Trading for Porter Jr and Signing Horford would make the Lakers instant favourites for the chip imo. The trade also benefits both teams, so why not do it?
Lakers improve their spacing while adding proven playoff performers and round out a deadly starting 5
Nets take on expiring contracts while gaining more valuable draft capital. Full circle moment for the Nets as they turn Cam Johnson into 2 first round picks, one second rounder and 3 solid role players
Lakers Main Rotation
PG: Luka / Smart
SG: Reaves / Knecht
SF: Porter Jr / LaRavia
PF: LeBron / Horford
