SUCCESS

LAKERS = [Ayton, Laravia and Thiero signing; trade for Black and Smart to partner with Luka in the backcourt; get an elite defender in Isaac to partner with Ayton in a potential two big lineup; sign Coffey and Melton for bench depth; Yes, Isaac has injury concerns, but I'll gladly take his defensive upside, plus his contract is only guaranteed for $8M if he misses 30+ games] MAGIC = [free up cap space to extend Banchero by trading away Isaac's long-term contract; they get 2 reliable scorers in Rui and DK (3-point shooting) plus an unprotected 2032 frp (2026 frp could be included from LA's side) ] WIZARDS = [get a srp and equivalent expirings for Smart's expiring (can throw in a 2027 pick swap too)] JAZZ = [defer LA's frp for a year, which would be ideal for them and maybe have it unprotected] MAVS = [defer LA's frp for a year, which would be ideal for them] [*The last 2 moves would enable the Lakers to trade the picks in even-numbered years instead of odd-numbered years, thus gaining access to the 2026 pick to throw in the ORL trade for Black and Isaac, or be used in another move on the deadline]
