NYRaider Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) The Lakers are going to trade for Buddy and Turner next. Bev - Buddy - Bron - AD - Turner If they're healthy in the playoffs they could make a title run. Edited August 26, 2022 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Hield infatuation he’s a prolific all timer made threes per game but do the LAL really want his $18M contract on the books next summer? If they grab Hield - that again removes them from Kyrie signing a max there. This is of course under the assumption the Lakers have trouble trading Hield (an expiring contract) I like Nunn and Reaves too part of their playoff rotation at guard. Walker IV we’ll see how he fits. That Lakers squad is probably a top 5 seed (even healthy) - defensively thats a scary big team with AD at 4. Turner will actually need to be prepared for touches against the smaller matchups. Hope his post game is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxsuck05 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Anyone who thought that the Jazz would want an RJ Barrett on the verge of an inevitable (overpaying) extension is a dope. He's our problem for 5 years and no one else's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Seeing what Gobert and Mitchell went for, is there a team that even has the assets to pull of a Giannis trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you mean with other teams not giving up their best player. It would depend on Milwaukee's opinion of young players. 24 hours ago Cleveland could have put together a deal around Mobley. Same thing with Toronto around Scottie Barnes. OKC before Chet's injury. But again...depends on Milwaukee's opinions of those players. In an alternate universe where Giannis demands a trade, I think New Orleans has enough to make an offer that Milwaukee would be okay receiving.

New Orleans might be the only real option and I'd need Zion back in order to even consider it. Giannis would never do it (he's leveraging himself to get Khris one last payday with those Bulls comments lol), but it'd take a pretty substantial proven piece and then picks in order for it to happen. We could get all our picks back from them and their first rounders as well as LA's first, as it stands. Fun to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get all our picks back from them and their first rounders as well as LA's first, as it stands. Fun to think about. Zion, Dyson Daniels, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy III And then... 2023 New Orleans 1st Round Pick, 2024 LA Lakers 1st Round Pick, 2025 Milwaukee 1st Round Pick, 2025 New Orleans 1st Round Pick, 2027 Milwaukee 1st Round Pick, 2027 New Orleans 1st Round pick Eliminate pick swaps for Milwaukee in 2024 and 2026. Create new pick swaps for 2024 and 2026. That leaves New Orleans with a lineup of... PG: Jose Alvarado / Devonte Graham SG: CJ McCollum / Garrett Temple SF: Brandon Ingram / Naji Marshall PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo / Larry Nance C : Jonas Valanciunuas / Jaxson Hayes I'd only do that if I'm New Orleans if Giannis agrees to an extension beforehand. Otherwise it isn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it isn't worth it. Well, it would need to be adjusted for next offseason considering Zion is a poison pill contract right now and it's impossible to match money because of that. That's a deal I take if he wants out. He's gonna retire a Buck but that's not the thought experiment we're trying to achieve here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 2 pt gm with like a minute left. giannis blocks zubac then comes down and catches an alley oop, rotates to block a jumper that looked wide open and gets an and-1. greece wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
