The Clippers could offer the full MLE to Capela after that


Lakers prefer WCJ

So just get him from Knecht+Maxi


What u base lakers prefering wcj over zubac on? I dont really see any way they would


WCJ is the better Jokic defender and is able to shoot the 3 well.

To get Zubac back rather then going all IN for Kessler ... Who Is the next Zubac LOL at 23 years old BTW

Clippers will want; Vando OR Reaves, Knecht and at least 1 FRP.

Got to be real Laker Fans :lol:

So what would you all Laker fans want?

Zubac expericenced with 8 Years also 27 years old. will cost probably Vando or Reaves along with Knecht and FRP - maybe more.

OR

Kessler who's 23 can be your Center for the next 10 years (The next 10 years) etc BUT will cost ... Knecht 2 FRP's and someone else to make a a trade to happen?

Hmmm... Take your pics people ... Kessler OR Zubac?

So basicly nothing luka asked for or prefer? Guess it depends on if lakers believe they will go into a full rebuild 27 or plan to compete. Basicly do we go for the guy that helps us most in 4 games/year or the guy that fits better the other 78 games and might make luka resign. Cant speak on jokic defender, not watched clippers of magic play nuggets.

I think it depends what the other thing is. Dont think lakers include reaves for either of them.

In the end it probably ends up a steal from nico. Like pj, lively gafford for rui knecht vando

Well WCJ is like a better version of Kleber.

In terms of vertical threat I think Lakers just keep Hayes.

Remember when the Lakers traded Zubac? Ivica Zubac and forward Michael Beasley from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for center Mike Muscala at the 2019 trade deadline. That didn't exactly work out.

WCJ is at about 20% from 3pt range.

Do you think they would do it if it includes FRP?..(I think it's a price Lakers would pay) something like Hachimura/Knecht+FRP for Zubac/Batum.. they would have a full MLE to replace Zubac in free agency (Capela/B.Lopez) and after this trade the Clippers would have up to +- 60 million in negotiable contracts (Hachimura/Knecht/Bogdan/K.Brown/Eubanks/Dunn/DJJ) and up to 4 FRP available to trade...they could even make a very solid offer for KD, Markkanen or someone like Randle

I don't know, not only do clippers like Zubac their fans seem to as well, might finish his career there? But yes I think It would take a FRP to get him.

Just doubtful the right way to go for lakers is to trade away guys on lukas timeline. Getting guys like batum is like a 1 year fix, but if u start to fill up rosterspots with old vets and not longterm fixes, why would luka see a future with lakers?

No worries, as Clippers wouldn't consider that. A distant first, when they don't have any control of their own until around that time, an older prospect that seems to be on the tip of being 3&Nothing, and a four, where they already have better guys available? I mean, sure, they can make other moves, but who gives up one of the leagues best defensive anchors for that?

Not to mention, doing Batum dirty again in a sentimental aspect

Which center do you like to pair with Luka? That we can guess is available? I don't think Kessler/Poelt/probably Zubac etc are available with the Lakers assets. As for Luka I think he is devastated by the betrayal, but I doubt he blames the Lakers and historically they know how to treat their guys, it is rare for a star player to leave LA of his own free will and I assume Luka wants stability.

Who knows. Cant say what guys will cost and if its in range. But can say Luka sure aint happy, and lakers is probably the most unstable place to be in atm. Everything is up to lebron and it goes from year to year so no longtime plan at all. Mavs were also known for taking care of their players and loyalty, and now they will never be again. And lakers traded AD. Things just changed forever. I think Luka wants back to texas, both because he and the wife loved ut there, it would haunt nico, abd both houston and spurs got bright futures
