Why would the Cavs trade Jarrett Allen for LeBron when they can sign him outright?
13 Feb 2026 23:16:53
LBJ is not going to take a discount.
14 Feb 2026 02:35:47
How do you know that? If he wants to win, he won't gut the roster just to get paid.
14 Feb 2026 19:47:30
I agree with Gasupo, he wont take a paycut “to win”
He would have done it in LA.
15 Feb 2026 02:02:17
The Cavs can't do a S&T, they're over the second apron.
Even if it was possible, I wouldn't do it.
He can come as a free agent and keep the depth intact.
15 Feb 2026 13:30:23
Only in LaLa Land.
04 Feb 2026 09:53:52
Denver is missing someone like Reaves - so basically LA could create 6x1st value for Giannis!
LAL Giannes, Prince, Harris, Anthony, Brothers
MIL Braun, Holmes, 1st 2031 + LaRavia, Knecht, 1st 2031 + release (Tyson, Pickett, Hachim., Vinc., Kleb. )
DEN Reaves
Unfortunately, also Denver becomes better - but Lakers would close up to as well.
Smart, Luca, Bron, Giannis, Ayton
Anthony, Harris, Prince, Vander, Hayes.

There’s a report telling that Giannis might consider pairing up with Ant in Minnesota. But Minnesota doesnt really have the assets to acquire him so they would need to be creative:
Minnesota-Milwaukee-LA Lakers-Detroit
Minnesota get Giannis, Turner, Vincent, Trent Jr, D Robinson
- they get the superstar pairing with Ant and get rotational players who can shoot
Divincenzo/ Conley/ Vincent
Edwards/ Trent Jr
Robinson/ Shannon
Giannis/ Reid/ Ingles
Turner/ Beringer
Milwaukee get Ayton, T Harris, Knecht, Dillingham, Kleber (exp), Vanderbilt, 2 1sts from Lakers, 3 1sts from Detroit, 2026 & 2032 1sts from Minnesota, 2028 swap with Minnesota
- rebuild
Lakers get Gobert & Levert
- gets a defensive anchor and a bench scoring option
Doncic/ Smart/ James Jr
Reaves/ Laravia

25 Jan 2026 13:11:52
I like this type of move for the Lakers.
I don't know if the Warriors would do it, not sure about Kuminga's value but LBJ is pretty old. Rui and Nesmith are role players at best.
For the Pacers I guess it's good value for Siakam.

Lakers blow it up and rebuild. Hawks try to win a championship this year. This would have to be 2 separate trades per the NBA rules.
Lakers send- LeBron James and Deandre Ayton
Hawks send- Porzingas (exp) Z Risacher Dyson Daniels and a future 1st. Not the Pelicans pick for 2026. Works on trade machine.
2nd trade-
Lakers send- Bronny, Smart
Hawks send any expiring contract Luke Kennard. If the Lakers want to move on from Vanderbilt along with Bronny and Smart we could give them expiring deal of CJ McCollum instead of Luke Kennard. Throw in a 2nd round pick on either deal and adding any bench player for roster compliance.
Lakers would have all expiring contracts. They are not winning a title this year and LeBron ain't waving his trade clause unless he thinks he can win a title. Maybe the Cavaliers could make a deal for the Lakers for him but I can't think of any other team that could make a deal work. The Cavs are way over the cap.
28 Jan 2026 21:30:09
So to be clear, you want to have a mini blow up of the hawks for a 41 year old making 52 million on an expiring contract (could retire or move on at any point), who is clearly on the downside of his career. Still very good but the glory days are gone. And for good measure you’ll through in the most baffling enigma of a center that two teams have all ready let go. Sorry, not the trade I want the Hawks to make.

24 Jan 2026 11:36:53
I mean just looking at the value makes sense. The idea makes sense all 3 teams need a shakeup. Not sure if the salaries match per NBA rules. Cleveland is over the cap not sure they could do a deal like this but it would be interesting to see.
22 Jan 2026 17:25:58

Lakers need another 3&D wing, preferably one able to guard 2s/ 3s.
They can offer expiring contracts and little draft capital for an unwanted contract.
Trade 1:
T. Mann, Highsmith (inj) for M. Kleber, G. Vincent, 2032 2nd
Trade 2:
KCP, V. Williams for D. Knecht, G. Vincent, M. Kleber.
19 Jan 2026 16:49:27
Really like that first one, just not sure if even LA wants Mann over cap space in the offseason.
21 Jan 2026 07:22:11
Grizzlies won't move both wing defenders. KCP can go, but Vince stays.
