Rumor: Rich Paul trying to get John Wall to LAL for Ball, KCP and either Ingram/Kuzma/Hart

[GPBear]

Said this shyt back in October

What're you gonna do Lebron? Trade the young prospects for your old ass friends again, and give JR Smith another 8-figure contract?
Lawst Angeles hasn't learned from the last two time they tried to get a super star and surround him with some random ass vets to win

Awful rumor..

 

[Damnshow]

the funny thing is even if this fake trade rumor was true, ernie wouldn't trade wall yet, right now wizards are climbing up the ladder and are like one win away from top 8

ernie gonna be like: see, ted? we are doing just fine, lets keep the core and trade more draft picks for a veteran role player

Bad move for the Wizards. fukk cap space, nobody's coming here. Wall till we fall

Adam Silver gotta let em get their old name back...bring back the Bullets

Once that happens everything will fall into place...the long district-wide nightmare will be over

John Wall would prefer if the Wizards were the Bullets again

lol these nikkas don't even take advantage of the Wizards name. I never seen a Harry Potter night, no Lord of the Rings night, nothing...

People don't understand that this is a franchise that simply does not try. If we didn't give all that money to John Wall we would've gave it to like... Pau Gasol or something....

shyts a joke

You'd have to be a clueless casual to even entertain this rumor. An idiot, actually.

Let's be real here, Rich Paul is just throwing this shyt into the media to make it seem like John Wall is really wanted out there, hoping that some team will ACTUALLY bite on a trade. The Lakers don't want dude, doesn't make sense from a financial standpoint nor an actual on court standpoint. Even if Magic and Pelinka think no free agents will come, they'll save the young trade assets either to see if any of them will pop (I doubt they will) or they'll trade them for a better fit than Wall. Disgruntled superstars with multiple years on their contracts come along every season.

Truth.

Wall and Lebron together isn’t a good fit. Plus why give up your assets AND your cap space for one max player when you could get two of you wait til the summer

Y’all finally got one Max player after 10 years of no luck in free agency. Y’all gonna gamble on another summer?

I’d rather go into this summer and overpay for khris Middleton if it comes down to it and then trade my assets for another guy before I take on John wall’s contract

 

[Houston911]

What a terrible rumor

I don’t think they’d trade lonzo for wall straight up tbh

 

[beenz]

Magic loves John Wall and doesn’t want LEBron handling the rock

But I don’t see him and Pelinka giving up their flexibility

plus they could always do that deal after the summer if the lakers were to totally strike out in free agency.

But like @CHICAGO said, will they have $38M in room to absorb the 2019-20 salary?

 

[Bigblackted4]

DC would be dumb not to take that deal
