The cost for Lauri Markkanen is a young prospect and 4 first round picks. I am not kidding either. Lakers can just sign Porzingis in the off season being that he is a free agent. They aren't trading the only first they have right now for an expiring contract that can leave after this season.

17 Dec 2025 22:22:49

LAL/MEM

LAL get KCP

MEM get Gabe Vincent (exp), Maxi Kleber (exp) & 3 2nd round picks

Simple, Lakers reunite with KCP who plays D and shoot threes. He can help better. Meanwhile, Memphis gets 3 2nds and expiring contracts (KCP have 21M player option next season).

22 Dec 2025 14:07:20
Lakers already have Marcus Smart so no need for KCP. Lakers have already traded there second round picks in 2026 up through 2031. So they have no second rounders to trade. Lakers at this very moment have 1 FRP and 1 pick swap. That's it as far as draft capital. This off season that will increase to 2 FRP and 2 pick swaps.

11 Dec 2025 22:18:19
I got it, finally figured out the beginning of a Lebron trade. According to Espn NBA Trade Machine it works if Lebron will waive his no trade clause, otherwise legal and what draft picks or add-ons to the deal one can only imagine BUT, legal, nonetheless.

Milwaukee gets:
Anthony Davis from Dal

Dallas gets:
Lebron and Bronny from Lak

Lakers get: Giannis from Mil

Giannis goes to where he wants
Lebron stays with Jr and can play with Flagg and mentor him and Davis gives Mil a much better return than say ....what they got from the Lakers for Kareem back in the day....
I leave you all to add in draft picks, swaps and other contracts to really "fair" this thing up!

11 Dec 2025 05:58:54
LAL/WSH

LAL get CJ McCollum, Malachi Branham

WSH get Gabe Vincent, Jared Vanderbilt, Maxi Kleber, Dalton Knecht & 3 2nds


We need bench scoring badly, CJ can provide that. i know wizards can take Lakers' "trash" right

Pg Doncic/Smart/Bronny
Sg Reaves/McCollum/Smith Jr
Sf Lebron/Laravia/Branham
Pf Hachimura/Thiero
Ce Ayton/Hayes

04 Dec 2025 17:23:17
CLE gets LeBron, Bronny James, KPJ

MIL gets: Darius Garland, DeAndre Hunter Dalton Knect, 2 CLE 1st. 2 LAL firsts

LAL gets Giannis and Thanasis Antetekounmpo.

05 Dec 2025 16:17:51
Giannis to the Lakers could happen during the summer not during the season. Lakers have one 1 FRP and 1 pick swap now and in the summer they would have 2 FRPs and 2 pick swaps. The pick swaps would probably be convey to second rounders cause the Lakers will be better than the Bucks in the future. Also factor in the Lakers priority is to resign Austin Reaves this summer.

03 Dec 2025 21:20:27
Get ready to rumble!

LA Giannis, Portis, Love, Prince, Harris, Paul, Alex, Thanasis
MIL Reaves, Hachimura, LaRavia, Hayes, Vanderbilt, Kleber, Vincent, 1st (2027 Laker via JAZ)
JAZ Knecht, 2nd, 2nd
CLI Smith Jr.

Defeats OKC and finally Detroit.

Ayton - Portis
Giannis - Love
James - Prince
Luca - Harris
Smart - Paul

And the kids : ) Bronny, Alex, Thanasis

01 Dec 2025 19:31:48
Lakers-Wizards

Lakers acquire: CJ McCollum & Justin Champagnie

Wizards acquire: Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber, Dalton Knecht & 1st round pick + 2nd round pick

Lakers are dead last in bench points, they can invest a 1st round pick to get one consistent scorer. McCollum could be a great sixth man for a contending team. Champagnie can score too

PG Doncic, Smart, James Jr
SG Reaves, McCollum
SF James, Laravia, Champagnie
PF Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Thiero
C Ayton, Hayes

24 Nov 2025 14:19:29
To Utah:
fr/Celtics D. White and A. Simons, a pick swap and a second
fr/Lakers Knecht and removal of lottery restriction on previously traded frp and a SRP

To Boston:
fr/Lakers: Lebron, Bronny and Thiero

To Lakers:
fr/ Utah: Markkanen and Filipowski
fr/ Boston: Pritchard and a protected FRP or 2 SRPs

24 Nov 2025 19:21:57
The likelihood of Lebron being traded is zero. He has a no trade clause in his contract and even if he were to exercise it he would probably exercise it to go to the Cavaliers or Mavericks. Which neither can happen anyway cause both are over the second apron and would need to dump salaries to make a trade work. Lebron will finish the season as a Laker and most likely his career as well as a Laker. Lebron in a Celtics uniform? Yeah that's not happening.

Just so you know Danny Ainge/ Utah Jazz are looking for a deal of 4 first round picks for Markkanen which isn't happening with the Lakers. Lakers have 1 pick and a swap. Not enough to get Markkanen.

17 Nov 2025 07:26:49
Memphis-LA Lakers

Memphis: Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht, Adou Thiero, 2 1st round picks

LA Lakers: Jaren Jackson Jr

Lakers getting a defensive big with shooting would be great. This isn't the best Memphis could get for Jackson though, I know.

Doncic, Smart, Bronny
Reaves, Smith Jr
James, Laravia
Jackson Jr, Vanderbilt
Ayton, Hayes

20 Nov 2025 18:41:35
the way i see it Hachimura and Vincent are worth a first, Dalton a first and Thiero a first and then two more firsts. Jx3 is not worth 5 first round picks. He's good, he's not THAT good!

21 Nov 2025 17:58:24
Jackson Jr. is having a down year. With the amount of money he is owed the next 3 seasons I would take a pass. Lakers are going to resign Austin Reaves and with Doncic, Reaves and potentially Lebron if he resigns the Lakers will have no cap flexibility to sign other free agents. Remember Doncic, Reaves and Jackson Jr. by themselves will be close to first apron by themselves together.

23 Nov 2025 21:50:24
I say use Lebron as trade bait to get someone incredible at PF like Markkanen or a P Siakam type. I have a three team trade I proposed that I am hoping will make the cut and be displayed. Let me know what you think if they do?

06 Nov 2025 00:00:12
Lakers - Pelicans

Lakers get Zion Williamson

Pelicans get Adou Thiero, Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent, Rui Hachimura & 2 1st round picks

Just here throwing some punches in NOLA's gut

11 Nov 2025 16:07:25
Lakers only have 1 eligible first round pick which can be traded. Honestly I would probably take a pass on Williamson. Even though he is an allstar player he has an issue of constantly being injured and missing a bunch of time. In addition he takes up $42M + $44M in cap space the next two season which would limit the Lakers flexibility on moves.

04 Nov 2025 22:23:53
LAKERS

- Alvarado, Murphy

PELICANS

- Vincent, Vanderbilt, Kleber + LAL 1st rd pick
