Lakers Ideal Offseason! Trades Made And Free Agent Signings With Trevor Lane

1. You won't get anybody with no money we need dr.buss was a winner got the job done

2. Don't think Bruce Brown is a good fit, and we're still undersized at the center position.

3. Losing our 8th & 9th rotation players, 2 bench warmers, & protected draft capital to overfill our 2 biggest needs: starting-caliber bigs & two-way POA defenders is chef’s kiss. Trevor chef’d up another ideal offseason 🔥

4. What about this?

   Highly unlikely option:
   * Trade Austin and Dalton Knecht to the Heat for Kal’el Ware and Jaquez Jr. You might need to add maybe a third player on both teams to make it work.

   More likely option:
   * Trade Austin to Tornoto for Ochai Agbaji and their 2025 pick. Then use 2025 draft pick + Dalton Knecht for Walker Kessler or Kal’el Ware Or trade that pick (that is the 9th) + Dalton to the Pelicans for their pick (which is the 7th) and go for Maluach. Or pray Pelicans do not go for Maluach and Brooklyn either and you get him with the 9th pick. Then you can still go for Bruce Brown and DeAnthony Melton, and build from their and you'll still have your 2031 pick.

   Other option:
   * Trade Austin for Anthony Black + their 2025 or 2026 pick. And use that pick + Dalton Knecht to do a similar trade for a center like the mentioned above.

5. trevor is delusional and for some reason have brain dead. trading portis for 1st pick crazy

6. Im not wasting a roster spot on hayes wen refused to play him in playoffs

7. Don’t let Steven Adam’s go to the spurs🤦‍♂️

8. Lakers are going to be a play in team at best last year regular season was a fluke

9. Please don't do Rui + picks for Claxton. Only move Rui if it's the right deal bc you are getting rid of the starter at a thin PF rotation for a starting center who is the same tier player that Rui is

10. Can we just be bad a year so bron retires and we got cap space then

11. this is not a champtionship team

12. I like De’Anthony Melton, if you get him I wouldn’t waste the MLE on Bruce Brown. Try to convince a lengthy guard to come, like a NAW (probably couldn’t get him exactly) but a player like that.

13. Lakers ideal offseason…actually make moves

14. Austin Reaves, Rui for Jude Holiday

15. Brown is 6’4 , to small ,

16. Trever likes midgets , brown and Melton neither over 6’4 , melton only 6’3 , we need 6’6 -6’9 players

17. No matter what way you look at it Rob Pelinka should be fired. 😂.

18. Why are people so fixated on Bruce Brown?

19. Bruce Brown is azz. Can't score and just a barely above average defender. He is a 2 not a 3. He's like 6'4.

20. We need wings with some length and athleticism. All these 6'6 beneath the rim wings that can't score or lock any one up.

21. I just want Max Christie back to be honest LOL

22. Luka, DFS, Rui, LeBron Gafford

23. In this ideal off season the team is no better than what it was this year. No more atheltic and super limited as far as scoring on the perimeter when either Luka or Austin is off the floor.

24. Rob Pelinka will trade for Joel Embiid this summer. But you didnt hear it from me…….

25. This roster build kinda mid . I rather thread younger for the tax payer mid level

26. LA – J allen
    Cle- stewart 31 first from LA
    Det – Rui + 3 sec picks from Cle

    What about that ?

27. how many more?
    how many more ideal off-season moves until next season 🤮

28. Let’s sign De’anthony melton for that tax payler MLE he shoulda been a lakers last year slept on, yea he got hurt but I think he makes a difference to this squad like a kcp for cheap.
