I think why Lowry was not traded for the Lakers is that Toronto is asking too much, THT, Harrell and Dennis Schröder. I think Raptors is asking too much.

Lakers understand the value of their assets, they'll not going to any deal that they won't gain any compensation. If Raptors are asking for this two players for getting Lowry which is no longer at his prime.

Lowry might add good offensive stuff but they don't need it that much once LeBron and AD are there to work for them, maybe that's why the deal didn't materialize.

Raptors will keep him till summer and have his free agency, let see if who will sign him up after this season.

I'm afraid Lowry will not be effective in the Lakers, he is a born point guard and we know who is playing the point guard with the Lakers. Lowly deserve to be in a team that could help him utilize his talent and for sure that is not the Lakers, sorry but I'm not happy it the trade could have happen.

That would be a shame for Lakers if they are wanting to acquire Lowry and they will not give them a role to help the team in winning. Lebron might be playing the PG but they could change their game plan once another star player will join the team, but its Raptors just ask too much and Lakers are not stupid to gamble Lowry which is not anymore getting any younger.

With Rondo traded with the Clippers, what do you think will be the Clippers chances this season?

Rondo from his experienced he can bring additional energy as he can create spaces and good game play to his teammates.
He is a 2 time champion, what more can you expect?
Clippers has a legit chance of beating the Lakers or anyone who will reach in the NBA Finals with Rondo, so I'm hoping he will stay healthy/
I'm already expecting a good ball movement with him manning the floor.

is it a good decision to trade Willams for Rondo?

Seems that Williams is not blending well with PG and Kawhai, Clippers needs game maker and Rondo is one of those quality
player who can provide this role.

Because they area all scorer, they don't have a legit PG that is on a star level, Rondo is the answer to that.

Williams is a good 6th man, he can generate points for the team if needed but Rondo is more on managing the play.
Which one is more useful for the team?

They already have PG and Kawhai who can fill the scoring part, Rondo if blended right he can fill this empty space.


I expect that too.

Anyone sees the 76ers vs Lakers game?

Did you like what Howard was doing? lol.. he will never grow old, he wants to make fight in the court to anyone, 76ers are lucky to have him as they have someone who can bring some important energy on the floor.

Howard and Green also received their championship ring, congrats to them and congrats to the win.
Lakers on 3 losing streak now.

Perhaps the two, Howard and Green are just rubbing it in to the Lakers, they let both of them, and they are the one specially Green who lead Sixers to their victory.

I think why Lowry was not traded for the Lakers is that Toronto is asking too much, THT, Harrell and Dennis Schröder. I think Raptors is asking too much.

They are in the position to ask these players because Lowry is their star player hence, valuable. Eventually a trade will be successful, Lakers can't let go of this 3 as they are contributing so well for the Lakers, especially Schröder and Harrell who is leading the scoring while Lebron is resting.

You have to wonder why the raptors held on to Lowry. I don't know but they are probably asking too much in their trade package for a 35-year old guard. It's their loss. The man will become an unrestricted free agent when the season ends and they are not even sure if he will accept any of their offers for a new contract. They could also end up paying more to get him back.

Yes, that's the issue. They cannot find a good trade because they are assuming they will get the better hand in exchange for Lowry.
No, they won't be taking him back next year, I am sure of that.
It will release a good cap space for someone else in the free agency.
Lowry might be the one who will have problems dealing for a new contract with other teams.
What he must do now is showcase why he should be signed by another management after his free agency.

It won't be nice at age 35 to have a veteran contract before his retirement.

Lakers on 3 losing streak now.
The game was close.

I have no comments with Howard. The game was done and it's just another sad day for the Lakers while Howard, Green and the Phila gang got a good game and day.

Have you seen the video? if not, you should watch the replay on how Howard pissed Harrell but he still ended up getting ejected due to 2 technical fouls. It's just fun to watch him destroying other players rhythm , his role with the Lakers before was brought against the Lakers. lol

Rondo for Lou? That's some intriguing trade there.
They say Clippers badly need a pointguard. I hope Rondo will fit in.
Lou Williams though is a good addition for the Hawks. Now, their offense won't stop even with the 2nd team.
We know how good Lou is when he is in the Clippers. A candidate for Six man of the year and he is giving huge numbers every game but year after year, his performance declined especially when PG13 and Kawhi joined the team. Now they got Rondo which is we know a good playmaker. He really will fit in the Clippers and seeing their current roster, I think that he will be their starting point guard if not Jackson.

Lou/Trae duo?? What do you think with them? Will they be a good duo or I should say that they can led the team Cheesy. Lets see in their next games but I think that this can be a good duo. I just hope that both Rondo and Lou can adjust to their respective teams as soon as possible Smiley.

Look what's Clippers roster right now https://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/lac/la-clippers I think that's just some chemistry in its best and they got a good spread too on positions. Well, look at their point guards right now, just wow, reserves at it's best I suppose.
rondo landed by the clippers is I think one of the best move of the front office, clippers need a playmaker so that Leonard and George can do their thing, they don't have an experience point guard, with championship experience, so rondo will open a lot of opportunities for the clippers to score, passing penetration, it's very important for a team to have a point guard.

Now their stars could facilitate their stats by the help of true point guard in the presence of rondo and imagine how strong they are for sure their opponents are now thinking on how they can find a weakness on the current line up of clippers.

Lets just see if rondo could adjust the system in clippers since if he can easily fit in the team I believe they are now a championship contender.

Sad to let Gary Harris go for Aaron Gordon but that's just NBA.
Chemistry out for a better rebuilding roster. Nuggets is aiming for a championship now.

I think Miami and Denver are the big winners of this deadline. Miami picking up Victor Oladipo might be the best trade of the day, but I think Aaron Gordon might end up being the biggest prize. It looks like the Lakers and Nets playoff runs just got a little more difficult. A bit disappointing that not more big men moved. I was expecting the Lakers to do something big.
Well, I think Rondo was a good addition for the Clippers too but I've probably prefer Lou not to be traded but let's see if he can still bring some of those works he has done like what he did on the Lakers.

Quote
Beal, Lowry, Aldridge, Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond, Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball and Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins were among the prominent names who were not traded. Aldridge and Drummond both appear poised for buyouts.
These names got the huge rumors recently yet it goes quiet, seems odd.
The rumor is that Drummond will go the Lakers, multiple sources has reported it already. Maybe they are just finalizing the deal that's why it's quiet.

As for Rondo, yeah, I agree that the Clippers has increase their chances in West with adding Rondo in their line-up. Now we can say that their starting 5 looks pretty solid.
