The LeBron James All-NBA (2nd) and Luka Doncic - 24-25 Thread

[zimpy27]

I could handle Lonzo and Val.. that would be Rui+Vincent+JHS. I'm not sure what the compensation needs to be though.


Reaves, Christie, DFS, LeBron, Davis
Lonzo, Knecht, Vando, Wood, Val
Bronny, Milton, Reddish, $3m buyout, Hayes


It's actually a perfect trade because Lakers can also grab a buyout player.

Would the kings give up Monk if they move Fox?

Would be a great 6th man for us

Mathurin seems like a rumored potential option

Rates as a negative on EPM and LEBRON though

[zimpy27]

RW3 looks like he's the option. I'm wondering if RW3 and Banton will be the target. Or RW3 and Lonzo.

[Doug_12]

If Kessler is off the market, I would try to do moves that doesn't take our draft capital away. Brogdon/Ball and Jonas/Timelord seems to be then the best targets. Vucevic is probably the best player out there (among the realistic targets), but I hate that fit.

RW3 looks like he's the option. I'm wondering if RW3 and Banton will be the target. Or RW3 and Lonzo.

What about RW3 and Camara?

[nzahir]

What teams you guys think would give some (very light, like 1-2 2nds or a comparable player) back for Rui?

Monk isn’t worth a 1st from us, but I wonder if Rui and a swap can get it done

Can also swap with OKC next year for a draft pick

Or unprotect the Utah pick for a late 1st of theirs?

If Kessler is truly out and Indi won’t move Turner, then shift to RW3

I feel like he can be had with one of the strategies above and Gabe

Add JHS and 2nds get back Banton?

Or Rui+2nds for ZO or Rui for a swap for a shooter like Duncan Robinson?

Wonder if Poetl can be had for Rui and swapping with OKC for a 1st/pick from Utah and some 2nds?

Just not moving our 29 or 31 1sts unless it’s Kessler, Turner, someone on that tier or better that’s unexpected, or someone young like Mathurin

[zimpy27]

That would require an FRP. I don't hate it though

Just goes to show you how hard it is to make it to the nba. Bronny has the goat as his dad. Smartest mind ever. Every ounce of training facility at his disposal since he was born and still sucks so bad.

Makes you appreciate a guy like Reaves and how hard he had to work to become what he is.

I’m sure lebron wanted his son to be even better than he was. I wonder if bron ever thinks, damn bronny sucks, where did i go wrong? He can still love bronny but be severely disappointed inside

I want him to succeed bad but the whole thing is bordering on ridiculous lack of impulse control. We should be celebrating a follow up game after his 31 pt performance in the G-league game with another. Locking in habits and muscle memory. Instead he's being clowned because they have no patience for the kid to be a Nba player. Even the way he checks in looking more nervous about twirling his hair. The whole thing will kill his drive or confidence if he gets it too easy. At least pretend to make him have to work for it instead of rushing to make him heir to a throne.

Monk is better than all of the guards that are supposedly available. I don't think Sacramento is willing to trade him, though. Seems like they want to remain competitive after dealing Fox.

[Stein] The prevailing leaguewide sense is that the Pacers do not want to trade Turner. There is a strong belief among some league personnel that Indiana would need to see proposals that return a starting-level center to even consider the notion.

So its either Turner is out for us or it would need to be a 3 teamer and they get back a C like Vuc, Jakob, Claxton, Nurk?, etc

Looking bleak on Turner and Kessler

Who do you guys prefer between Rw3, Mitchell Robinson, Poetl, Claxton, Vuc, Nurk?

Would you guys swap our 2026 1st with OKC for one of their late 1sts and use in a deal here/another guy?

Is it worth spending a 1st/Knecht on Mathurin? Feels like we cant keep waiting for the "the guy"

Fox is out for us

Does Atlanta blow up Trae Young era this summer? Maybe, but maybe not

Kyrie probably stays in Dallas

You mean a 2 for 1 trade? Like we trade our '26 1st for two of their worst '25 picks? Because afaik we can't trade the '26 pick for a single '25 1st, as that would mean we go 2 consecutive years without 1st round picks.

If yes: Not sure if they would do that as '26 is quite close and we are not looking like a lottery team yet. Trading 2 mid-late 1sts for 1 mid-late 1st in the upcoming year is not the deal of the century...

No

We give OKC the right to swap with us next year. Which would likely happen since u expect them to be better

So say we have the 20th pick and they have the 29th pick, they would swap their pick with us

But to give them the rights to swap with us, we ask for a 1st round pick back from their war chest of draft pick

At least a 1st, maybe some 2nds if we can

This is how the Mavs got Gafford last year iirc with OKC's help

Can use that draft capital to get a C/bench playmaker/scorer if we dont want to give up our 29 or 31 1st

[Fadeaway_J]

This Wizards team should be relegated.

[zimpy27]

Hayes looks a lot better than Val...

Maybe not trading for the guy

[TroubleS0me]

[bballcool34]

Anyone see the injury? Do we think AD will be okay within a few weeks?

[nzahir]

Val isnt good

Thoughts on Demar if we cant find a 3rd playmaker?

Not an option I like, rather get Monk from Sac if possible

Swap our 26 pick with OKC and ask for a 1st back (plus maybe 1-2 2nds?) or unprotect our 27 jazz 1st and get a 1st back

Swing Rui+Salary filler+draft asset to Sac for Monk

If we cant get Turner or Kessler, then RW3 is next up

Vincent+salary+2 2nds for RW3? Maybe if we do a deal with OKC we have an extra 2nd to move. Other option is 29 lotto protected (becomes nothing if not converyed)+2 2nds

Reaves, Christie, DFS, Bron, AD
Monk, Knecht, Vando, RW3

Sign RoCo or Justin Holiday?

I dont see Knecht as a playoff rotation guy right now, so bench could be weak

[Ian Scuffling]

They're saying about a week. But, as usual with the Lakers, take that with a grain of salt
