Chandler Parsons: I got traded to Atlanta in my last year. I offered him $50,000 for his jersey number, 25, and he told me no. So, the dude—he doesn’t need the money. He does not need the money.

Redick said that LeBron and Reaves are both available to play (Doncic was upgraded to probable earlier).
Expect them to start alongside Hayes and Hachimura, with Vanderbilt, Knecht, Len, Goodwin and Milton playing off the bench.
Finney-Smith and Vincent are out. – 7:38 PM

Before signing Alex Len, the Lakers were $1.6M below the 2nd apron.
Len cap hit if signed on:
Tuesday: $743,829
Wednesday: $731,831
The Lakers do have flexibility to add another player and stay under the apron.
They would need to clear a roster spot. – 5:20 PM

More on this storyline
Keith Smith: Alex Len signed with the Los Angeles Lakers on a prorated veteran minimum contract, a league source confirmed for @spotrac . That leaves the Lakers with enough room under the second-apron hard cap for another prorated veteran minimum signing, should they want to make one. -via x.com / February 12, 2025
Chris Haynes: Big man Alex Len will wear No. 27 for the Los Angeles Lakers, sources say. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / February 11, 2025
Run It Back: Luka Doncic was disrespected by Nico Harrison 😳 “Part of the business as a player is to be on time and professional. Isn’t part of the business as a GM having respect and a dialogue with your franchise player…so he doesn’t feel stupid and caught off guard?” – @ChandlerParsons -via x.com / February 5, 2025
Clutch Points: “I find it extremely disrespectful… I’m also not buying that Jason Kidd just didn’t know… [Luka Doncic] just bought a $15M house, just closed like last week in Dallas… He cried when he found out.” — Chandler Parsons 👀 -via x.com / February 3, 2025
So I’ve got to wonder—what does Mark Cuban think of all this? Obviously, he’s not the majority owner anymore, but he’s still in the mix. You think he’s thrilled about this? CHANDLER PARSONS: I texted him, and I said, “I’m so confused.” And he wrote back, “That makes two of us.” So that kind of tells you right there—he wasn’t involved. By the way, this new ownership—Patrick Dumont and the Adelson family—are business people, right? They’re Vegas casino and real estate moguls. They know nothing about the NBA or basketball. So they’ve fully given Nico the keys to make decisions and bold moves like this. I believe Mark. I think this is just as much of a shock to him as it is to all of us. His comment from back then is now coming to light about “filing on Monday,” which is obviously being brought back up. But yeah, I mean, I texted him, and he literally said, “That makes two of us.” So he’s probably just as shocked as we all are. -via YouTube / February 3, 2025
