Trae to LAL; Defense package to Atlanta, Clippers get young talent


SUCCESS

Let's face it: Trae and D'lo can be the backcourt needed for Lebron and AD. The Clippers are old, and Atlanta's defense sucks. The Lakers need a better backup center, so Zubac can return to the Lakers for a short while to fill the role perfectly. Atlanta signs Lonzo to replace Trae's role (I know that sounds ridiculous, but he should get his chance, like his days In New Orleans). Lonzo isn't making a difference for the Bulls. Bulls just received a young Josh Giddey that'll make up for the loss of Lonzo. Bruce Brown is also a good pickup on the market, as he is in Toronto. You don't hear often that Toronto opens people's eyes in the Playoffs in recent years, not since the departure of then-primetime players Kawhi Leonard and Paskal Saikam. Clippers keep their stars and add young talent around them (Ignore Uncle Christian in the trade; he is only for cap space and if healthy, an additional center due to the loss of Zubac). Also, with the addition of Trae in LA, young underdog star Austin Reeves is an acceptable loss. Besides, what better 2 guard to make up for Harden's mistakes off the bench than Cross-up 1-on-1 masterclass Sharpshooting AR-15? Vando and Capella in the front court for Atlanta would solidify Atlanta's defensive capabilities, if things get personal in the playoffs. Also, it would be interesting to see if Norman Powell can take on a big shooting role for the loss of Trae. Maybe we could see a prime Buddy Hield comparison if this happens. All in all, Lebron may have a fighting chance for one last Championship with a lineup of D'lo, Trae, Lebron, Rui, and AD, and a bench of Bronny, Kinect 4, Zubac, Yuta, and Jovic, and Hawks and Clippers get rebuild packages to negate their biggest flaws. Lakers sign minimums to Yuta Watanabe and Nikola Jovic for extra future young depth, due to the loss of AR-15. Laker cannot hold onto Max Christie, but that isn't a big loss (or a loss at all in a certain view of it).
