I don’t know if the Clippers would ever trade with the Lakers. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t wondering if the Lakers could get into the Paul George opt-in+trade mix.
They’d need DLo to opt in for money matching purposes, but they have picks and youth. He’d be an awesome fit. – 3:49 PM

The lady that made allegations against JJ Redick blocked me. Typical. Because I told her to elaborate. You can’t make explosive allegations that could change someone’s life. And just disappear into the night. You don’t get to do that. – 10:04 PM

Knecht on his new coach, JJ Redick: “That’s really exciting. At Tennessee, I watched a lot of JJ Redick (film) with (TEN) Coach Barnes, just the way (Redick) moves and paces himself, and was able to create space … it’s going to be real special.” – 11:04 PM

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Sources: Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes will exercise his $2.46 million player option for the 2024-25 season, @hoopshype has learned. Hayes shot a career-high 72% and tied a career-high with 70 games played last season. He played with new coach JJ Redick in New Orleans. -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / June 29, 2024
Dave McMenamin: The Lakers have expressed interest in Dwane Casey joining JJ Redick’s staff as an asst coach, sources told ESPN. Casey has been in coaching nearly 30 years, including head jobs with MIN, TOR and DET. The 2018 Coach of the Year is currently a front office associate for the Pistons -via Twitter @mcten / June 28, 2024
Pelinka said Redick grabbed a whiteboard and began designing pindown actions and after-timeout (ATO) plays for Knecht moments after the selection. “That’s really exciting,” Knecht told reporters in New York when relayed Redick’s planning. “At Tennessee, I watched a lot of JJ Redick with Coach (Rick) Barnes and just the way he moves and paces himself and was able to create space. So, hearing that, it’s really exciting and it’s going to be real special.” -via New York Times / June 27, 2024
Yossi Gozlan: D’Angelo Russell becomes a logical trade candidate and can be moved immediately. He was expected to opt out and become a free agent after his strong season. Instead he picks up his $18.7 million salary and will test free agency in 2025. He cannot extend his current contract. -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / June 29, 2024
How long Russell remains a Laker is another matter altogether. After failing to trade Russell ahead of the 2024 trade deadline, the Lakers are expected to be aggressive in pursuing Russell-centric trades, according to league and team sources. Russell’s expiring contract immediately becomes one of Los Angeles’ more valuable trade assets, particularly for salary-matching purposes. -via New York Times / June 29, 2024
