I hate to break this to you but, this is not legal in the NBA. Teams would be doing this all the time if it were. Props for attempting to think...
Or a similar trade with Miami for Wiggins, preferably with Vando also headed out. But we could send out the same package and use 10 million in cap...
Yes. We gain a dynamic defender who could guard POA and switch. He is also a good enough 3-point shooter and excellent rebounder. And we don't...
Three-team trade: Lakers get: Hart Bucks get: Anunoby, McBride, Ayton, LaRavia, Knecht, #25, #26, 2031 Knicks 1st, 2033 Knicks 1st Knicks get:...
No-brainer stuff. All people who go on this board should read that. There is no mention of floor-bound bulky bigs, stretch 5's, and one-way...
Yeah, I figured as much. I was thinking Euro Steps are probably also a contributor.
Ik Generally, 35% (Good Volume) 3-pt shooters who can defend > 40%+ (Good Volume) 3pt shooters who cant defend. We have many of the latter in...
The depth build was with the multiple reports that came out recently in mind, and the Lakers recent press conference. My take aways from these:...
This is a big ask. Not likely. Not on the realistic side. By the way, the build was with the reports in mind that the Lakers supposedly don't want...
It's more by role than traditional position per se. Remember, Luka defends the small forwards. Playmaker: Luka, Reaves Shooter: Reaves, Ellis POA...
I have Reaves in that Kyrie role, and Grimes in the DJJ role. He's not that big, but he's strong. He could play the 3, just like Smart can. You...
Ellis is dirt cheap though. 9.4 million room exception. I suppose, Lakers could also use that on Smart. Herb trade opens up an extra 3 million or...
DEPTH BUILDING PLAN (1) Trade Vando, Knecht, #25 to Pelicans for Herb Jones. Cap room is now about 51 million. (2) Grimes 18 m (3) Robinson 12...
Before that I only was willing to pay the vet minimum for him but the playoffs is a platform for over reaction lol. He might have earned himself a...
Hopefully we could use players like Vando and/or other trade ballast like Knecth, LaRavia, and Ayton + #25 and/or additional draft capital to...
Maybe go with a three-headed lob-monster. Mitchell Robinson and Robert Williams are both very injury-prone, which makes them easier to afford....
Williams is pretty vertical though. Gets 3 dunks per 36 minutes. He has a huge standing reach, so excellent catch radius. Hardly had to jump to...
If Lakers really want to follow the 23-24 Mavs model to appease Luka, then they get multiple lob-threats at the 5, not some combination of...
Yeah, Reed is a good defender too. Another rare player that could play differernt types of defenses.
That Dallas team had 3 lob threats at the 5: Gafford, Lively, and Powell. And also had lob threats at other positions in players like DJJ and PJ.
