Traded For Because...

Kelel Ware is an athletic 7-foot lob threat, floor spacer, and shot blocker with all-star potential whom the Lakers only wishes dropped two extra spots in the 2024 draft to have been picked instead of D. Knecht.

Jaime Jacquez is a versatile pf/sf that can create his own shot, defend, slash, post-up, and guard several positions. He made the all-rookie first team in his first season and the Lakers can benefit from him having a down year in his second season with this trade.

Haywood Highsmith started out his nba career as a temporary 2-way player then worked his way into becoming a valued three and D specialist that'll fit perfectly next to Lebron and Luka.

Miami is ready to move on from the Kevin Love. Kevin Love is happy to reunite with Lebron.
