Lakers/Cavs 

Post#1 » by bgrep14 » Mon Aug 5, 2024 12:16 am

Cavs: Jerome, Niang, and Lavert

Lakers: Rui, Vincent, and Wood

Lakers save roughly 4 million immediately and gets expirings to potentially open up space for another contract for someone next year while maintaining talent. Lavert can be a very useful 6 man.

Lakers: Rui and Wood give them good stretch backup options that they currently lack. Rui may also be able to play 3. Vincent gives them a backup pg and some vet leadership (they can use him as a contract filler in future trades).

Think both teams turn it down. Cavs essentially using 28 million to get 1.5 or 2 rotation players depending what you think of Gabe.

Would think lakers prefer rui and Vincent to this package. Rui a useful six man. Gabe ideally starts and Dlo plays off bench.

No way Cavs take back Vincent. If the Lakers want off of Rui's future money, we can just send them LeVert, but even that probably doesn't happen unless we know what's happening with Okoro.
