Trey Murphy Trade to The Lakers


SUCCESS

Fanspo logo

Lakers get 3 and D Wing to pair with Luka, Magic get Shot Creator, Pelicans get Draft picks 2 expirings and Dalton

Lakers - They pair up a 21 ppg scorer to pair up with Luka that has better defensive capabilities than Austin. They trade a lot of their assets, but they get a guy that can help Luka make them playoff probable for the foreseeable future, rather than Austin who doesn't fit at all with Luka. They also get a decent backup pg with Cole, and a lob threat with Goga and the 25th pick where they can pick another young center.

Magic - They get a shot creator that they've needed in Austin without needing to trade Black or the 16th pick. They will most likely contend for the next several seasons, meaning the picks won't necessarily have that much value, and Cole and Goga aren't really needed now on the team.

Pelicans - They would only do this trade if they go on a rebuild so this isn't the most realistic trade, but the package they get is decent enough. They get some expirings and Knecht who can fill like 50% of Murphy's role for the team. They get 3 first rounders and a swap which is a decent lot. With the whole team being untouchable this off-season the Pels will most likely get a haul for Herb, Zion and such and with this trade, it could be the start of their off-season.

Notes: The Magic may be ovberpaying in a sense, so maybe it would make more sense to remove the 25th pick here, if you believe so.
