A move for CamJ will involve DLo and will likely require the pick up of a PG in trade or FA, especially if Vincent is in trade instead of Vando.

I'd bet on DSJ as an FA pick up.

I am fine moving Rui instead Dlo if 2 things

1) We are getting a better wing who fits better
2) Rui generates some value in the deal (like 2-3 2nds)

If Dlo isn't generating any 2nds, I will keep him



Rui upgrade is fine but I think it's unlikely because Lakers were really happy with him last couple playoff runs. He has been reliable. I just don't see Lakers wanting to move him. Rather I see them moving some combo of Vincent, Vando, DLo, Wood, Hayes, Reddish, JHS, Knecht.

DLo has been bad in playoffs but great in regular season. I think DLo will be moved but Lakers need a playmaker in return so it's a little complicated losing him for CamJ.

Rui started off poorly in his 1st reg season with us, then had a great playoff run

Then last season was very good when he started or played real min

Then was bad to meh at best in the playoffs, but small sample size

I am cool with getting Cam for Dlo and keeping Rui, but as long as we can get a guard who can create a bit

Not sure I trust Gabe to be that guy, not talented enough

With Lauri off the table, we better see some things start to move

I'm with you. DLo for Cam made more sense when Tyus was on the market.
