Miami Heat: Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht

Los Angeles Lakers: Andrew Wiggins

04 Jul 2025 00:16:58
Nah. I will keep Knecht. We need young players around Luka for the future.

03 Jul 2025 20:11:45
Another James option, when he stays in LA and Kawhi runs with the Spurs again for a ring:

LAL Castle, Moody, S&T Kumainga
SAN Kawhi, Christie, 1st 2030 LAC
LAC LeBron, Bronny, S&T Paul (by 6,4 TE)
GSW Hachimura, Knecht, Kleber, 1st 2031 LAL

03 Jul 2025 19:45:29
Miami dickish asks for too much as most often - and instead to go all in for a year, maybe LeBron wants to go to Spurs? If not he needs to stay another 3 years to build a contender - and y never now if it goes faster.

Ayton was great at Suns with Paul - afterwards he missed a creator for him. Luca and even LeBron will accelerate Ayton to become the monster he is.

But like Doncic, Ayton needs to spend and invest much more in focus and defense. Both have the tools and body - both can become good defenders - do so you have probaly the best playmaker and big in LA.

So "maybe" LA risks to lose James, if he want and to go young:

LAL Castle,
SAN LeBron, Bronny

LAL Barrett
TOR 2x1st, Knecht, Kleber, Vincent, Milton

LAL S&T Kuminga, Moody, 1st 2027
GSW Hachimura, Reaves, Kleber

Sign Melton and resign Hayes

Ayton, Hayes
Vanderbilt, Kumavinga
Moody, Barrett
Luca, Goodwin
Castle, Melton

OKC gets beaten by the next OKC : )

Lakers say no they are preserving cap space for 2027.

03 Jul 2025 03:14:07
As a Lakers fan, i want Lebron gone. Not because I dislike him but to refresh the franchise now. He can compete elsewhere, I need Luka to run the show and maximize Ayton's potential

Let me try a deal for Lebron that would make everyone happy

LAL/MIA

LAL get Andrew Wiggins & Terry Rozier

MIA get Lebron James

If not the Cavs, Lebron can retire where he won his first title, Lakers get a 2 way player in Wiggins that can help their wing defense, take on Rozier to provide some back up minutes

Miami get Lebron for a year, try to compete in the open eastern conference.If it doesnt work, still it's just a year.

I dont know, maybe the Lakers add 2 2nds to sweeten the deal

Pg Doncic/Vincent/Rozier
Sg Reaves/Goodwin/James Jr
Sf Wiggins/Knecht
Pf Hachimura/Vanderbilt/Thiero
Ce Ayton/Hayes/Kleber
- i will trade Reaves and Hachimura too if there's value coming in.
- i want to use Knecht and James Jr more to improve their skills

03 Jul 2025 09:16:59
Miami can use the the expiring contract next year :-)

03 Jul 2025 15:12:22
“Maximize Ayton’s potential”

Good luck with that.

03 Jul 2025 16:27:55
Hope leFLOP stays right where he is. It took Cleveland YEARS to climb out of his betrayals and mess with his posse. There are some Laker fans that are like so many other fans and simply because they are the Lakers that they will get a premium return for a one year (maybe) 40 YOA player and that teams will bend over for LA. As long as it isn't Cleveland---he's your headache and big paycheck!

03 Jul 2025 23:07:12
BMiller, I know Ayton has not impressed his whole career but maybe Luka can help him a bit.

03 Jul 2025 02:33:01
Funny thing

Bucks- scoot, sharpe, grant, thybulle & 5 1sts + swaps

Blazers- giannis

Blazers sign lillard

Lillard
Holiday
Avdija
Giannis
Clingan

03 Jul 2025 09:28:00
Excellent offer and reasonable for the Blazers.

02 Jul 2025 13:35:37
Maybe : )

LA signs Ayton MLE 14m 1y and test it out - Ayton has all the potential.

LA pick up Lillard for 2y at Min and sign Paul at min

Bucks have no guards and no team, so maybe:

MIL Reaves, Knecht, Hachimura, Vanderbilt, 1st 2031, 2x1st swap
LAL Giannis

LeBron has his short term changes and LA has the most only 2y on the CAP.

Ayton, Hayes
Giannis, Kleber
LeBron, LaRavia
Luca, Vincent
Lillard, Paul

:)

S&t

Derozan to warriors for kuminga who signs 75 over 3 years

02 Jul 2025 14:44:25
i don't dislike this.
I thought the Bucks should trade Giannis to GS for Kuminga/ Moody and picks, but that's not going to happen this year.
