I bet Lakers -8.5 because I know how narratives work and a blowout without Russ is the only possible outcome on the night before the trade deadline. – 10:03 PM

Unless the Lakers truly think John Wall can make a serious difference this season (I’m skeptical), better to wait until the summer w/more potential options to move Russ. If he’s grown that detrimental, separate him from the team. But don’t sacrifice a pick for a band-aid fix. AK – 7:35 PM

I actually think having Daniel Theis could be a positive for the Lakers.
This has not been a good year for him, but he’s been a solid starting center that can shoot a bit in the past. That’s something AD likes having around, and it never hurts to have some extra tradable salary – 6:42 PM
