Lakers Trade Rumors

24 Nov 2025 14:19:29
To Utah:
fr/Celtics D. White and A. Simons, a pick swap and a second
fr/Lakers Knecht and removal of lottery restriction on previously traded frp and a SRP

To Boston:
fr/Lakers: Lebron, Bronny and Thiero

To Lakers:
fr/ Utah: Markkanen and Filipowski
fr/ Boston: Pritchard and a protected FRP or 2 SRPs

The likelihood of Lebron being traded is zero. He has a no trade clause in his contract and even if he were to exercise it he would probably exercise it to go to the Cavaliers or Mavericks. Which neither can happen anyway cause both are over the second apron and would need to dump salaries to make a trade work. Lebron will finish the season as a Laker and most likely his career as well as a Laker. Lebron in a Celtics uniform? Yeah that's not happening.

Just so you know Danny Ainge/ Utah Jazz are looking for a deal of 4 first round picks for Markkanen which isn't happening with the Lakers. Lakers have 1 pick and a swap. Not enough to get Markkanen.

Lakers - Pelicans

Lakers get Zion Williamson

Pelicans get Adou Thiero, Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent, Rui Hachimura & 2 1st round picks

Just here throwing some punches in NOLA's gut

Lakers only have 1 eligible first round pick which can be traded. Honestly I would probably take a pass on Williamson. Even though he is an allstar player he has an issue of constantly being injured and missing a bunch of time. In addition he takes up $42M + $44M in cap space the next two season which would limit the Lakers flexibility on moves.

Terry Rozier is on unpaid leave and is not eligible to be traded. Lakers wouldn't include draft compensation for Wiggins. In fact if I were the Lakers I would demand draft compensation coming back to the Lakers if Knecht were included in a deal like this.

MEM/MIA/LAL

MEM get Andrew Wiggins & 2nd round pick from LAL
- gets a quality starter and a good 3rd-4th option for their team

Pg Morant/Pippen
Sg Wells/Jerome/Konchar
Sf Wiggins/Williams
Pf Jackson Jr/Aldama
Ce Edey/Clarke/Landale

MIA get Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber, 1st round pick from MEM (from ORL)
- gets a 1st out of Wiggins who could be the odd man out with Powell in. They get Gabe back to back up the point and a stretch big to add depth on big man

Pg Mitchell/Vincent/Rozier (waive or trade)
Sg Herro/Larrson
Sf Powell/Highsmith/Jacquez
Pf Adebayo/Jovic/Fontecchio
Ce Ware/Kleber

LAL get Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
- reunion with one of their former champ, adds another spice on their backcourt defense

Pg Doncic/Smart/Bronny
Sg Reaves/KCP
Sf James/Laravia/Knecht
Pf Hachimura/Vanderbilt/Thiero
Ce Ayton/Hayes

Personally i would start KCP and let Reaves be their quality sixth man. But Reddick wont do it

13 Aug 2025 21:06:23
Lakers have Marcus Smart so no need for KCP. Keep in mind KCP had a very down year last season and is on the books the following season as well at $22M a season. Hurts cap space.
