I could be way off. But I feel like DFS sees the writing on the wall that the Lakers have 17 power forwards on the roster, which is obviously not...
We should of took Martin.
I could understand the rationale, that's why I said backfill. Is the 7-4 Australian still on the board?
Power forward backfill player to replace Rui? Rob makes sure we have 17 power forwards at all time?
Yeah, exactly. If Brooklyn takes Malouak, then Lakers need to jump on getting Claxton. Same with Utah and Kessler. Since BKN is rebuilding, it...
A lob threat big who could also protect the rim helps in multiple ways: It helps optimize Luka and keeps him happy. It helps cover for the...
Small trade LAL: Devin Carter, Malik Monk UTA: Dalton Knecht SAC: 21st pick, Rui
Maybe they are leaning into a defensive identity with Jrue/Thybulle/Camara/Williams, etc. I mean that's 4 first-team all defensive players right...
Wow, I guess Portland trying to win now? What are they doing? :Laugh:
Reaves for Nesmith. Who says no?
Trade Reaves + Kleiber to Dallas for Gafford + Christie. This trade alone, solves most of our problems. Dallas too.
Out if the big 4 ideal bigs, Claxton seems to be most realistic. We know this about Brooklyn: They are in tank mode. Claxton helps them win too...
Ultimate Trade: Rui + Knecht + Kleiber + 2032 1st + #55 to Utah for Collins + #21 + our 2027 1st back. We could then trade 2026,2028,and 2030 in...
Goga would be the back-up center. I get that. Yanic would be the third string.
I understand what you are saying. It does make sense.
TRADE RUI + KLEIBER + KNECHT TO UTAH FOR COLLINS AND OUR 27 PICK BACK
You are right. We owe the 2027 to Utah, so that would violate the Stepian rule. Imo, Brooklyn would prefer another first over Knecht.
GOGA COULD DUNK THE BALL, WHICH IS GOOD. BUT IS HE GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT LOB THREAT OFE LUKA?
LAL: CLAXTON + #26 BKN: KLEIBER + GABE + MILTON + 2026 1ST + 2031 1ST
TRADE FOR A 2025 1ST, THEN WE COULD TRADE OUR 2026 AND 2031 1STS. THIS WOULD BE BRILLIANT. EXAMPLE: 1. TRADE KNECHT+SHAKE+GOODWON TO ORL FOR...
