Lakers Trade IDEAS

[Pythagoras]

I still don’t think Westbrook is getting traded, but, if you combine a couple of interesting rumors with the Spurs, you could potentially get a three team deal that looks like:

Poeltl to the Raptors

Trent Jr, Richardson, McDermott to the Lakers

Westbrook and two firsts, one from the Raptors and one from the Lakers

[KuzControl]

Not sure Poeltl to the Raptors happens. Doesn't seem like the greatest fit with Precious/Koloko already there

In regards to us - I can see a world in where PatBev + Lonnie + protected 27 1st for GTJ gets over the line

Leaves us with a nicely consolidated rotation:

PG: Schroder - Westbrook
SG: GTJ - Reaves
SF: Bron - TBJ
PF: Rui - Gabriel
C: Davis - Bryant

Lots of scoring punch

we estimate how much power his expiring contract will have the off season, especially for those who are trying to unload bad contracts. I'm not for us trading our pics in Westbrook for the deal with spurs. I don't see that center to be that amazing. Turner>>>

I rather us deal with Atlanta to get Collins and that you g center. they might just pay us to take Collins.

I can see us trading Westbrook and two first for d Murray, Collins, and holliday.... than trading Collins to Indiana or utah

[Pythagoras]

I keep coming back to Gary Trent, because of potential trade targets for the Lakers, he’s the most getable.

If Pelinka can bring a superstar with the expirings plus rounds you don't trade nothing. You aren't going to win a ring with this roster even with the West being trash right now.

I really like the idea of bringing in Gary Trent Jr. Lonnie started off the year great and has been fun to watch, but realistically we probably can't/won't retain him past this season. We seem like a natural third team for the rumored Raptors/Spurs discussions:

LAL receives: Gary Trent Jr.
TOR receives: Jakob Poeltl, Damian Jones
SAS receives: Patrick Beverley, protected 2027 LAL FRP

The backcourt rotation stays crowded with Schroeder, Russ, Trent Jr., Reaves and Walker, but like I said I don't think Lonnie (and maybe even Dennis) will be back next season. Trent Jr. is only 24, between him and Reaves we could have the SG spot locked down for the foreseeable future.

You think they are doing Dejounte Murray for Westbrook? That’s insane. Do you realize what they just gave up to get him and now LAL will get Collins taboot that is just is ludicrous.

Just a thought - the Bev/Lonnie package can get us GTJ from the Raptors (from a money perspective), but it can also get us Hield. Reckon that both are talent upgrades that help us in areas we're lacking - question is, which do people prefer?

GTJ: younger, better defender
Hield: more cost-controlled, better pure shooter, should be cheaper to obtain

Yeah I brought up the idea regarding Hield on another thread for a Bev, Lonnie, 1st package. Not sure what the market will be, and if the 1st will be necessary, but assuming they are both available for the same exact package;

To answer your question, I prefer Hield. Seeing Lebron, AD, and I'm guessing Russ with a proven elite shooter like Hield is way too intriguing for me to pass up. Especially in this up tempo offense. Asset/contract wise GTJ might be the younger player with more potential moving forward, but his contract with the player option isn't too appealing for me. Player options are dangerous...in a situation like the lakers right now you could easily end up being forced to over pay him.


I honestly think that's the ideal next move right now; Bev, Lonnie, 1st for a guard upgrade, and while I would be happy with GTJ, I prefer Hield.

lmao and let's throw in D.Hunter for Lonnie Walker.....why not?

I'm a fan of both GTJ and Hield, so would also be happy either way. Hield I think would only take a lottery protected first, maximum, which is super enticing for what we need

Honestly, I see trading for Hield as a much better option than the popular option of trading for Bojan - 1) we have the size we lacked now with Rui, so the three-inch difference between Hield and Bojan is irrelevant; 2) Hield is a good bit younger, Bojan's production could fall off a cliff at any given moment

[DanishLakerFan]

Please just trade Westbrook already. Once Reaves and Lonnie are back the 1-2 position pretty much set and Westbrook seems to constantly lead the team in negative +/- numbers.

We need shooting, defense and wing depth and we need another big man to avoid running Anthony Davis into the ground. With the Rui addition they probably wont be players in free agency either.

Westbrook and picks for:
Detroit: Bogdanovic, Burks, Noel (or Bagley).
Spurs: Buckets, Richardson, Poeltl.
Hornets: Hayward, PJ, Plumlee.

I agree 100%. Bojan shouldn't even be considered right now...He doesn't fit after the Rui trade...There aren't enough minutes left in the front court, especially in the modern NBA where sometimes you might need to run 3 guard lineups just for matchup purposes.

The trade deadline is exactly in 2 weeks. These two weeks will define the season imo. 7 games, 5 on the road against solid teams...

With a 2-5 record in the next 7 I can't see the FO pulling the trigger on anything involving 1st rounders, But going 5-2 just might make them go all in....Not saying that's what I would do but I could see the next 7 games having really affecting any possible deadline moves.

[LAKESHOW]

I'm gonna give it up for Westbrook in this sense. He still has a bunch of Fu** it attitude. Which of course get him into trouble. But when there is a Lull in the action, guys tend to stand and watch. Whereas Westbrook will go and push the action. And it works! When guys are standing he will push to carry the Load. The younger guys won't. But with that comes the bad as well as we all know

I really think it will all depend on Ham, who he thinks can play good enough defense. Hield is a better shooter but if Darvin do not like the way he defends then he'll just play very limited minutes.

I doubt there is much to this, but if true, It would probably be the Bev/Lonnie package without any picks attached because the Lakers are doing them a favor at this point. (Can Bev get traded to Utah again rules wise?)

I prefer trading for buddy hield. if they are looking to shed salary. I would hope they willing to shed TJ McConnell, as well. ... lonnie, Beverly, Juan, and jones.... for tj and heild

[LAKESHOW]

I believe in our front court. Rui. Bron. AD. Thomas Bryant. I just am not a firm believer in the 84 Million dollar man, etc. But that just might be where we gonna end up with

Wouldn't mind having Conley in the backcourt-rotation but i would prefer to move Westbrook instead of Bev and Lonnie.
