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

Your team costs the following:

Luka (49.5) / x / Bronny (2.3)
AR (20.9) / Smart (6.5) / x
Watson (30) / Jake (6)
Bron (20) / Trade (16.6) / Adou (2.1)
Ayton (8.1) / Hayes (4.5) / x

The trade is listed as 16.6 for Knecht & Vando, but you will be able to take 24.2m back. You add the 9.1m Room and two vet mins on top. And they you re-sign Reaves to his max of 41. And it puts you at 208.3m.

I wonder if Rui would take the 9.1m? Then maybe the trade could be used for another wing, I know I’ve rambled on about Hart, but he can play 2-4 and do a bit of everything.

 

Emplay has us executing the following trade:


The Los Angeles Lakers receive: Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones and Yves Missi.

The New Orleans Pelicans receive: Jarred Vanderbilt, Jake LaRavia, Adou Thiero, Dalton Knecht, 2026 No. 25, 2031 first-rounder, 2033 first-rounder

With a lineup of:

PG: Luka Dončić, Marcus Smart, Bronny James
SG: Austin Reaves, Luke Kennard, Nick Smith Jr.
SF: Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones
PF: LeBron James, Rui Hachimura
C: Deandre Ayton, Jaxson Hayes, Yves Missi

I don’t mind the trade but I’m hesitant to lose the athleticism of Adou. If we could retain him, I’d consider the trade.

 

That was the name! Haven’t seen it used in a long time. Or is he still using it somewhere else?
