MIL/LAL/BKN

Lakers get: C Brook Lopez (Milwaukee) and F Cameron Johnson (Nets)

Bucks get: PG Gabe Vincent (Lakers) C Jaxson Hayes (Lakers), F Maxwell Lewis (Lakers), 2031 1st round pick (Lakers) and F/G Dariq Whitehead (Nets)

Nets get: PG D'Angelo Russell (Lakers), PF Rui Hachimura (Lakers), PG Jalen Hood-Schifino (Lakers) and G Pat Connaughton (Bucks), 2029 1st round pick (Lakers), 2031 2nd round pick (76ers)

Lakers-- LA parts with some assets and shed salary to get a starting center, a starting wing shooter, and open up the full MLE to sign a free agent like Tyus Jones or DeRozan (if that ship hasn't sailed).

Bucks-- Get a center on their roster and more importantly save 17 million- so now they can re-sign Beasley and stay under 2nd apron. Vincent likely takes over Wright as the backup to Lillard and of course they get a 1st round pick in the deal, but have to forgo a 2nd to unload Connaughton.

Nets-- Get expiring contract of Russell, new start for Hachimura who will likely start for them and more importantly gain two more draft picks including a 2029 first rounder from Lakers, who also send them a young player in JHS.

BRUTALLY bad for the Lakers.

Don't really like it for any of the teams

I don’t think the Bucks want to resign Beasley as his defensive fit next to Dame was brutal. Also the Bucks are in “win now” mode and I don’t see how trading BroLo and Pat C for three fringe playoff rotation players makes them better this year. If ther’s a way to move Vincent and the 2031 1st for a starting caliber SG I might consider it.

Nets have no reason to move Whitehead right before Summer League when he is at his lowest value coming back from the injury.

My counter proposal:

BRK trades Johnson/Thomas/Sharpe for Lopez/Russell/JHS/29LAL1st/31LAL1st/31MIL1st

LAL trades Russell/JHS/29LAL1st/31LAL1st for Thomas/Sharpe

MIL trades Lopez/31MIL1st for Johnson

My counter proposal:

BRK trades Johnson/Thomas/Sharpe for Lopez/Russell/JHS/29LAL1st/31LAL1st/31MIL1st

LAL trades Russell/JHS/29LAL1st/31LAL1st for Thomas/Sharpe

MIL trades Lopez/31MIL1st for Johnson

That's not any better.
