Tuesday will even be the primary time a member of the Lakers has publicly spoken with reporters because the commerce was made, offering the chance for larger perception into the franchise’s perspective of the commerce, and the way it happened.

Mavericks basic supervisor Nico Harrison, who credited Pelinka with rumors of the commerce not getting out earlier than the deal was finalized, spoke with reporters on Sunday after the commerce was formally made earlier within the day.
