Lakers trade #6 for...

1AndDone · Post #1 » by **1AndDone** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 9:45 pm

Assuming the draft order stays true, what could the Lakers get for the #6 pick?

Rondo

Afflalo+12 for Nash+6th?

Nash/#6 for Rondo seems to make the most sense. Nash/#6 for Milsap if Atlanta wants to blow it up?

not Kevin Love.

Rondo, in my opinion, is worth more than 6 in this draft. He's still fairly young, on a good deal, and without him it means the Celtics are in a full scale rebuild. I don't think they are going that route. I think they are going to try to add pieces and contend.

I wouldn't trade Rondo for Smart/Vonleh if I were Boston.

For the #5 pick to get Exum....along with I don't know what.

Boston wants to contend they say, so be it. Throw one of those overpaid role players to LA for #6 and a 2nd and get better value contracts with cap space.

he has a year left on his deal. Extended you can make that argument, but Im not sure he's even worth the #6 if there's a risk he walks and I always value veterans more than picks.

I probably should have been more clear. By good deal, I meant he isn't an overpaid veteran. At 12.9, I feel he is very fairly compensated.

I agree with you point too. At least with veterans you know what you have. Not saying I wouldn't consider dealing Rondo if it meant Wiggins or Parker (maybe Embiid, but the back scares me). Beyond that, I'm not doing it. Not without other pieces coming back too. And Nash doesn't count, as sad as that is.

Interesting responses so far.

I was looking at the trade history of picks 5-7 over the past 10 years or so. Here's what we have:

2004: Mavs trade Antawn Jamison for #5 (Harris), Stackhouse and Laettner
2007: Sonics trade Ray Allen and #34 (Baby) to BOS for #5 (Green), Szczerbiak and West
2009: Wolves trade Mike Miller/Randy Foye to WAS for #5 (Rubio), Thomas, Songalia and Pecherov

Though the sample size is small and two of the three trades involved Ernie Grunfeld, there is a loose standard:

a) getting back a recent all-star or two top-8 rotation players
b) unloading a bad contract (Nash in this case) in the process

Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler? Chicago would likely target Smart or Vonleh with #6.

trading the 6th pick for average players or non star players that affect 2014 and 2015 cap room is a NON starter.

OK so if the Lakers keep the pick then how are they going to make the playoffs next year?

Posted this on the Bucks board:

Bucks trade: Knight, Henson, Middleton, Wolters, Raduljica, #31, #36, 2015#1 top 10 protected

LA trades: Nash, #6

Before you guys trash it LA right now has 4 players under contract for 36.5 after the draft they will have 5 players for 40.5. They don't have to just fill out the roster they need to fill out the roster with guys that can play.

After this trade they have 10 guys under contract for about $34.5 leaving 28.5 million for 2 players.

Say they go after Anthony starting at 20 million and Gortat at 8.5 million.

A lineup of
Marshall
Kobe
Carmelo
Henson
Gortat

Bench of
Knight
Middleton
Wolters
Raduljica
Sacre
#31
#36

actually gives them a chance to compete next year. And if Kobe comes back healthy, a darkhorse shot at the title. One thing is for sure. If LA is planning on competing next year they need to get some talented cheap talent.

Horford.

Ideally a third team gets Nash and Atlanta gets a center.

Atlanta gets Lakers pick and a true center for Horford.

Gasol (re-signed 2 year deal)
Horford
?
Bryant
?

Decent start before free agency kicks in.

Would consider DeRozan for 6th and that assumes Smart is available. No Nash
LAL getting a young all star on a great contract.

Trade 6th to Detroit for 8th & 38th and the right to exchange 1sts. in 2016.
Trade 8th, 37th & 38th to Phoenix for 14th, 18th & 27th.

I like your idea. The Lakers need to think outside the box with this pick (unless they land in the top 3) because w/ Kobe making $24million, filling roster spots will be tough. Next to Kobe, Knight and Henson would be improved. All hinges on them getting Melo. Pretty good team if it all panned out. This is an easy trade for the Bucks.
