Free agency and team building going forward

[Astaluego]

Reaves would be a perfect fit in Dallas right now, so... Reaves for Christie/Hardy + Lakers 29 back...
Then he has to negotiate with the Jazz. 2 unprotected FRP (29/31) + unprotect the 2027 pick and Maxi/Hardy/Vincent contracts for Kessler/Sexton...
trade Vandervilt+SRP (I think he would fit well with the Bulls who have centers who shoot the 3) for J.Smith

Kessler/J.Smith
LeBron/DFS
Hachimura/Knecht
Christie/FA B.Brown
Luka/Sexton

why CHI will take on Vandervilt and his contract, in which they have just resigned Patrick William, who also play the same position in PF?

Dont see lakers trading reaves for guards. From whats being said they only trade him for someone equal important but frontcourt. My guess is that it would be something around lively if its with mavs. Gafford is a big no, unless its for someone like rui. Dont know what people are smoking wanting gafford as starter. Mavs lost every series when he were on the floor, but it was less then how much positive they were with lively. But now when u listen around it sounds like Gafford is a big deal, he is not. I love the guy, but he is amazing as backup 5, not starter.

I agree with your assessment of Gafford, an excellent backup but he falls short as a starter on a contender. I love Lively, but he can't play more than 20 minutes a game and even then, he can't stay healthy.

Bron & Bronny to Cavs for a Big

Cavs are good but too young and need experience.
Bron takes a cut for signed and trade to retire in Cleveland.

Time to go.
He can feel people don't want him here anymore.

40 years is enough the Lakers have done their part for Bron.

Time to help the Lakers future.

The deal that needs to happen is LeBron (re-signed for less), bronny, Vando, Dalton, Rui, and Kleiber for Isaac, Allen and Mitchell.... ticket sales will go through the roof for the Cavs

The Cavs already sold out every home game the last few years.

[loveshaq007]

sell out at higher prices and LeBron jersey sales too

I doubt they would raise ticket prices much more than they already have planned and jersey sales are shared.

[Liam_Gallagher]

Ironically Mark Williams is the exact type of player I want the team to acquire.

[loveshaq007]

Guerschon Yabusele (4/60), Grimes, #3, #35, Bona and Oubre (if he opts in) ... for bronny, lebron (re-signed to make deal work)..... try to get 20 mil in cap space

try trade #3, kleiber, rui, bona, Dalton Vando for sabonis and #42

trade cap space, AR #35, #42 for derrick white and horford


white/Grimes/Luka/yuba/sabonis

[loveshaq007]

another trade to consider is with the clippers...

LeBron(34mil) bronny, and kleiber (this should give us 8 mil trade exception).. for norman, zubac, #30 and second rp

use second round pick and exception for Payton p

[Beethoven]

^Zubac would be amazing. I still think we just loaned him to the clippers .. like a very overdue library book.

Even if we didn't moronically trade him for Mike freakin' Muscala, I'm sure he's moved in one of the other 20 trades we've made since then.

[Lakers24gm]

PF- LeBron James - Dorian Finney Smith - Jarred Vanderbilt
C- Goga Bitaze - Jericho Sims - James Wiseman

Lakers keep there 1 first while putting out a competitive team for next year.

If we can somehow acquire Clingan, Johnathan Issac and WCS, our front court will be set with maybe an athletic rookie C or vet min C

Small ball: WCS and Johnathan Issac
Against Bulky centers (Jokic, Zubac etc) : Clingan, JI

Clingan should be good to pair with Luka with his size, good hands, solid pick and roll game and excellent BBIQ

I wouldn't mind trading AR and knect and maybe absorb the bad contract of grant for the sake of getting Clingan
