The LeBron/Giannis Scenario


SUCCESS

Fanspo logo

I don't see LeBron leaving, but if he did...

Giannis dawning the purple and gold seems inevitable if Jokic doesn't do it first (You can call me delusional, but let me remind you.. Luka is a Laker)

The numbers say The Bucks get better. They acquire 8-12 picks worth of players + a 1st and 2nd rounder from the Lakers. Sending out one of this era's GOATS and a regrettable contract in Kuz.

The Cavs get out from under the 2nd apron and acquire their cherished chosen one, his son, his son's talented buddy who has potential & a 1st rounder from the Lakers. They send out 3 solid players but keep their main guys in Mitch & Mobley. Don't like it? I bet you Adam Silver does...

The Heat give up an aging and expensive Wiggins for a younger, bigger & slightly cheaper forward in Kuzma & their old buddy Gabe Vincent. Both of these players fill roster holes.

The Nets help the Lakers gain access to their own picks, avoiding the Stepien rule & sending out a couple of protect 1sts for a Laker's unprotected 1st in 32', 7 years from now when the Lakers future will be uncertain with aging superstars. They also take on Kleber's expiring $11m to make everything work.

The Lakers starting 5 becomes:

  • Luka (6'6)

  • Wiggins (6'7)

  • Hunter (6'8)

  • Giannis (6'11)

  • Ayton (7'0)

w/ Melton, Goodwin, LaRavia, Vando, Hayes coming off the bench

This also leaves The Lakers a tradeable 1st, highly valued expiring contracts in the 26'-27' season, and a future of Luka & Giannis to build around.

Who says no?
