Everyone can't afford to be an a**hole in negotiations like Pop. The Spurs have multiple rings. The Pels didn't resign Cousins.
Lakers were giving them a young starting 5 and 2 first. They basically would have gotten to manage the Lakers young core until maturity while also getting a lotto pick this year.
Should have taken the deal then shipped Jrue and Niko out. Rolled out...Ball, Hart, Ingram, Randle, Zubac and Kuz for the rest of the season. Jrue could net a lotto pick by himself.
Trade Randle or Kuz over the summer for another pick/player and might have been ready to be a fringe playoff team come next season (that core won 35 games the year before).
