Trade for Jarrett Allen, this make sense for both teams, Cavs get a cheaper option at the center position and safe money and get the opportunity to hunt a big trade for Giannis. Lakers add a guy who next to Luka can be and elite center in the league in Jarrett Allen. Lakers trade Ayton & 2031 FRP and get Allen and eat 20M in salary cap for him.
Trade for Herb Jones & Saddiq Bey. Add 2 3&D wings to the team, Herb is the ideal man for the starting lineup a guy who can guard 1-4 and decently shoot and pass the ball. Saddiq is more a swish army knife from the bench. Pelicans receive Dalton, LaRavia, Vando + 25th pick from this draft + 2030 & 2032 FRP SWAPS + 2033 FRP (not in the website). (Another option could be not adding LaRavia & Saddiq)
Resign LeBron to a MLE (he is Carmelo Anthony). Lakers is the best scenario for him, the team worked vert well when the big three was healthy and Luka & Reaves want to try it again with a better rotation.
Sign Keon Ellis & Robert Williams, two defenders to improve the bench rotation, Robert to improve the center rotation to Allen, Robert, Hayes and Keon Ellis to add another 3&D to the team (other options can be buyouts from Klay or KCP or Kennard).
Resign Austin Reaves to a 180M x 5y (aprox 35M x year), Resign Rui to a 80M x 4y (aprox 20M x year, if LeBron decides to leave is a good option for the starting PF position) with the bird rights and Resign Smart giving him the room exception.
LAKERS ROTATION NEXT SEASON:
* PG LUKA | SMART | BRONNY
* SG REAVES | KEON | NSJ OR MAÑON
* SF HERB J | SADDIQ | THIERO
* PF LEBRON | RUI | (Resign Kleber to a vet?)
* CT ALLEN | ROBERT W III | HAYES
