Ideas to get the Lakers a 5?

[wvlfhawk]

They need a center before the deadline now. Another perimeter defender would be nice too.

Jonas Valanciunas comes to mind. Maybe for Vanderbilt and a couple 2nds? That was first idea that came to mind for me.

Or, for Vincent. Then bring reaves off the bench. But then start who at the 2? Reddish?

There’s probably a few big, low-usage defensive type centers that could salary match with either of those contracts. Let me know what comes to mind for yall

[HornetJail]

They could probably trade Vincent for Jokic and Sabonis if my understanding of the NBA is correct

[zimpy27]

RW3 should be prime target given their lack of assets

[Crazy-Canuck]

Rui and filler for Wiggins, loon and 5 unprotected picks post steph. Just because its the lakers.

[The Beam King]

Valanciunas is the obvious answer.

[Mamba4Goat]

Nurkic, maybe? Something like Kleber and Vando for him?

A lot of their tradeable salaries aren’t really that good. Knecht moves the needle a little but I wouldn’t add him unless it’s a steal.

[SlimShady83]

Kessler ... Turner ... Lakers are All In.
This Is the NBA anything happen

If Lakers get Jonas I will be upset again, this Luka trade Is just wow.

[kobe_vs_jordan]

My guess maxi plus Gabe for a center. Maybe Nuk, Vuc. I would target Draymond personally.

[babyjax13]

I'd really like Poeltl for them.

[JRoy]

Salary for Jokic

Feel like you need someone heavier you’ll probably have to get through Jokic. Kessler, Poeltl, Nurk etc

[HornetJail]

I'd really like Poeltl for them.

the sun's might actually get competitive in a prospective series because of how badly Nick Richards abuses Poeltl every time they match up lol, it's like the one matchup he consistently looks like a god

They could afford Nurk but none of the others I don't think

[Coxy]

The Lakers are now fresh out of assets to trade really, so they should be realistic and adjust their radars towards guys like Jokic and Wemby.

[KuzControl]

Poeltl. Rui, Wood and the 2031 1st

[ejftw]

Mike Muscala

[Apz]

Considering mavs lost their minds, a 2nd for gafford and lively?

[babyjax13]

Jalen Smith?

[vxmike]

The Lakers have a bunch of tradeable contracts plus FRPs left to trade. With a bunch of Centers on the market they can make a strong move.

1) Throw everything at Myles Turner
2) 2nds + filler for Jonas
3) Poetl
4) Capela

It’s a buyers market for Centers and that’s the only position LAL needs. They’re probably gonna win the title.

[davidv2001]

I think the Lakers get Capela. Luka needs a guy that can play above the rim as a lob threat. Poeltl and Valanciunas don’t really play that way.
