Trade details

Lakers receive Nic Claxton and Josh Minnot

Nets receive Jake Laravia Jarred Vanderbilt and an unprotected 2031 frp

This trade is solid value wise for both teams considering the nets upgrade at forward and add a first and the Lakers add a competent rim protector to pair with Luka

Lakers signings

Resign Austin Reaves to a 3 year 99 million dollar flat rate

Sign Coby White to a 4 year 59 million slightly increasing rate

Sign Peyton Watson to a 4 year 117 million dollar steady increasing rate

They’d also aim to resign Rui to a 2 year 25 million flat rate but for some reason Fanspo won’t let me resign him

Ideally we draft either Chris Cenac Jr or Joshua Jefferson at pick 25 to add a long term backup big man this would complete are 14 man roster with room to spare between us and the first apron

A lineup could potentially be

Luka Reaves Watson Rui Claxton

Coby Smart Knicks Minnot Ayton
