@FullstopPicks: “LaVine isn’t fixing their issues lol”
@JLewis562: “That’s a big move. They gonna lose a core piece.”
@OKCSTEEZ: “That would be a scary addition 😱. The question is how much would they have to give ????”
@EveryThinLakers: “If this is credible, man I’ll be mad”
@worldofao: “That’s quite a list… Lavine as the focus is interesting. Need another consistent scorer that can create their own offense alongside Murray and Jokic. Wonder who they trade… MPJ?”
@TyTheOneJOSE: “Russ
Murray
Lavine
MPJ
Jokic
Great offense”
