All in and do not keep it together:

CLE Hachimura, Knecht, 2x1st swap

Allen
LeBron
Jones
Luca
Murray

Goodwin, LeVert, Prince, Finney, Sharpe

Financially the Lakers would be in the second apron for years to come taking on all 3 of the contracts of Allen, Murray and Jones. With the additional of resigning Doncic. Then you have the Lakers basically trading all assets they have as well. Reeves, Knecht, 2031 pick and pick swaps are all they have. Lakers need to sign a center in free agency like Lopez or Adams to a 1 or 2 year deal. Not take on money such as Allen.

Keep it together and take some risk to train Ayton to become a strong rim protector and build Thybulle at a great 3 pointer.

3 way.contracts close enough not exact:

Lakers out: hachimura, Dorian finney, Vincent, Kleber, 2029 1st round

Lakers in: Ayton, Derozan

Ayton
LeBron
Derozan
Luka
Reaves.all in starting lineup, 2 year window w LeBron

Kings out: Derozan, sabonis

Kings in: Grant, Dorian-finney, Kris Murray, Vincent, lakers 2029 first , blazers 2025 1st

Valencinus
Grant
Murray/finney smith
Lavine/monk
Ellis/carter .. Get younger, get more defensive, more future flex, admit sabonis not getting it done in sac

Blazers out: Ayton, Grant, 2025 1st, Kris Murray, 2025 1st

Blazers in: sabonis, hachimura, Kleber.

Sabonis
Hachimura
Sharpe
Simons
Scoot.get out of ayton and Grant contract,upgrade to sabonis who should work well with young guards.

Which team wouldn't do this ?

16 May 2025 01:35:02
I think all 3 teams would say no. Here is the reason. The Blazers are a young team and Sabonis just wouldn't fit in with the timeline the Blazers have. For the Blazers to move 11th overall they would have to get another pick in this draft plus young prospects. The Kings wouldn't trade 2 allstar level players to get back expiring contracts and 2 firsts. The Lakers would be a 2031 first. The Blazers would be 11th this year. Kings are trying to advance from a play in spot to the playoffs. They would want an allstar level player or an impact player in return for Sabonis and DeRozan. For the Lakers yes they need a center however trading a future 1st for Ayton who has an expiring contract would be a high price to pay for Ayton. He's worth maybe 2 second round picks plus expiring contracts. I like DeRozan however with Doncic, Reeves and Lebron on the team he wouldn't fit. To give you an idea the Kings would want Reeves in this package. Lakers won't do that.

15 May 2025 03:23:59
Lakers trade Dorian finney smith, knecht and rui

Kings trade Derozan and Valenciunus

Does this entice lakers? Solve center issue? Sac takes the younger defenders ?

LAL short term center solution is to sign Alex Len, they can use a big body to cover (atleast) Jokic along with Hayes & Vanderbilt.

Then in the offseason they could target the likes of Turner, Gafford, Drummond even Capela
