Why the Lakers Do this: One of The big holes iN the Lakers Roster is a center Who Can Be a Lob Threat for Luka, A shot blocking rim protecter, The Lakers get a rebliable shooter who can give you 2-3 Threes per night, And they Get their Pick back to maybe Help them Pursue a Good wing player Like Herb Jones, Or Andrew Wiggins, Or Trey Murphy.

Why The Mavs do This: They Get a Real Point guard after trading Luka And a Player that can get Buckets In Kyrie's Absence.

Why the Celtics do this: The guy the Celtics are most likely to Trade the most is Jrue holiday, So they Get a Replacement at the Pg And Get Cheaper.

This May piss off the Celtics Fans, But idc lmao this Move makes perfect Sense for them

Lakers would be around 200 Million in player salaries after this trade, and maybe they could Dump one of their Guys Like Maxi kleber to Get Cheaper and sign people in FA. Or Maybe Even Get cheaper Trading for A wing player. Or They can use the Non tax Payer worth 12.8 million to sign in FA
