Resign Reaves to a similar contract like Sengun. He has said he is willing to take a paycut to stay with LA, so a contract around 35-40M will be ideal.
Sign Hartenstein or Kessler in FA, probably the OKC will have to opt out of Hartenstein TO, because if they dont they will enter the aprons, with the Jalen & Chet extensions entering the salary cap. For Kessler it will be ideal but is harder, he is RFA and Utah will not let him go anywhere.
Sign Payton Watson, pay him around 25M, Denver cannot matchup that, because they will enter the aprons and the franchise wants to stay away from them.
TRADE WITH THE PELICANS in the draft night with the 3 frp (2026, 2031, 2033 (protected)) for Herb Jones & Saddiq Bey.
Take Kobe Bufkin TO and Sign Chris Mañon to a standart deal. And Resign Hayes to a 5.4M deal to keep him as a backup center (maybe Robert Williams is a better option but let give Hayes what he deserve).
Lakers will be under the first apron with one spot open in the roster and space to sign someone.
