2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

If Jaxson doesn't have to start he should be able to have a really strong year doing whatever is asked of him, especially when out there with Luka as a vertical threat and often against other bench players rather than starters which turned out to be too much for him especially in the playoffs.

But I too am intrigued by what Maxi can give us while he's still here.

 

Three-team trade:

LAL gets: Nesmith

UTA gets: Knecht, 2027 LAL 1st (1-4), 2028 LAL swap, 2030 LAL swap, 2030 IND 1st (top-13 protected), 2031 LAL 1st (unprotected)

IND gets: Kessler, Vincent, 2026 LAL swap, 2032 LAL 2nd.

LAL gets highly switchable 3 and D player they need.

UTA gets young shooter in Knecht, and get a significant pick haul.

IND gets franchise big man in Kessler. Would be a good long-term combo with Haliburton. Vincent helps short-term in the backcourt.

 

Congrats Russell on the engagement.

 

Lebron would destroy any of those wings on Houston.

 

Teams I’m worried about OKC Minnesota Denver Golden State

 

The firecrackers are going to implode! That is all...carry on.

 

It is likely then that you have notes on the squad forever known as the "Emotionals".
