Really? No reason? Even after other teams make their offers? They're not going to try to compete because NO turned them down in February? After Boston and whoever else make their offers, the Lakers are just going to offer Zubac and a sack of hair, just to just show the Pels? That would make Magic a really crappy GM.

And you keep on saying "No other team is going to offer what the Lakers are offering," like that's somehow set in stone. And like that package is somehow the best thing for the Pels moving forward.
