Kings/Lakers/Heat 

Post#1 » by Astaluego » Sun Apr 20, 2025 10:41 am

KINGS
In: Hachimura/Rozier/Knecht
Out:Lavine

The Kings are expiring Lavine's contract, while filling some obvious positional holes (PG/PF).. they get a prospect to sweeten the deal and put themselves in a better position for a potential reshuffle.

Monk/DDR/Murray/Hachimura/Sabonis
Rozier/Ellis/Knecht/LaRavia/JV

LAKERS
In: Wiggins
Out: Hachimura/Knecht/Milton

They consolidate on the wing, getting a better player to win now

HEAT
In:Lavine/Milton
Out:Rozier/Wiggins

The Heat get the most talented player in the deal, Lavine's biggest flaws should be minimized by playing for arguably the best coach in the league.

The Heat are building a "big" 4 with plenty of complements to fill out the lineup depending on the needs.

Herro/Lavine/Bam/Ware. + Ware/Highsmith/Kyle/Davion/Duncan/Larsson/Jovic/Jazquez....



Thoughts?
Would you include a Vandervilt/Valanciunas swap?


Trade 2

Would NETS work here or is it too big/unrealistic?

NETS
In: Vandervilt/Maxi/Lakers31/Lakers FRP Swap 32/Heat FRP/Jovic/Robinson
Out: Claxton/Cam Johnson/Knicks FRP

LAKERS
In: Claxton
Out: Vandervilt/Maxi/FRP 31/Swap 32


HEAT
In:Cam
Out: Robinson /Jovic/Heat FRP

Herro/Lavine/C.Johnson/Bam/Ware
Mitchell/Larsson/Jazquez/Highsmith/Love
Old Mike Lorenzo

This is an easy no thanks for Miami. No interest in LaVine

The Cam portion is interesting but I don't think the nets touch it

Agree with all this.

I don't care for Wiggins and would be happy to see him go, but Lavine is not the player Miami needs.

Cam Johnson, however, would be a great fit in Miami, but I think the Nets will probably want more than Miami would be willing to give.

If MIA (or anyone) wanted Lavine, they could have had him for anything a while ago. Kings are stuck holding him until he’s a giant expiring unless they want to pay for hopes removal. Still an incredible offensive player, but that contract :nonono:

Ironically, reminiscent of MIN ERA Wiggins
