Nets-Lakers-Hawks-Pelicans

[R-DAWG]

Brooklyn: DeAngelo Russell
LAL: Dejounte Murray, Larry Nance Jr
ATL: Dyson Daniels, Jalen Hood-Schifino, Max Christie, Spencer Dinwiddie, 2024 LAL 1st Rd Pick (unprotected), 2025 1st rd pick via Brooklyn (lessor of PHX/BK/HOU - then swapped to the middle of LAL/NO), 2026 1st rd pick swap via LAL (top-2 protected)
New Orleans: Clint Capela, 2025 unprotected LAL pick swap

NOTE: NEW ORLEANS RETURNS THE LAKERS 2024/2025 1st Rd pick in exchange for a 2025 unprotected pick swap

Why for Brooklyn - Brooklyn uses their lesser value assets to land a point guard upgrade.

Why for LAL: Murray represents an upgrade from Russell, but not significant enough IMO to throw in the 2029 1st. So LA basically gives up all their draft equity/young talent prior to 2027.

Why for ATL: Move off Murray/Capela for 3 rookie scale players, 2 1st rd picks and a swap

Why for New Orleans - use lesser value assets to upgrade the C position (Daniels plus mid level 1st for Capela).

The Nets are not paying a 1st for DLo. They're much more likely to ask for an asset for taking on his extra year. The Lakers can't trade a '24 pick, only '29.

Why would the Pel's send back the Lakers pick? when its already a 2024/2025 pick swap Pel's get to pick which year they want it. Also Pel's will now have 2 centers on the roster would can start in JV and Clint? makes no sense. This is wasting assets for the Pels to help the Lakers out? why would they help the lakers? Lakers 2024/2025 pick swap holds a lot of value. Also Nets cant trade there 2025 pick bc its already in a past deal with the rockets. so this entire trade isn't valid.
