LAURI MARKENAN.... JJ will use this stretch big off ball well... here's the deal: AR/Rui/JHS & 3 firsts (one of them being a swap, 17th for 31st - draft Bronny with this pick) for Markenan/Sexton. Also to sweaten the deal for Ainge remove top 5 protections on the pick Utah already owns from LA. 💯💯💯 Side note: sign and trade D Lo or let him walk, a 2 way player with the 13mil mid lvl is better than this no defense playing 39% career fg in playoffs (WWWOOOWWW thats bad) 🙀🙀🙀

Huh Sign & trading D'Lo triggers a hard cap they then won't be able to sign some 2 way 13 mil player like those actually exist. LM & Sexton for Rui,AR,JHS plus 3 fist rd picks? Are u LM's Agent? Brother? Best friend? That deal would have gotten the Lakers Kyrie in 2023 just swap JHS for Lonnie Walker, they still refused. So your idea is trading away the back court, Rui, 3 1st rd picks plus JHS...for some 2 way player making 13 million, sexton who has underperformed and LM,then draft bronny..so the backcourt is Max, bronny, sexton, some 13 mill 2 way player which doesn't exist, with LM, bron and AD..who shooting 3's? Who keeping the defense honest? LM?

Trade Scenario 2 part 1 Lakers Receive: Paolo Banchero 12,160,800 and Jalen Suggs. $9,188,385 (Total 21,349,185) Magic Receive: D'Angelo Russell 18,692,307 OR Rui Hachimura 17,000,000, AND Taurean Prince 4,516,000 or JHS 3,879,840 or Christian Wood 3,036,040 and 2 or 3 1st rnd picks ALL the Lakers players listed here should be included if Magic want them in exchange for taking on a player the Magic wants to unload, if salaries work. Lakers would be sending more salary out. If the salaries need to match more, Lakers can take on a lower tiered player that Magic want to move on from. Scenario 2 part 2 Lakers Receive: Alex Caruso 9,890,000 and Andre Drummond 3,360,000 Bulls Receive: Gabe Vincent 11,000,000 AND Jaxson Hayes 2,463,946 or JHS 3,879,840 or Christian Wood 3,036,040 and 1 first rnd pick and/or second and pick if they are available and needed. Everything hinges on what is done on part 1 Perhaps, if needed, 3 picks to Magic and include M Wagner from Magic. Use Wood (or others) to make up Salary Scenario 3, part 1 Lakers Receive: Paolo Banchero 12,160,800 AND Jalen Suggs. $9,188,385 AND Moritz Wagner $8,000,000 (Total 29,349,185) Magic Receive: D'Angelo Russell 18,692,307 AND Rui Hachimura Lakers take some unwanted salary players from Magic to match Scenario 3, part 2 Lakers Receive: Alex Caruso 9,890,000 (if Magic deal includes Wagner, then no Drummon)d Bulls Receive: Gabe Vincent 11,000,000 AND Jaxson Hayes 2,463,946 or JHS 3,879,840 or Christian Wood 3,036,040 (if needed to make more enticing) and second and picks if they are available and needed. Lakers would take on unwanted Bulls players to make salary match Everything hinges on what is done on part 1 This would make a Lakers team of Bron AD AR Paulo Suggs (Vando in place of Suggs or even in place of Paulo for certain matchups) Max Caruso Drummond or Wagner Vando TP or Wood or Castleton (Castleton should be graduated to a real spot on the roster, not just a 2way. This will give Lakers 2 different types of backup centers - one more strong defensive, the other having stronger offensive skill, as opposed to to the current pair of Hayes/Wood who are both more offensively skilled and not filling the defensive needs. Magic would have 2 first round pics and second round picks (3 picks if necessary) Franz Wagner DLo and/or Rui Cole Anthony Wendell Cater Jr TP, JHS or Wood Markelle Fultz Gary Harris Jonathan Issacs Goga Bitadze Anthony Black Exchange any of Hayes, Wood TP. JHS that Magic may want in place of Magic unloading a player they want to get rid of, at the end of the roster (no Lakers players that would be used in the Caruso trade)

If DLo walks, trade Rui, #17 and Hayes(filler) for Vucevic/Brook . Split the MLE between Bitadze and Taurean. Start Austin Max, Bron, AD and Vuc. Vincent, JHS vando, Bitadze, Taurean, Wood, Reddish(i guess). The Lakers was not a Dejounte Murray away from the title, the most important move is not Vuc or Max as starters , It's AD who can rejuvinate his body, loose the pounds he said he gained since 2021. just look at starting5, everyone can defend and shoot, perfect.

Nets will assuredly want Austin reaves and the lakers SHOULD give him up for Bridges. The latter is a better 2 way player and as playoffs have shown, you need these kind of players. With reaves as trade asset, lakers probably don’t need to include all picks in trade. That leaves Rui and picks available as assets for other trade(s).
