I believe we have this trade makes a lot of Sense with Jalen smith coming to the team to be our center backing up DA who is a underrated defender great rebounded and most important factor is that he can shoot the ball. The reason this is so valuable is that it then makes Vando playable again without him completely messing up the offence and being able to do what he does on defence. Also taking a chance on Pat Williams who I seriously believe can become a DFS/PJ Washington esc player with a new change of scenery and all the great playmakers the lakers have. The reason I believe we should trade Rui instead of any of our other wings is I believe he is the most replaceable I believe Jake can fill Ruis shoes to a certain extent while I being on a cheaper contract and Vando’s defence is simply so important on this team. I think the starting lineup should be after this trade. PG - Luka SG - Smart SF - PW PF - Bron C - DA Bench Reaves Jalen Smith Gabe Vincent Vando Jake Laravia This give us great defence in our starting lineup with 2 good primary defenders and bolsters up our bench by having Reaves become a almost guaranteed 6MOY while also not restraining reaves by having him play more off the ball with the Luka and Bron he can go to the Bench and have the ball in his hands more where he is most effective.
