In context
MahoneyWho's being appeased here? The Kawhi one.
BillBecause if I was running the Lakers, and Luka was like, I really want to catch him. And they would let you, I'm sure. Yeah.
BillMaybe new ownership. I might have a chance.
BillI just would have been like, look, dude, we're not going to win the title this year.
BillOur goal is to sign Reeves to put you in the best possible situation to win and try to strike for a third star. And we don't really love the summer market right now. So we can do this Kessler thing. But once we do this, we have no assets left.
BillIt's going to be really hard for us to make another move after this. So once we do this, this is our team. So just so you know, we think that's a mistake. We can patch together center.
BillLet's keep the picks and let's wait. There's going to be a lot of unhappy teams in January, February, and let's wait and let's strike for a star. We have some expirings. We have some trade stuff. Let's do that. That's what I would have said, but what do I know?
