NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[cow]

I agree with #1, but isn't it interesting that they opted to knowingly ram their entire franchise into the dirt by bringing in Westbrook instead? I suppose that could just mean that they're dumb, but it could also mean they were really hoping for any alternative to the Hield plan. It sure does seem obvious that Hield was a much better on-court fit, after all. 

#2 is a valid point.

The Lakers have basically told the Logo to fuck off, so I don't think there is any question that they are dumb.  They also let Caruso walk when he offered them a discount.
