OMG when was this written? It sounds weeks old. Everyone knew Austin would decline it. The Lakers knew he would. They had to offer. Signing that extension made no sense because based on his contract they could only offer him a figure that is much lower than what he can get as a free agent. The Lakers plan to sign him and from everything I’ve read, he wants to stay a Laker.

There is no true trade speculation, just clickbait BS.
