The teams have been working to reach an agreement with a third team that would take on Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as part of a potentially larger deal, league sources said.

Will this be the deal that sends out our 1st rounder?

[ShelC]

A couple NBA writers are speculating we're floating this trade out early to let other teams know what kind of an offer they need to put together if they want Ariza.

[TOO]

Gimme Lonzo.

[INFORMER]

Wrong Los Angeles franchise.

[Mori Chu]

Gimme Lonzo.

My guess is that we give up Ariza for essentially nothing, like some cruddy player and a future 2nd rounder. He's worth more than nothing, but we essentially have no front office, other than a couple of buffoons who do not know how to run a team. They're good friends with Lebron, and they'll give him a good deal to help out a pal and to help make Ariza happy by sending him to a good team. That's all we'll get.

This is not Lonzo.

While I'd be hesitant about adding that first rounder, that's not a terrible deal from our perspective. I'm not sure if it's good enough for Brooklyn though.

[TOO]

Dinwiddie is a good solid basketball player, we need those. I'd trade that Mil pick with little hesitation. Dinwiddie and Bridges will give you 2 guys who can play the wing both ways, would free up Booker, can actually pass the ball fairly well.

[Mori Chu]

I'd do that deal.

[Split T]

Yes I’d move the mil pick for dinwiddie. He’s better than Bledsoe. We’d have to pay him, but that’s fine. We could still create space to sign a 4 in the off-season.

Umm yes please.

[ShelC]

I think the Nets view Dinwiddie as a serious part of their core and their future. I'd be very surprised if they moved him.

[Shabazz]

I know he doesn’t have a ton of fans on this board, but I’ve always liked DeAngelo Russell.

[Drewsprocket]

KCP is the right chip to help us out into a deal.

Faried + Dinwiddie OR Russel would all be ideal for me.
Or
Fred Van Fleet

[TOO]

I know he doesn’t have a ton of fans on this board, but I’ve always liked DeAngelo Russell.

We need a guy next to Booker than can defend. If we didnt have Booker I'd be kinda interested in Russell, but he's redundant to me.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Interesting. Let's see what LeBron tells our "GM" to do this time.

[JeremyG]

If we can’t find a third team just take KCP ourselves and demand a first round pick from the Lakers in return!
