2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Klay is close to being done. I wouldn't pay him more than 10-12mil a year but he's as delusional as Green and some other overpaid scrubs...

 

Klay makes too much sense to Orlando. I would be really surprised if they don't sign him. A 2y bloated contract works for Orlando that have Wagner and Ranchero in rookie contracts

DLo makes sense for them too

 

i mean, yes, that's the level of value i'd want back for AD, but a) we still come out on the low end because nobody in the trade has an AD ceiling and b) we're not trading AD unless lebron's also gone AND AD asks out.

 

How Donovan Clingan's, Zach Edey's big game sets them apart

Lol trade for AD.he's better propose something for soccer stars.Apparently he's expert in one now.
Is there is any sport except maybe for chess that he isn't consider to be an analyst

 

Who the f*** is Casson Wallace.
AD was number one draft pick, become Olympic champion before he even played in NBA

 

OKC picks are garbage.They have stipulations attached to them.If I’m trading AD it’s to Orlando where you can get FRP with no attachment

 

Coherd makes some great points. That would be an excellent haul for the Lakers. Williams is a budding superstar, and Wallace is the precise 3 and D type guard you want next to Reaves. Then you get 4 picks? Idk if OKC would want to do this, but Lakers would probably jump on it tbh.

 

Showtime .... you said it yourself, you just like to play trader.



"Budding superstar" who's 6'5" for established one of top big men in the game genuine superstar, in effect blowing the team up now.

Is Balmer offerred him already Half a million?

 

Lakers Nation did its ideal offseason video this morning, the key transactions were:

• Draft Devin Carter at #17
• Draft Bronny at #55
• Acquire Murray in a three-team deal with ATL and BKN (sending out DLo, Rui, and the 2029 FRP, Schroder also goes to ATL along with seconds from BKN)
• Acquire Wendell Carter from ORL for Vincent, Wood + draft compensation
• Re-Sign Prince for 2 yrs, $5.4 million
• Sign Jalen Smith for TPMLE
• Sign Kriss Dunn for vet min

Murray / Dunn / Carter
Reaves / Christie / Bronny
Vando / Prince / Lewis
LeBron / Smith / Reddish
AD / Carter / Hayes

This is their ideal offseason so the transactions are of course maybe a little more favorable to us than what is realistic. I think the return for ATL on the Murray trade is okay, but I'm skeptical we could get him without giving up the two future firsts or at least a first and a swap. The Wendell Carter trade is the weakest part for me, he had some injuries this year and his numbers are down but I don't see why they'd sell low on him right now. I doubt Devin Carter makes it to #17. The rest seems reasonable. This roster would be significantly more athletic than last year's team, and I do agree that should be a theme of the offseason.

 

I recall last year there was some buzz about the Lakers targeting Gordon with the MLE. I wasn’t on board with that, but was very interested in signing him for the minimum. I thought he was a great signing for the Suns at the time

Now? Absolutely not. Not even for the minimum. I feel like I saw him miss every big shot he got with the Suns even though he was often wide open. Undersized one-dimensional guard who will be 36 in December

 

Whole lotta really good pipe there.

 

I hope they will do some realistic versions of these. I mean, they have to both know that Carter isn't dropping to #17, right?

 

Well he's going to say that, I'm sure he wants to be able to opt out and sign for more than $18 million. But its far from clear whether he'll have a better offer on the table from the teams with cap space.

 

No, someone in Philly just showed the rest of the FO how he got the knickname: “Playoff P”
