LAKERS retool and resign a team around Luka & Reaves (200M x 5y, he said he is willing to forgive some money to stay in LA and build a championship team, this will be and ascendant contract) as the main duo. Signing and trading for atletic wings like Peyton Watson (100M x 4y in FA), Saddiq Bey & Herb Jones (via trade) and getting more depth in the center position with Yves Missi (atleticism, rim-protection, lob-threat). Thats all what this team needs to compete for all, atletic 3&D wings, atletic bigs and depth in the bench to build a contender, also Lakers should keep developing Bronny & Thiero because they can be good role players in a couple of years (probably Thiero sooner than later).

Lakers depth next season:

* PG LUKA | SMART | BRONNY

* SG REAVES | KENNARD | BUFKIN/Mañon

* SF PEYTON W | SADDIQ | THIERO

* PF HERB J | RUI

* CT AYTON | MISSI | HAYES

I think LeBron will play his last season probably with the Cavs (maybe with the Warriors).

PELICANS trade Missi, Herb & Saddiq for Vando, LaRavia & Dalton + 2026 FRP (they draft Aday Mara) + 2030 & 2032 FRP SWAPS + 2031 & 2033 FRPs. Yves Missi is playing off the bench this season and also have Derik Queen in front of them (as the franchise bet), with the 2026 FRp they can sign Aday Mara to be the backup center to Queen. And receive 2 swaps and 2 (3*) frps for Bey & Herb. His starting lineup next season should be Dejounte, Fears, Murphy, Zion, Queen.
