Pelinka could have had the 58th pick at 55. He’s playing meaningful minutes at center for the Knicks.

If they’re healthy that would go a long way. They’re both better and more useful than Reddish and Hayes. Lakers would only be like 1 (or two depending on playoff matchups) piece away at that point. A 3 and D guard/wing + Physical Center.

[@p.bi1179]

Simple Fix: 1st option- JHS & as many picks as it takes for Walker Kessler. 2nd option- Vincent, Christie, and as many picks as it takes for Nikola Vucevic. 3rd option- Christie, JHS, and no more than 1 FRP for Valanciunas. These are the deals to make. If Lakers management actually wants to capitalize on the LeBron/AD duo, give up the draft picks!!! Walker Kessler or Nikola Vucevic would be fantastic additions. Valanciunas should be the last resort. But if they strike out on all 3, it is a disaster. They need AT LEAST Valanciunas.

[@jasonsutton4404]

Blazers have like 4 centers on their roster. Clingan, Reath, Ayton, and Williams. Reath could be a cheaper back up plan in case they want to make other moves.

[@tblackmusic7460]

I get the thinking of trading for Williams, at this moment, the asking shouldn’t be too steep. If actually starts to cook, we’ll definitely see a Laker tax. But I also get that it’s a gamble too.

I’m not sure why we didn’t really try and explore options in the off-season in getting a big man we haven’t had a decent big man rotation since 2020 smh. We are a twisted ankle or bumped Knee from AD from being back in the play-in borderline missing playoffs.

[@ck7cu]

Alyssa Thomas is available from the Fever if they wanna know the asking price 🤩

[@arturiax1]

Wait for Valančiūnas if Vashington would be ok to take Gabe + JHS + 2nd or even Max in the mix. Yes, maybe JV is not usable for some PO matchups, but still there are plenty centers he can go up against even in the playoffs (Jokic, Gobert, Nurkic...). But his biggest value is in the regular season where he is a consistent 13-9 in 20-25 mins throughout his career. And most important - he is very durable! Thats why I take him over R. Williams any day.

[@giovannilivibacci7001]

what about Poetl

[@weezyslob]

No, the time was the offseason, where we were operating from a position of need, but not desperation. Now we ARE operating from a position of desperation and that drives prices up. If Rob wasn’t terrible at his job he would have addressed this then, they’d have just signed Jonas instead of now having to send out assets for him.

[@precious3584]

Can't we revisit the KCP trade? He's avrgng his lowest pts since his rookie season and its not because of him but more like the fit. Can't both teams revisit Dlo trade rumors? Magic wanted DLo a better fit next to a defensive stalwart in Suggs and ofcourse can playmake and stretch the floor for them. DLo and a pick (better if 2nd rounds) sounds a nice deal for both.

JHS and unprotected first for Walker Kessler or salary dump a vet min guy with a few seconds to sign Dwight or Javale. Rob will not get either deal done though. Rob dropped the ball not signing TP back and signing Jonas in free agency. All those player options came back to bite us. To be fair though, Cam would have likely not been brought back so we wouldn’t have his defense right now. If this is the Cam we’re gonna get the rest of the season then I’m glad we kept him for a vet min. Jonas and TP off the bench would be huge for this team.

[@dorikin54]

I would prefer the Lakers get Jonas over Williams. Williams just can’t stay healthy and Portland will want too much for him. Gabe plus two 2nds sounds very fair for Jonas. Plus, I’d rather keep the two future firsts for a bigger possible trade down the road. We already know that the Wizards signed Jonas just to be able to trade him. Vando’s upside and decent contract is absolutely worth keeping. Vando’s versatility, energy on defense and on the boards is a complete game changer.
