Lakers - Miami

Lakers get Kyle Lowry & Duncan Robinson

Miami get Russell Westbrook (exp) & 2 2nd round picks

This is a homer trade. Miami got a huge expiring contract getting ready to make a big extension offer for Tyler Herro. They looked fine without Lowry and Robinson anyway. Lakers add 2 good pieces in order to compete again, maximizing Lebron's remaining year. I would involve the Lakers' '27 1st however, that would be hard to give up especially when they are taking 2 longer contracts

Lakers

Lowry/Nunn
Robinson/Monk/Reaves
Lebron/THT/Johnson
Davis/Anthony
Howard/Gabriel

* would love to deal THT for frontcourt depth

Right now word is Lavine wants max money. First year of via s&t is $42M. AD will make $37M so it will not work. For the Lakers to get Lavine at max money they will have to either trade Westbrook for nothing in return (not happening) or they waive him under the stretch provision which will give the Lakers $32M in space this season but will cost the Lakers $15M each of the next 2 seasons after that (not happening either. ) This is a bad year for Lavine to want to be a Laker. Next off season yes.

Zach LaVine is eyeing the possibility of joining the Los Angeles Lakers this summer through a sign-and-trade deal, according to ESPN.

LaVine has the same agent as LeBron James and two years ago he said: "I would love to go out there and play with LeBron".

Seperate to the ESPN report, it has long been speculated that LaVine is unhappy at the Chicago Bulls now that DeMar DeRozan has overtaken him as the No. 1 option.

LaVine is an unrestricted free agent this year and recently said: "I plan to enjoy free agency."

Lets pretend the Lakers were to trade Davis. They will be first asking for an allstar level player in return plus role players. Second it will be a for sure thing that Lebron would leave after next season.

I personally would not trade Davis right now. He needs to come back next season and start regaining his status of a top 5 player in the league. Right now it regressed this season. He needs to stay healthy.

The problem is Davis is never healthy. Only a season in witch it was stop for month and restarted.
