Mock Trade: In a 4 Team BlockBuster Trade, the Lakers will receive Chris Paul, Harisson Barnes, Andrew Wiggins, Buddy Hield, Jonas Valanciunas, and Draft Capital to send Anthony Davis, Cam Reddish, and Gabe Vincent to the Golden State Warriors; the Lakers will also send Rui Hachimura alongside Draft Compensation to the Washington Wizards. The Warriors will also send Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson, and Lindy Waters lll to the Spurs.
This moves makes Golden State pair Steph Curry and long-time rival Anthony Davis to the Bay; meaning breaking up their young core. The Lakers will also get depth from Davis’ departure to pair Chris Paul with LeBron James, in line with that, former All-Star Andrew Wiggins and Stretch Big Jonas Valanciunas will be apart of the Lakers Organization. Harrison Barnes and Buddy Hield will also join the Lakers as per the deal made to add depth.
The Spurs will be building around Wemby with the young core of former Golden State Warriors players’ Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski.
Wizards will get Draft Compensayion for the most part here but will bring back Rui Hachimura, who played with the Wizards last time in 2023.
