Shams: Luka Doncic to the Lakers

DanishLakerFan · Post #41 » by **DanishLakerFan** » Sun Feb 2, 2025 6:53 am

I dont even know what to say. Luke is top 2-3 player at 25years, so i guess you had to do it, but jeeeez.

Wonder if they follow up with a Lebron deal?

But got to do it!

BTW, Kleber has a broken foot so he is most likely out for season.

Lakers need to get a few bigs starting with Turner/ Kessler or at least Sharpe.

Lively II instead of Kleber would've been fair to solve the major C issue now without AD.

Luka/Vincent
Vando/Reaves/Milton
DFS/Knecht/Reddish
Lebron/Rui/Kleber
(Trade for a Center)/Hayes/Morris

Knecht, Rui, 2031 1st + Swaps are immediately on the table for a Center now. Will greatly miss AD and Christie but I have a feeling they will be successful on the Mavs. Exciting news Lakers Nation!

Knecht and Rui are untouchables. Didn't you get the memo?

I think Bron walks or asks for trade In offseason, I think he'll hold It out

But this Is the NBA where anything can happen and there still what 4 days left?

A lot can happen In the NBA .

I'm thinking Lakers going to try and get Myles Turner. But honestly who knows, not even the players new they were getting traded at least they say.

Dallas wasnt going to give rookies in the deal.

They wanted Max’s play and contract to improve and get under luxury tax. It was a smart financially motivated deal to not give Luka super max deal and strap their finances.

Yeah was a pleasure to see Max become such an integral and complete player but cannot have him hold up a deal to get Luka.

Think the Lakers FO is gonna swing for the fences now, hopefully!

Is Myles Turner Next ???

Could be. Personally I would prefer Kessler as he's younger and more physical and just overall better defensively imo (Knecht + Unprotected 31 1st + Swap if the Jazz comply?) but I'd be happy with either.

LeBron to GS already has some rumor legs... IDK, though... what do they have besides picks and the guys bron will want to be playing with? I'm looking for an Indiana trade for Turner. FRP and what gets that done?

Ainge-hole won't do it for our current assets. He would have wanted 2 1sts and Rui/Reeves plus god knows what

This is the truth, I dreamed last year that Luka was a laker and we won the championship. I woke up and said how amazing if we could pull that off. ..

I wouldnt be surprised if we traded Bron at this point. He must see that we basically chose the future over him which he has to understand any team would do in that situation.
