TA 湖人记者 Dan Woike：湖人休赛期初期的讨论焦点是，独行侠的丹尼尔·加福德与篮网的尼古拉斯·克拉克斯顿是最符合引援逻辑的两名球员。由于此前交易东契奇引发独行侠球迷公开反抗后，联盟外界存在普遍怀疑，独行侠是否还能顶住舆论再次与湖人讨论交易。
The talk at the start of the Lakers’ offseason was that Dallas’ Daniel Gafford and Brooklyn’s Nic Claxton were the two players who made the most sense. There just remains so much leaguewide skepticism that the Mavericks could optically make another trade with the Lakers after the open revolt of the fan base following the Dončić deal.
还有一件事不会发生：东契奇和波尔津吉斯的再次联手。没有迹象表明有人想要看到这对组合的续集。
One thing that won’t happen — another Dončić-Kristaps Porziņģis pairing. There’s no indication that anyone wants to see that sequel.
