Lineups

Golden State:

Curry / Moody / Butler / Anderson / Poetl bench: Schroder / Podz / Santos / Jackson-Davis reserves: Holiday / Burks / Larrson / Kuminga (Injured)

Miami Heat:

Rozier / Herro / Wiggins / Bam / Ware bench: Payton / Robinson / Jacquez / Highsmith / Jovic reserves: Smith / Tate / Green / Love

Toronto Raptors:

Quickley / Barrett / Barnes / D.Green / Olynyk bench: Shead / Walter / Agbaji / Green / Looney reserves: Mitchell / Temple / Battle / Mogbo / Robinson

(keep green in starting lineup to try and build value to flip him)

Houston Rockets:

FVV / J.Green / Thompson / Brooks / Sengun bench: Hield / Whitmore / Eason / Boucher reserves: Graham / Sheppard / Smith jr. (injured) / Adams / Londale…

Why Heat do it:

Michael Porter Jr is a legit young piece with all-star potential that fits perfectly with the current core of Bam+Herro. All the Heat need to do is suck for 2 years and get nice draft picks, then contracts like Rozier, Robinson, etc.. will expire during a STACKED free agency. Miami being a top free agent destination is likely to get something nice, scoring on signing D'Aaron Fox would probably be the best outcome for them. Add a 2031 unprotected pick that should be very valuable in the future along with a pick swap, and this should be enough to convince Pat Riley to let go.

Why Nuggets do it:

Jimmy is a perfect fit next to Jokic and Murray, it's a no brainer to trade for someone like Jimmy when you are going for a championship and your star core fits perfectly with him. He's also much needed for defensive reasons, he would be the one to guard all the different stars in the west like ANT, Luka, Shai, etc…

NOTE:

ON TOP OF THE UNPROTECTED FIRST AND THE PICK SWAP, LAKERS WILL ALSO REMOVE THEIR PROTECTIONS ON THE 2027 FIRST ROUND PICK THAT JAZZ ALREADY OWN. JAZZ WILL HAVE 2 LAKERS UNPROTECTED PICKS AND AN UNPROTECTED SWAP FOR THREE YEARS STRAIGHT (2027-2029) + YOUNG PLAYER ASSETS IN EXCHANGE FOR SEXTON AND KESSLER…

It is obvious the Lakers don't have enough to compete and not enough assets to trade up to a true contender so I came up with a trade that benefits both superstars and The Lakers.

In my opinion the Lakers should be content with the one ring they got and sell high for a quick rebuild (2-3 yrs max), rather than potentially being bad for a decade.

Why I think Cavs should trade Garland for LeBron:

LeBron is still the goat and Cavs can win it this year. Better playmaking than Garland Overall better scorer than Garland (not talking about 3s) Better defender (in playoffs only) Multiple intangibles such as; insane basketball IQ (LeCoach) A lot better for matchups Most playoff experience in NBA He is an amazing fit next to Mitchell, Struss, Mobley

Lineups:

Cavs:

Balanced: Mitchell / Struss / Bron / Mobley / Allen

Defense: Mitchell / Okoro / Bron / Mobley / Allen

Offense: Mitchell / Struss / Bron / Niang/ Mobley

Rockets:

Balanced: FVV / Green / Brooks / Sengun / AD

There is no bette…

Landale contract non guaranteed past this season, can wave him for cap.
