I too am not interested in garbage

I’d like to thank these brave whistleblowers for giving us the crucial information that teams don’t want Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent

“People not authorized to speak publicly say”

“No one wants our garbage”

Guys do we really need to shroud these sources identities like they’re sharing some deep cut secret information

Fucking obviously nobody has interest in Gabe Vincent and dalton knecht lol

Lakers: take our trash and give us what we want to upgrade our needs

Lakers fans: there’s always a lakers tax whenever we want to trade for someone!

But every other post in r/nbatradeideas said with Rui, Gabe,Knecht they could haul in young talent and picks

Always love the vagueries we have to use to define sources.

The only way I see the Lakers making a trade is if they agree to a deal with another team.

Shocking

Prominent players 😂

What happened to the Lakers organization that could relentlessly pump up the value of guys like THT

Lmao who tf would want Gabe and DK? They’re so shit, but the remainder of the roster is so weak that they get rotation minutes

Lmao slob Pelinka

All my fellow lakers fans say this and a pick is enough for herb???!!!

Sources say that Pelinka is flabbergasted that MIL doesn’t want Knecht and Vincent as centerpieces of a trade for Giannis

I still remember the first month or so of Knecht in LA where everyone said ‘How did the Lakers do this? How did everyone let Knecht fall to the Lakers????’ lol

Thanks for the update, Captain Obvious.

Memes of Laker fans photoshopping everyone notwithstanding, I am pretty sure that whether or not there’s some 11th hour shenanigans involving us, Pelinka is probably doing it on the down-low. I know people meme him and it’s not wholly unearned but one thing we’ve generally done pretty well is work major transactions without big leaks; and y’all bore witness literally a year and a day ago.

I’m not saying anything IS going to happen, but until it does all the tweet noise about us is precisely that.

Small, if true. 

Knecht’s minutes were cut in half this season and his stats went drastically down.

Do the Lakers know how to market the players they want to trade?

This is a huge scoop

Exactly they have hot garbage to offer yet are in every trade article written about any player available

i honestly think Knecht can become solid player if he’s in the right development program/team

I mean, I’d like Gabe Vincent to come home if it’s for peanuts and if he returns to how good he was with us.

You mean the tried and true “Lakers dump for something insane in return” doesn’t fly anymore?

Crazy it’s taken the rest of the league this long to come around to such.

Seasons a wash anyway whatever

They have to use that 2031 FRP to do anything

Nobody wants to take on Gabe’s contract or a rookie just to help the Lakers get better for free. If they aren’t willing to attach that first-round pick, they aren’t actually ‘pushing’ for a deal.

Not surprised lol

I could’ve written this myself

Garbage Vincent and Knecht are negative assets. The Lakers would need to attach a 2nd to trade them.

I bet that’s just conjecture and he has no sources. Everyone and their grandmas know who the Lakers are trying to trade.

So cooked. Time to fire Pelinka this summer after another punted season and hope they can do something in FA

Lakers just don’t have any significant assets. We already traded our assets for AD, Westbrook and Luka and we’re now shrugging off the effects of that sorta like how you have to get better from the flu.

We’ll be significantly under the cap next summer and that’s not so much to sign free agents, but it’ll allow us to trade for players with contracts teams want to dump

This is the most non shocking trade report lol

Shocking stuff lol

No shit cause the suck

Vincent+Knecht for Martin+DLo+Hardy

No one wants the Fakers garbage. 

Dalton I can at least understand because he’s young and in a bad situation

Gabe though lol he better be learning Chinese in his spare time

We knew that lol.

Don’t worry. It’s the Lakers, I’m sure somehow they’ll be able to move one of them, especially top trash in Dalton and end up getting a lopsided as fuck, never mind fair, trade that significantly helps them. Happens way too often.

Dalton on any other team would just be getting released/out of the league, the fact folks wanted to move him & a SRP for Keon Ellis was hilarious. They’ll somehow pull off some crap only they could do.

I’m sure Rob is cooking something up for 2029

You mean other teams aren’t clawing to try and pry those guys from the Lakers

This year doesn’t matter for the Lakers, they can’t do shit with all that money tied to LeBron and aren’t competing in the West with this roster. Next year is the year for them

I think the lakers would get more value in trying to find a better role for Knecht then in using whatever they’d get in a trade. Since his value is so low. 

