[2021] Supersonics Owner demands rights for Raymond Rivera

[TuscanSota]

 

The Supersonics have finally put up their Trade Block; and in doing so, have specifically demanded for a trade discussion revolving around Raymond Rivera.

 

Raymond Rivera was the #2 Overall Pick from the 2021 NBA Draft, drafted and signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite the amount of talent and potential, Rivera has yet to play a single minute in the 2021 NBA season.

 

Reporters cornered Supersonics intern Brandon Buckley for questions revolving around the Supersonics Front Office.

"Look man, it's clear the Lakers have more interest in having Rivera being a bench warmer than having him as a starting Laker. I can't speak for the big man at the top but all I can say is the Supersonics would love to have a player with the caliber such as Rivera."

 

The Supersonics have updated their Trade Block and await to hear back Owner and coach @blueblud3 the LA Lakers on initial trade talks.

Wow, have we ever heard such a straight forward call-out from an official source?!

For a player as high drafted as #2 overall, unlikely.

I am hearing reports that Heat guard Clint Barber is legally changing his name to Raymond Rivera to be used in a trade to the supersonics

Tell that to the number 3 pick Timberwolves who got shafted by this decision
