After watching the Lakers play for 31 games it's very clear that we need a shot blocker/rim protector big man. I usually don't like it for the lakers if we trade for Claxton because of his salary but with Luka he can elevate to a new level. We could also use another wing defensive player e.g. Bey and Ellis. We can also take another ball handler as AR is injured hence Jose.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why the nets do this- The nets don't have any untouchable players [ except for Demon maybe] Nic's contract isn't a good one by any means they trade him for Rui and Kleber. they can get off the money after this season and maybe ship Rui at the deadline [ I feel like they should trade him in a Paul gorge trade]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why the Pels do this- I've been on a Gabe Vincent to the Pels trade for so long now and I feel like a first is enough to get it done. They get expiring money and a first. [some people will say more picks but I feel like this gets it done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why the kings do this- Ellis is frustrated with the team for not playing him enough and sometimes not at all. The kings get Dalton to be a wing who they can try to bring him his confidents back and they could Lokey play him more than Lavine just because of his development. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me know what you think?
