The lakers have missed out on big name after big name in the off-season including Klay, Jonas, DeMar, Pg, CP3 and more!!!
LeBron needs some help as he restructured his contract to be behind the second apron. Let's wake Rob Pelinka up and get this deal done βοΈ π
Why would the lakers π do this deal !??
Robert Williams is a defensive anchor βοΈ which is exactly what the Lakers need! He gives them freedom to run a big next to AD or to be explosive off the bench.
As we've seen in the Mavs run with Lively and Gafford, defensive bigs can change the whole game π
Corey Kispert would be a perfect fit next too LeBron, he's a 6'7 shooter, shooting 39% from catch & shoot this past season.
Tyus Jones is the the whole package deal he can pass efficiently on a very low turnover rate, averages a steal a game while shooting 41% from the 3 π³
Tyus is the point guard that the Lakers NEED! He can play off ball and can also run an offense by himself averaging 7 assists a game on the Wizards.
Jerami Grant would be the βοΈ Factor that the Lakers are searching for, he's a 6'7 two-way wing who can guard the best player on your team while shooting 45% from the field and 40% from the 3 point line on 21 a game.
To win against the best of the best and make it all the way, it's important to have two great wings on your team like the Celtics with Brown and Tatum and Nuggets with Gordon and MPJ.
Why would the Portland Trailblazers π do this !??
The Lakers 2029 and 2031 picks will be extremely valuable π€ as LeBron will be long gone and AD would be 36 near the end of his career if he were to stay and the Lakers would most likely be poverty with all their upcoming picks traded away π΄
They don't need Robert Williams whose coming off of injury π€, as they have DeAndre Ayton, and they drafted Center Donovan Clingan as the 7th overall pick in the NBA 2024 draft π
Portland would take on the more valuable players coming off the lakers and would have the option from various teams to trade them too.
Jarred is a 6'8 defensive wing whose only 25 and is on a cheap deal that the Portland could take advantage of for their future core or easily find a suitor for
Rui has shown great strides from the Lakers as he's proven he can the shoot the ball at a β«οΈhigh level, shooting 42% from the 3! And he's displayed that he can be a defensive presence like the playoff stint vs Nuggets against Jokic π
He's only 26 and he's on a cheaper contract for the NBA, he could either be used to help elevate Portland or Portland could find a trade suitor without any troubles.
Why would Wizards π§ββοΈ do this !??
Dlo is coming off a great year shooting wise and is on a 1 year deal, so he could either be traded away by the off-season or deadline in hopes of a young peice or pick in return or be an asset to helping the young squad develop
The last few seasons Lakers have either been a play in team or barely making playoffs so the 2027 2nd round pick should be pretty close to the top.
The clippers just lost Pg π₯Ά and the west just keeps getting better I wouldn't be surprised if Clippers don't make the playoffs either, making there 2025 2nd round pick that much better!
Jalen is the Lakers previous rookie and he's had time to learn in the G league and under LeBron, this would be a great opportunity for him to showcase what he's got with more minutes and playing time.
Tyus is a free agent, he would be walking for free so I see this deal as a huge plus for the Wizards to benefit off his absence
