GSW/LAL/PHX/DAL - half-baked idea because i like chaos and literally nothing's off the table anymore
Posted: Mon Feb 3, 2025 7:40 pm
Warriors trade Kuminga, Podz, Wiggins, Schroeder, Payton, Anderson, Hield, Looney, [picks] for LeBron, KD, Powell
Lakers trade LeBron for Gafford, Hield, Anderson, Payton, [picks]
Suns trade Durant for Kuminga, Marshall, Looney, Schroeder, [picks]
Mavs trade Gafford, Marshall, Powell for Wiggins, Podz

help me decide who gets which picks. Golden State has all their own 1sts and swaps except the 21-30 rights to their 2030 1st (so they can still trade the 1-20 rights)
My gut says that the Warriors trade their 2026 and 2030 (1-20) to LAL, along with another distant swap (2031?). And they send 2025, 2027 swaps to PHX as well as a 2028 GSW 1st.

Golden State goes all the way in for Curry's twilight years with a Steph/Moody/KD/LeBron/Draymond starting five. They give up Wiggins, Kuminga, Podz, 3 picks and 3 swaps and a lot of filler contracts.
The Lakers focus on the next decade with Luka, getting a big man he's very familiar with, and a few picks (2 1sts and a distant swap?) with upside to help work trades.
The Suns start to rebuild adding a young forward in JK and in my proposal, upgrade 2 of their guaranteed late 1sts with swaps (this year likely the difference between #28-30 and #18ish?), and a future pick. A few ok vets in there, as there is no upside to the Suns actually bottoming out.
Mavs balance the roster for a pair of wings, one of them a prospect, one of them an established two-way player albeit on an expensive contract.
