Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

I think they have up to 3 first-round picks available to trade.

But if you listen to Lakers people and close followers (including Pelinka's words during the Redick introductory press conference, which I watched), their messaging has been consistently focused on developing young players and trying to operate as a smart team the right way. No idea if they're actually capable of that, but the point is that if they were willing to empty the draft capital bank on this team, they would've done so by now, and Grant isn't the first target they've been linked to who seems tempting. 

This Haynes stuff is just LeBron trying to pressure them into "doing something" the way he has at pretty much every juncture since he has been there.
