Lavine / Bruce Brown / Bronny
Knecht / Olivari
Bron / Reddish / Lewis
AD / Wood
Olynyk / Hayes / Koloko
 
Does BI still fake hate Bron?




Vuc is a no-brainer trade for me, but I get not wanting a 20mil C who may not finish games. MIL figured it out with Giannis and Brook, so my hope would be the same with AD (which i think would be pretty simple).


Still would love a Nick Richards deal for 2+ years running now. A cheap, smarter but less explosive Javale McGee. He'd be a seamless fit as well. **** falling apart like it always does around this time in CLT with injuries. Could probably snag Nick Richards and maybe Josh Green for salary and 2nds.
 
Bored before the game so messing around a little on the trade machine

Athletic PF and a center that would allow JJ to add some creative versatility to his rotations… would solve some of the athleticism issues that the Lakers have been dealing with for a while. Utah is trying to lose as many games as possible, so they really need to acquire all the losing players that they can get 😂

Back to the Lakers … One option with this trade would be to keep playing AD at the 5 while adding Collins to the starting lineup as an athletic 4 with Bron sliding down to the 3. Also could play Kessler at 5 next to AD at the 4, I don’t really mind either way.

Sexton/AR/Bronny
DK/Max/Reddish (Backup SF while Vando is out)
Bron/Vando
Collins/Wood
AD/Kessler/Hayes

Feels like this roster would still be short one perimeter wing defender, but Pelinka isn’t making multiple trades so I have to try keep it somewhat realistic.
 
Feel like we're going to get a big Gabe Vincent game tonight.. seems like he's more of a volume/rhythm guy and he'll have a ton of minutes/shots
