Official Trade Ideas Thread Volume IV

[New Power House]

True. I but i am more looking past this season. Lebron is getting old. Leaning more on Davis and Lavine allows us to get the most out of the aging Lebron. I like THT but nothing in the league is set in stone so things can change real fast. Would i say hes going to be better than Ingram? THT solid but i would move him for the sure thing and dont think twice unless i think hes the next Lebron. I like Pope that is why i would also entertain moving Dennis instead and let Lebron play point. A Lavine and Pope back court is long on defense and Lavine can create.

So its not that i dont like those players i really do and would be fine with no moves at all. What i have to ask myself if THT/Davis can compete i dont know but I do know Davis/Lavine can. Its not saying THT/Davis cant but what i learned over the years being a Laker fan is not to get too caught up in potential. I would be more concern about the overall depth like you state. This is where the free agents come in after that move.

Worry about now. Lavine is a great score, but like the guy above said, he is not a defensive force to send our depth away. When the time comes, Lebron and Pelinka will make the right move to get the star to pair with Davis in the future. THT has the potential to become that player and Dennis is growing too. Lakers have a young core of solid players, but they might look more that can shoot the three and defend the 5. Harrell if he develops a consistent 5 to 15 feet shot could be part of the fantastic five next season. Kubmass and KCP could bring a star because of what both make combined. This season maybe only one addition by subtraction or just add via waiver.

you are kind of contradicting since Zack is more of a now than THT. Either way Kuzma and KCP will not net a star and That time is now. Lebron is 36 and will be 37 next season. Not saying they cant win as is but you cannot at this moment call THT a star. Meaning if THT and Kuzma can net you a star you pull the trigger. KCP or Dennis would be retained as well so its not gutting the team. No way one can say Dennis D is lights ahead of Zack or Beal on defense. No way KCP is better than Zack or Beal overall.

Yep I like our depth now. Ideally, get another big for the 15th slot via the buyout market but via trade? doubt that there's any team out there who would want to help the Lakeshow out right now.

FYI fellas:

Vinay Killawala@vkillem 20h
The Lakers have the bird rights to Caruso & Schroder. Horton-Tucker is an RFA.

No one needs to be traded for cap space.

Thats been established the only Player being at risk is THT. If a team offer him a crazy contract Lakers can match but it will put them way over the cap and may decide to let him go. This is one of the reason Perkins think Lakers are trying to hide him so no other team offer a contract they wont be at ease with.

Dennis and Lakers could not establish an extension but they are still looking forward to a contract that benefit both sides.

We have to hope someone comes available.

Caruso, THT

As for holdovers from the James Harden era, the likes of Eric Gordon and P.J. Tucker could also find themselves dealt ahead of the NBA trade deadline in March. Despite his lofty contact and injury history, there’s also a chance that the Rockets move off John Wall.

One thing is abundantly clear right now. Based on the compensation they received from Brooklyn in the Harden trade, these Rockets are headed into a full-scale rebuild.

Now I'm seeing a lot of Lakers-Bulls swap scenarios....

Just my two cents. If the Lakers are shipping someone out alongside the obvious (Kuz) I think they trade Schroder before they do KCP. It's evident that LBJ wanted Schroder on this team but he definitely loves KCP (Klutch connection helps as well).

Plus I think the Bulls ask for Kuz AND THT. Schro goes to a third team. Would you guys do it? I know I would and I'd never look back.

-CHI gets a solid young core + DRose retire as a Bull
-DET gets a legit starting PG, a decent young core and a backup C
-LAL acquires that third star and a third shooter to play behind KCP/WES

Bulls
Carter Jr./Felicio
Kuzma/Young
Porter Jr./Williams
THT/Hutchinson
Rose/White

Pistons
Plumlee/Kornet
Griffin/Markkenen
Grant/Bey
Ellington/Jackson
Schroder/Hayes

Lakers
Gasol/Keef
AD/Trez (Dudz)
LBJ/McKinnie
KCP/Matthews (SVI)
LaVine/Caruso

Trade Kubmass for this guy like right now!
He is the perfect back up for Lebron and just imagine him with this guys at one point
Harrell
Davis
Lebron
Tucker
Dennis or whoever.
Pelinka should work this one for sure.
PJ Tucker not opposed to being traded


Sources say Tucker is prepared to play for Houston for the season even without his future tied down, but he is not opposed to a trade should one materialize. It’s understood that an extension offer is on the table at this point, but Tucker has not accepted it. Teams have already made a number of phone calls to Houston about potentially acquiring Tucker. – via Kelly Iko, Sam Amick, Kelly Iko and Sam Amick @ The Athletic
Top Rumors, Trade, PJ Tucker, Houston Rockets

This rumor is part of a storyline: 62 more rumors
Sources also say the Rockets plan to be very aggressive with the sizable trade exception generated from the Harden trade and want to use it to get an additional quality player. Multiple teams have called about Tucker’s availability in wake of Harden’s departure. As far as an extension in Houston is concerned, sources say Tucker has tabled those discussions for now. – via Kelly Iko, Sam Amick, Kelly Iko and Sam Amick @ The Athletic
