Live broadcast on February 6th according to the famous Shams report, sources revealed that a few days after the negotiations between Owen and basketable Nets reached a deadlock on last June, the Lakers had requested to negotiate with Owen and obtained basketable Nets permission.
Shams said that people around Owen thought this might be the first step in a potential deal between the two teams. Lakers GM Pelinka were allowed to talk with Owen’s stepmother and agent shertlia Riley Owen. However, it is said that Chateau Leili Owen did not get any news from the Lakers management.
Sources added that basketable nets was willing to listen to the alliance’s offer to Owen at that time, but the Lakers did not have a suitable deal to deal with the expiring contract of $Westbrook 47 million. This means that the Lakers will only sign a contract with Owen if he rejects the 37 million-player option (this season) and signs a medium special contract, but they do not believe that he will do so in the end.
On June 27, Owen decided to choose the executive player option. The Lakers negotiated with basketable nets again in early July, but Brooklyn made it clear that they were unwilling to trade Owen and the two sides met again in the summer league, but the position of basketable nets has not changed.
