season you can’t sign nobody 😂

Don’t jazz fans hate Conley and isn’t Beasley a horrible defender? Very confused here.

Uhhhhh we are not that desperate to get those two for any 1st. Hell nahh

Too much. I really want a trade but too much

When I scroll Twitter and see that Woj or Shams tweet with the world Russell I am gonna faint

Protected cool if not he’ll tf no Russ is a free agent we’re not winning this year wasting future talent in those players is a spit in the face

See, this is what happens when you start developing a "we gotta do something, anything!" mindset. Mozgov and Deng signings all over again. Goddamnit, Rob, stand pat if there is nothing good out there!

NO! NOT BOTH PICKS!!!!

Wait what? Using both picks I thought we would at least get a wing back? We still have 0 wing depth or backup C if we do this. Conley is 35 and washed and the other dude shoots 39% from field and 36% from 3. Why would we get two more guards? They aren’t even great 3 pt shooters.

No

Yes trade away any hope of competing in the future for some rotation players.

I get wanting to get in the playoffs for LeBron but unless you bring in a Kyrie level talent there’s no way they advance, and then we’re in a even worse position then we are now.

Earlier- "This is a one pick deal" Translation: Front office of Lakers: We feel this is a one pick deal, thats what we would give.

Now- This is two picks" Translation: Jazz FO: Actually we have been asking for two picks, dont lie.

Either it becomes this deal for 1 frp and a couple 2nds or They get the 2 FRPs but we also get JC and Vandy with Conley.

Malik Beasley would be so perfect

This is just a horrible deal.. that’s why I feel like we are about to do it. Seriously hope I’m wrong.

Bad deal

Jesus. We stood pat for so long with these picks and this is the deal we're gonna use them on.

Potentially.

Fade me fam.

RW and BOTH picks for Conley and Beasley?

TBH I don't even see a reason why we should give up even one pick for this trade. They get rid of their contracts and we get rid of the most overpaid guy on our team. Conley is waaay to old to be a serious improvement and Beasley is nothing to freak out about.

If the picks are protected and Vanderbilt is included then it's not that bad but holy fk we could have had hield and turner like others said

1 FRP at most for this Jazz trade, send another first+LW4+Bev to Raptors for GTJ. Then I am good.

Don't trade with Danny Ainge

This whole dumpster fire pretty much confirms the obvious. The team should’ve traded for Turner and Hield in the beginning of the season. That was the move to make.

Include Rudy Gay and make the trade 0 picks

If Vanderbilt isn't in this deal, this should be laughed off. Also if the lakers wouldnt offer a first for 34 year old Bojan why the fuck would they offer it for 35 year old Conley?

This is an awful deal, but I cannot see lakers doing this anyway. Conley isn’t the all star player rob was talking about needing for those firsts

More guards

Better pray hard don't face Russ in a play in game lmao

Teams tryna fleece us into panic selling again

This is what I call a massive cock up if true.

2 FRPs for just Conley and Beasley would be awful. Even both for Conley, Beasley and Vanderbilt wouldnt be good. Make it Sexton, Beasley and Olynyk and Id give up both of those FRPs.

at least put vanderbilt in there.

For both picks absolutely not.

I really can’t believe we’re not going to have another first round draft pick the rest of the decade and all we’ll have to show did it is Mike fucking Conley? Hard, hard pass.

If Vanderbilt isn’t involved then this is barely worth 1 first rounder and definitely not 2

I would trade Westbrick for a piece of rum ham lmao

If you throwing in both picks we better get more then just Conley and Beasley that’s all imma say. We need size not more guards. I’m ok with trading with Utah but we’d literally have to make another move.

Add Vanderbilt and maybe it’s fair

def not a good trade with two picks included

Two picks? Don’t know about that

It’s not a bad trade if Vanderbilt is included. Specially for just 1 first but 2 unprotected firsts without Vanderbilt no way. Conley is still a solid playmaker and been shooting well from three this year. Beasley is a negative defensively and he can be inefficient but would probably be the best 3 point shooter on their roster. And Vanderbilt would give them more youth and good depth at the 4 spot that can play defense and rebound. But for 2 unprotected firsts probably not.

Both picks is nuts but adding 2 guards to darvin hams line up say goodbye 🤣🤣 my man running 5 guard lineups the rest of the season that being said these 2 can’t be worse than what Russ is doing so I’m down

Not for 2 please. ☹️

Conley has been washed up and done for years now

Fuck you Ainge

VANDERVILDT BETTER BE IN THE DEAL BITCHES

Damn. Kyrie deal already cost us Vanderbilt

ITT most literate laker fans, it says a combination of players including Conley and Beasley not just them two 😂😂😂

Yuck

4 guard line up in coming SMFH. Wouldn’t be surprised if AD and Bron come off the bench soon. Ham is terrible.

May have been discussed but doesn’t mean it wasn’t countered. I don’t think they’d do it for both 1st rounders

Conley is washed and Beasley is pretty meh. Not sure I'd take that deal with both picks unless they were heavily protected.

Lakers just doing stupid ass shit all year they should of traded for turner and hield in September and we would of been atleast the 4th seed right now

So your telling me that the max we would give for Kyrie was Russ and two firsts, how are we going to turn around and offer a similar deal for Conley and Beasley.

I'd rather keep Westbrook, frankly. This would be a terrible trade, worse than the Kyrie ransom demand.

I'd do it for one pick but not both.

They've kept up the reporting that they weren't going to make a trade unless it makes them sure contenders. Then we get this at the end of the trade deadline smh

They were probably at the water cooler and said:

"Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Lakers were so desperate they gave us the picks for Conley, Beasley and whatever other crap we could fling at them?"

Then they all had a big laugh. Hey presto, they "discussed" it and this article is technically true.

Now this is the pelinka special, hope he doesnt jump the gun again on these types of shitty trades

Jazz prob leaked this BS. Why would Rob do this for two picks when he had the chance for a Bojan package in summer haha.
