Another LAL with Wash, Drummond and Oubre 

Post#1 » by jayjaysee » Sat Sep 27, 2025 9:47 pm

These are all bad. I don’t know how many I’ll kick out.

LAL: Maxi, Dalton
LAL: Drummond, Oubre, a second

LAL gets some decent depth pieces that they could actually use. Opens enough apron space to use the 15th spot to use a true vet?

Ayton/Dre/Hayes
Rui/Vandy
LBJ/Jake
Reaves/Oubre
Luka/Smart/Vincent

(Or whatever you think?)

Washington: top 55 protected second
Washington: Maxi and Dalton

Washington pays Maxi to get Dalton and see if he’s the guy that started the season or ended it..

Philly: Dre, Oubre, a second
Philly: top 55 protected second

tax space for Grimes? Didn’t understand the rumor but seems a fair price if this was their goal.

Lakers should take this and run if it's offered. both Drummond and Oubre have their flaws but are simply much more productive players than Maxi or Knecht have any real hope of being. The 2nds should be going out from LA to Washington

LAL has no seconds to pay.

I figured Philly would pay a second to clear the money, if we believe the report that they want to save money.

LAL should do the deal without the second if it’s a hold up for Philly.

I like the drummond to LAL part but not oubre. They have lebron/hachinura/Laravia/Vanderbilt already

I have Lakers prioritizing ducking tax + 2 buyout vet min slots over having Drummond/Oubre.
In general, I don't have Drummmond as rotation level player on a good team, healthy Maxi is more useful tha n both.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
