PJ and Klay aren't good IMO. Lakers are better off looking elsewhere or letting him expire.

That feels like a weird trade for the Lakers, and a pretty interesting one for Dallas.

Think at minimum Gafford or Lively has to be included.

I do sorta like the balls on LAL to move LBJ. Dont think it happens in the end though.

this looks totally legit...

I feel the opposite, these players would give Lakers more depth and they also looked way better when they played with Luka. Apart from Naji. He was averaging 20ppg when Kyrie and AD were out for a full month. I think it's obvious it's fake news.

I mean, I think it'd be a lot of fun for Dallas. Let Lebron smash PnR with AD all over again, but then they can bring up Flagg and survive and thrive until Kyrie comes back. It could be an exciting team.

If Nico's aim is to see Luka fail, he shouldn't let the Laker have PJ, Klay and Gaff, OTOH, LeBron fits Dallas like a glove...

Why on earth would the lakers do this trade.

The balls? It’s not like they can trade without his consent.

Lakers run a tight ship. I highly doubt this gets out if it were true

You're a Dallas fan, so of course you feel the opposite. I stand on the fact Klay and PJ aren't good. IMO, Gafford and Lively are just better. Also if the Lakers want depth ( which I understand), they can get better than Klay/PJ

Does this actually work in trade machine lol? Without crunching the numbers, I would think that wouldn't be a legal trade based on out going/incoming money.

Mavs have to trade a lot of players to bring in Lebron

I want PJ off Dallas.
I personally don't care for him so him being extended long-term concerns me.

It seems like a win-win for Dallas.

Think it'd have to be PJ/Klay/Gaff to get the money to work, which is fine value for LA with the 2029 pick, tho that kind of kills their future cap space plan. It does recreate the finals Mavs team somewhat with Reaves taking Kyrie's place, though they'd still need a defensive SF. I like it for the Lakers, but thats because i dont like their chances right now so they might as well get something for Lebron that can be useful down the road.

Lakers need a center, mavs have 2 centers, why would the lakers settle for the mavs trash instead of getting one of the mavs centers for Luka?
