Vando/Allen Lakers-Suns 

Post#1 » by Syko_boB » Fri Jun 27, 2025 5:35 am

Suns trade Grayson Allen
Lakers trade Jared Vanderbilt & Shake Milton

PHX adds a lockdown defender & ultimate hustle man to shuffle into their lineup
Milton's non-guaranteed contract (if waived by July) makes the 1st apron a more realistic target as they'll be less than $8m away

Green / Booker / Brooks / Vanderbilt / Williams

LAL consolidates some depth & bring in someone the stars can confidently rely on to knock down some 3s
The added salary might be beneficial as it can be combined to target a new group of trade candidates

Doncic / Reaves / Allen / Finney-Smith / James

Allen>>>Vando
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Lakers would have to give and I don't think the Suns bigs fit with Vando.

Vando ideally plays with a stretch big.

If suns want a pick swap to make it happen sure. Don’t see the benefit for them.

I’d take Vando/Shake for Allen with value but this ain’t it even with the cap savings

I do think Grayson is a good target for Lakers though.

Maybe Rui for Grayson swap.

I think Rui is ideal starting PF for Suns.

The LAKERS owe a value that they can't provide, in my opinion.. I think Vando would look good on the WIZARDS next to a center that can stretch the floor like Sarr, and he's still young enough to fit in and I think Washington could use one more forward, I guess they need a 3rd team that gives the LAKERS a player that they need.

Vandervilt WIZARDS
Holmes + expiring contracts(Lakers )+ Value to NETS or BLAZERS
Ayton or Claxton to LAKERS

I think, at this point, you roll with Dunn and Maluach as your limited offense defenders rather than eat Vando’s deal. Allen could still be moved- for something much better.

lakers just drafted 2 players that doesnt fill gaps. Cant afford throwing assets on other stuff tbh before they fixed the big problems

Grayson Allen might be the better player, but I don't want him on the Lakers' roster.

Is Rui for Allen a fair trade straight up or one side owes value?
