15 dating back to his time at North Carolina. Plenty of new faces have joined the roster and the influx of veteran talent has forced some players to make a change in number. Hayward, Conley, and Gay can all play.The change from Adidas to Nike isn’t the only switch going on with the Sacramento Kings uniforms this season. If this was any team but the Lakers included in this offer they would be receiving assets back to do it. Maybe the Lakers would be willing to swallow that much salary but they aren’t giving up a first to do it. Go ahead and cut the Lakers from this scenario. The Lakers are taking on 62 million salary in 23/24 on players that will all most likely be not worth their salary, and are giving up a first rounder in this trade? LAL moves Westbrook + Nunn for three useful players. LAL receives: Gordon Hayward, Mike Conley, Rudy Gay LAL trades: Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn, 2027 LAL 1st (pick swap w/UTA, Utah has right to defer to 2028, if not conveyed UTA receives a 2nd) Utah does a quick little rebuild around Mitchell, getting a recent lotto-pick two guard who can fit next to him and two mid firsts + clears some salary. UTA receives: James Bouknight, Russell Westbrook, Mason Plumlee, 2022 CHA 1st (13), 2022 NOP 1st (15), 2022 CHA 2nd (45), 2027 LAL 1st (pick swap w/UTA, Utah has right to defer to 2028, if not conveyed UTA receives a 2nd) UTA trades: Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley, Rudy Gay They could flip Plumlee+multiple 2nds to SAC due to them committing to Sabonis and Holmes would be a great stopgap while Jones fills out his frame and he's on a 4/46M deal which is 1/3rd of Gobert's deal.īabyjax13 wrote:CHA trades: James Bouknight, Gordon Hayward, Mason Plumlee, 2022 CHA 1st (13), 2022 NOP 1st (15), 2022 CHA 2nd (45)Ĭharlotte gets a top 15 player + a reasonably good bench combo-guard (if healthy) and moves Hayward's contract. If anything I'd advise Charlotte to make a buy low move on another big say Richaun Holmes from Sacramento. By the time Ball will be entering his prime, Gobert will be out of it. Gobert's a beast, but that monstrosity of a contract is too much on any team's cap sheet and he just doesn't fit the timeline that Charlotte is on with Lamelo. Even if you remove the pick swap I don't see the Lakers doing this.ģ) Charlotte will most likely pass. All 3 have an extra year on their deals and if they get hurt it'll be a massive hit. This current Jazz core isn't going anywhere barring any unforeseen actions.Ģ) The Lakers may just let Russ's deal expire and may not be too keen on taking on the contracts of 3 dudes who are a combination of old, injury prone and declining. Gobert to Charlotte is not likely, in my opinion.ġ) You love it if your Utah because you're committing to Mitchell and if he asks to be moved elsewhere you can get a healthy package for him as well. It could be 4 years before LaMelo reaches his level. And the Jazz have Donovan Mitchell who is better than anyone on our roster. We run the risk of hoisting a 4 year window with Gobert on a 20 year old and paying 176 million to possibly suffer the same fate as the Jazz - first round knockout. If we just wait for his peers to catch up with him and Miles, we could be special. Most teams would kill for one big who can do that. Both Eason and Kai have potential to guard 1-5. I also love Eason at 13 and imagine a terrorizing open floor team with LaMelo - Bouknight - Miles - Eason - Kai Jones. OP is not betting on that here and neither am I. I know the thought is that what if after one year Bouknight busts or loses value. So his posture is that he values him like a core piece and will not just give away the player, especially with it being one year early for Bouknight. The GM wrote an email lumping Rozier in with Ball and Miles as core pieces moving forward. Brunson is clearly the better defender but plenty of teams in the hunt for Brunson still need someone who can score like Brunson. Both are undersized at 6' 1" and play off ball as secondary ball handlers. I wonder if the GM will take the same approach with Rozier if there is a strong market after Mavs lock up Brunson for 30 million more than Rozier. Kupchak said he would rather make the coaching change one year early rather than one year too late. The GM, after firing Borrego, said he thought Bouknight should've played more and that it was "coach's decision". He is already our best player at drawing fouls. The ball sticks to him and he has lightning quickness to the rim. I think after playing this season Bouknight will be starter level. I have a funny feeling we like Bouknight enough to trade Rozier somewhere.
