It was revealed that the Lakers and Greens had discussed trading Randle and Ainge wanted Nance Jr. more.
On December 31, Beijing time, according to "Lakers Outsiders", the Lakers had discussed a trade with the Celtics this offseason, hoping to trade Julius Randle and second-round picks for Avery Bradley, but the deal was not negotiated because Danny Ainge, the president of the "Green Army", wanted Nance Jr. more. Nance Jr., who is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 235 pounds (107 kilograms), was selected by the Lakers with the 27th pick in the first round in the 2015 draft. In his rookie season, Nance Jr. averaged points, five rebounds and steals per game.
The first two years of Nance Jr.'s career showed steady growth, which "The Magician" also saw in his eyes. In a recent interview, he admitted that the team received ** from other teams for Nance Jr., but the Lakers rejected all of them. Because Nance won't become a free agent until two years later, and Randle will test the free agency market in 2018.
However, the Lakers also knew the value of Nance Jr. and insisted on using Randle as a bargaining chip, so the "yellow-green trade negotiations" were unsuccessful.
Our secret is Larry Nance. We've got a lot of teams wanting to trade him and Brandon Ingram and ours isn't. Larry is already such a famous player.
Johnson said. Last season, Nance was really impressive, averaging minutes per game to contribute points, rebounds, assists and steals. His athleticism and defensive intensity allowed the Lakers' second team to complement the main lineup.
Thought Nance Jr. would have a better future.

The Lakers lost 115-120 to the Clippers, and after the game, Lakers coach Luke Wharton spoke to reporters. Commenting on Larry Nance Jr.'s first game since his return, Wharton said: "I think Larry was probably the best player we had today.
Wharton praised Nance Jr.'s defense against Clippers forward Blake Griffin and his rebounding performance.
Nance Jr. commented on his first game back from injury: "It feels great, it's a good situation. Nance Jr. spoke about defending Griffin:
Griffin's ability to shoot three-pointers now adds another dimension to his game. In this game, Nance Jr. started 30 minutes and made 4 of 7 shots, scoring 9 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block. Griffin played 36 minutes in this game, shooting 9-of-21 and 3-of-6 from three-point range, finishing with 26 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers.
The Nets defeated the Lakers 107-97 at home, but in the game, Nance Jr. made a "space slam dunk" style dunk, which completely blew up the arena, not only the Nets fans were shocked, but even the Nets bench almost stood up!
In fact, there is no need to be shocking to everyone with such a bounce and anti-sky dunk like Nance Jr., because his father, Larry Nance, is the first dunk king in NBA history! In 1984, the NBA held the first slam dunk contest in Denver, when in addition to his father Larynam, there were also famous dunk celebrities, so the slam dunk contest was extremely golden, and finally Larynance stood out on behalf of the Suns and won the first slam dunk contest championship!
I think Nance Jr. deserves to be the son of the dunk king, this gene is really unbelievable!

On December 31, Beijing time, according to "Lakers Outsiders", the Lakers had discussed a trade with the Celtics this offseason, hoping to trade Julius Randle and second-round picks for Avery Bradley, but the deal was not negotiated because Danny Ainge, the president of the "Green Army", wanted Nance Jr. more. <>
Celtics president Danny Ainge prefers Larry Nance Jr. because Nance won't become a free agent until two years later, and Randle will test the free agency market in 2018. However, the Lakers also knew the value of Nance Jr. and insisted on using Randle as a bargaining chip, so the "yellow-green trade negotiations" were unsuccessful.
The Celtics eventually sent Bradley and a second-round pick to the Pistons in exchange for Marcus Morris, who did not re-sign Pope to make room to sign the Lakers on a one-year, $18 million contract.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, there were rumors that the Lakers and the Mavericks were discussing the trade of Randle and Noel, and it seems that the Lakers are indeed actively trading Randle. <>
Randle has played in 34 games for the Lakers so far this season, averaging minutes per game, contributing rebounds and assists, and shooting from the field, including three-pointers. Now, Randle is more of a backup with the Lakers, and recently due to an injury to Brook Lopez, Randle has started as a starter.
The Lakers have a chance to grab two starters at the same time next summer, so they may not have much room to re-sign Randle, and they also want to get rid of Clarkson's contract, so the trade rumors about the Lakers this season are basically around Randle and Clarkson, but it remains to be seen whether the "Purple and Gold" can get their wish.