They use him as a floor spacer when he’s a microwave scorer suitable for a shot creation bench role

Spo was really working his dark alchemy on Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin.

“Teams have little interest in bad players”

Color me fucking surprised

So trade them both for Kuminnga then.

So glad the Hornets didn’t trade for Dalton.

Lol the FRP is the only thing we have of value. Thinking we can get a playoff rotation player for Gabe and DK is insane. Those two are ass, especially Gabe he might be out of the league very soon. 

I’m shocked jk this is obvious

lol

Brooks gone, Bane gone, JJJ gone. Well, Ja might be next, and they go for the full rebuild.

If I just flipped AD’s corpse and one first for Luka I would be trying this shit too.

Little interest? Prominent? OK.

Players get moved for financial reasons all the time. Gabe and Dalton are on expiring deals. Lakers could package their salaries and a pick to get a rotation player that a team is trying to get off their books for next season.

It’s the next-gen Kuzma/Ariza trade package their fans believe can get them any star they want.

Some homeless guy trying to sell me dollar store trash 

Lakers are not a serious team right now lol. 

Same

Is the source “every person who follows basketball”?

Lakers getting punished this trade deadline for getting Luka for free.

When I offer two bench players in fantasy for Josh Allen

Yeah no shit! The only value gabe has in theory is as an expiring. No one thinks these guys have actual value - Lakers staff, Lakers fans, the general public…hell even Gabe and Dalton’s families.

gasp

Nobody wants to be the next nico.

Ya no fucking shit lol

damn guess we’ll have to dangle our biggest trade piece, Bronny James

Primary Source: clear documented evidence on video

Secondary source: fans on social media

It’s funny to think we wouldn’t trade Jordan Goodwin for both of them.

They still need front court depth. Both Jarrett Allen and Draymond being mentioned as guys with low value right now. Personally think JA would be clutch for them.

Watch them somehow get Giannis

We need shooting but I haven’t watched Knecht play since college so I really have no idea what he’s looked like. Plus we’re pretty hamstrung on the salary cap anyways.

We haven’t had any kind of trade capital besides our 1st round draft pick and Austin Reaves for a while. Since ownership wants to keep both of those (and I think they should) then we dont have anything else that teams are going to want. It’s not a surprise that the Lakers are in this position right now. Nor is it really a bad thing, we dont need to push for a title this year.

yeah no shit

LAL fan here. We have little interest in Vincent and Knecht as well.

Lakers fans : Kneckt, Rui, Gabe Vincent and a 2nd for Giannis??

Lakers value this deadline lies in their expirings. That is about it. The roster outside of their top 3 isn’t that interesting.

I thought this was common knowledge

Don’t blame the rest of the league for not biting. Lakers pretty much have to fork over their picks or wait out the summer for some cap space and another pick they can use. 

No kidding nobody is interested. Duh

Rob Pelinka is a Nico Harrison merchant

Lakers ain’t doing shit

Get ready for Lebron to start crying after no one take their garbage

Lakers shouldn’t do anything to be honest.

They are absolutely not going to win anything this year and losing assets for summer is not the play. Painful to hear if you’re a Laker fan but it’s the best thing to do.

do I think knecht is a good or decent player no but he’s been traded and the coach has absolutely no confidence in him and has bagged him openly to the media, has he directly said he’s trash no but lots of people have assumed it and he hasn’t denied it, duncan couldn’t find any minutes until injuries forced miami to play him, if a Coach hates you then sometimes it’s super hard to even play decent similar to European football clubs when the coach loathes you, you will not play until you find another club

Can we trade with China? That’s where Gabes sorry ass needs to be headed.

Thanks, Magic

I truly believe dalton will flourish on another team. Perhaps a Duncan Robinson lite. Lakers just suck at developing players tbh.

Why does this have to be reported? It’s literally not news. Yes, other teams don’t want your crap that you’re trying to unload. It’s like when people in my fantasy football league try to package their 5th to 7th WRs for CMC. The Wizards also have dog shit players who don’t produce or play, and not even I would be interested in reading about them in the news.
