Before he was called here, he had no offers. He has shown that he can be a score, but still inconsistent as hell. Plus his lack of ball IQ he makes terrible mistakes at both ends. Malik better stay here and continue to learn. Show that you actually can improve and be consistent.
He reminds me of the other guy that used to date the same dame he is dating now and we know how that ended. He is as huffy as the other guy.

Maybe Blazer want to give Dame a great retirement package. Give him a super max contact extension and trade him to his team of choice to kick off the rebuild. Dame will be 32 next year.

Lakers can offer an super max expiring contract, a young piece and 2 future 1st round picks. Blazers will be in a good spot financially with this package.

Blazers can give Dame the best break up in NBA history. It leaves the door open for Dame inevitable return.

As for coach? Give coach K everything he wants to lead this lakers team back to the top.
