Los Angeles Lakers Trade Targets 

I discovered this channel a few days ago and have been impressed with the content. Very quality content and great basketball knowledge.

Regardless of who we trade for, we gotta keep some depth. The most we can give up is DLO, a 1st rounder, & 1 more player, maybe Rui, but not AR. Only worth moving DLO + AR for an insane haul and I don’t think there’s a realistic trade out there that’s worth DLO + AR.

We need to have a good of a bench team as we possibly can with or without a $200 mil guard. JJ Redick/ Sam Cassell are the coaches of the Lakers, they are more knowledgeable of the game than any of the current candidates that have been considered. They are your coach that will take the team far into the future as well as a minimal contract initially. They will manage the locker room along with input from veterans LeBron and AD; they are players coachs and understands the needs of there coaching staff. We need two real bigs, Valanciunas/Drumond/Dwight ( ie 2020 chip) along side AD, we need a six man, Dramond/Bobby Portes etc. We need a two way guard to manage Jamall Murry and Anthony Edwards.... Demar/Donavan/Caruso/Keli Ubrea/Marcus Smart/JaMonte Murray/Brogden/Donavan Finey-Smith We have the assets, the picks and the money to make this happen. Doc Rivers, Ty Lou, , Chauncey Billups had no direct coaching experience other than one of many assistants before he started coaching.

here are my suggestions. the lakers desperately need a point of attack defender at the guard position as well as a 2 way wing foward who can start along with lebron and davis. trade rui hachimura and gabe vincent and a first round pick to the portland trail blazers for jeremi grant. he's a do it all 2 way foward who provides scoring, shooting and defense and would be a perfect fit in the front court next to davis and lebron. next the lakers need to either trade dlo or austin reaves. i would trade austin reaves. why? because austin reaves is even worse on defense and doesnt provide the playmaking that dlo provides but austin reaves right now has more trade value. trade austin reaves for dorian finney smith and a first round pick. while on paper austin reaves is the bigger name dorian finney smith is exactly what the lakers need he is the prototype 3 and d player who's excels at defense and 3 point shooting. he would be a seamless fit. then i would trade jaxon hayes and 2 2nd round picks to the bulls for andre drummond. this is purely for a matchup vs the nuggets or timberwolves where size and rebounding will be essential and drummond provides both. also i expect chris paul to be a buyout candidate as the warriors are very likely to trade him so if the lakers could pick him up to be the back up pg or the spot starter in case dlo struggles this would also be perfect. the new lakers rotation under my scenario would be pg- deangello russell sg- dorian finney smith sf- jeremi grant pf- lebron james c- anthony davis bench pg- chris paul sg- max chrstie, cam reddish sf- taurean prince pf- christian wood c- andre drummond i feel like this would be a much more complete roster that is more capable on both ends of the floor. the starting 5 is insane and fits like a glove.

Unpopular opinion: DLo > Reaves.

I'd say bring the old staring line up first and give it a go up to 10 games and see where we would be at. But we insert TP and just put reaves back on the bench because that's where he's good at. So, AD, Vando, LBJ, TP, DLo So we still have Wood, Rui, Cam, Reaves, Mays. Don't bother to mention hayes. Guys??? We have too deep depth it's just not being utilize properly. SO WHATEVER I JUST SAID? MY POINT IS HAM NEEDS TO GO...

I agree with the Zach Lavine comment and I don't think Murray solves all are problems Murray hasn't been that great on defense recently. The best bet out of those 3 is NO DOUBT MALCOM BROGDAN BUT HE ALSO HAS INJURY ISSUES..FUCK IT LET'S SELL THE FARM AND GET A SURE BET DONOVAN MITCHELL..AND MAYBE BOGDONAVICH ALL PROBLEMS SOLVED

Trae Young would be a great fit. LBJ needs a knock down shooter for once in his life.

Vando has regressed so much even defensively does he really have a no trade clause in his contract? If not we can’t move him for like Larry nance jr bruh he looks g-league to me this year

The only player y'all need to be trying to trade is LeBron James he's got the Lakers held as hostages he should be the one you trying to get rid of these a liability on defense and offense.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 seriously though.
