The pressure is officially on in Atlanta. |

he is getting traded. I hope ATL just blows up the whole roster. |

Minority here but look at the bench...you dont have one. You got two forwards playing Center....you bring Hayes back and its no better..smh. The NBA is telling teams via the CBA to STOP the 3 all star stuff and we going to do it anyway? How is that going for PHX?

Let's play out an offseason with Mitchell:
Reaves, Rui, JHS, 17, 29 1st, 31 1st, 26 & 28 swap rights for Mitchell
Depth is weak at that point but you could still field a realistic title team, IMO.
Re-sign Max. Make him starting 2 guard. Mitchell starts at PG.
Work with D'lo to find a S&T opportunity. He gets to keep his bird rights that way and we get something. Orlando is interested (supposedly) so perhaps:
D'lo + 2nd to Orlando
TPE/2 2nds to Atlanta
Capela to LA
Atlanta clears the way for Okongwu and Sarr to gets mins and doesn't have to take on a any salary for it.
Wood has opted in. Convice Hayes to. I assume Cam will.
Capela, Hayes
AD, Wood, Cam
LeBron, Vando, Lewis
Max
Mitchell, Gabe
+ tMLE
Maybe this is fan fiction and not possible but I tried to be realistic while getting us what we need. I also think there is a way to to build a title team while keeping the core together (AD/Bron/D'lo/AR/Vando/Rui) and in some ways that might be more fun to watch but this is all to point out we could address the depth issue pretty easily. |

Why would Dan Gilbert trade with us? Has Cleveland ever traded with us in the last 10 years? Plus, there's the "Lakers Tax" to consider, where teams tend to demand more from us in trades. Gilbert would probably want to squeeze out as much as he can for Donovan Mitchell. I really don't see Mitchell ending up with the Lakers unless he insists on it himself
Trae Young seems more of a possibility than Mitchell. |

My 2 cents here is that in your lineup, Bron would be point guard again, Mitchell the 2 and Christie as the 3. Christie defends 3's really well anyways so that works - serve as the Danny Green role. |

Unfortunately, that is the key as well. Mitchell needs to demand a trade to only the Lakers but needs to do it in a way that is not public and done in almost a pleading and respectful way - like what Steve Nash did to get signed and traded to LA when Robert Sarver did not even contemplate the idea and did not want to do it when he was first pitched the idea. If he does it publically that pisses of Gilbert, he may send Mitchell to another team and even take a lesser package (its (bleep) Dan Gilbert here) just to spite the Lakers and its not even like the Lakers could put the best offer together either. Mitchell would really have to drive this process and it would have to be done very sensitively |

Gilbert gift wrapped LeBron/Danny to us by taking Nance and Clarkson’s contracts.

Cleveland is in the second round of the playoffs with Mitchell, they wouldn’t be with Reaves and Rui. And because of that, I don’t believe they are rebuilding. It looks like a Laker fan trade proposal.

Dwight Howard asked out from playoff regular Orlando and wanted to go to perennial bottom-dwellers Nets just so he could play with Deron Williams and was ok being traded to the Lakers. Again, Mitchell would have to drive this process or it has practically no chance of happening. |

this all depends on if Mitchell asks to be traded or tells them he is not coming back next summer
its that simple to understand, guess not for flippers fans |

I think the Jazz ending up with the 10th pick is the best thing to happen at the lottery. They are literally on the treadmill. Memphis was in the same situation with Pau back in the day. Ainge can bluster all he wants about getting 5 FRP's for Lauri but it isn't happening. They aren't going anywhere unless they end up with a top 3 pick in the next 2 drafts.
Lauri is sitting there fresh as a daisy at age 26 not exerting any energy in the playoffs. Meanwhile Donovan, a smaller guard, is on one leg trying to drag his team to wins which he's done for years now going back to Utah and their bubble team.
Also I doubt Trae is happening. If the Spurs want to pair him with Wemby they have the upperhand with 2 top 8 picks this year + the FRP's they already own from ATL. |

| I think I might value a higher level guard than big...still want a big, but in terms of that big star we have a greater need at guard than the front court....I think it's going to be trae he seems like such a "laker" kind of player to get and I'm ok with it but probably need to retool need a better defending guard with him could be Max in worst case and a 3 who can hit the 3 pter with consistency and D up a tough ask with where we would be salary wise and this assumes Bron is the 4 which is realistically what he is now |

Nash was like 38 when the Suns traded him and Nash gave them like a decade of everything he had. Mitchell is 27 and has been in Cleveland two seasons and the Cavs traded a ton for him. They owe Mitchell absolutely nothing. If Mitchell wants out they shouldn't care at all where he wants to go and should simply take the best offer that they get. Whether that's the Lakers or not shouldn't matter to them. If Mitchell demands the Lakers and the Cavs pass up a better offer to oblige him the Cavs are idiots. If the Cavs take a worse offer to spite the Lakers they are also idiots. |

I’ll type this slowly for you. The Cavs are having playoff success for the first time in a while so if Mitchell asks out and they comply with the request, they will look to trade for a player/players that can help keep that playoff success. That would eliminate Reaves and Rui. Especially considering Gilbert’s feelings toward the Lakers. Atlanta is likely rebuilding, I think they could have interest in Reaves and future draft picks.

I could see the Jazz trying to use their pick stockpile to try and bring in talent. I could see interest in their picks from the Clippers and Warriors. The Jazz will have competition for ticket sales for the first time next winter, a tanking team would likely have them losing that competition.

The Lakers would not entertain even if the Cavs would. They will 1000% ride LeBron out to retirement because the 150M they pay LeBron will generate 2-3x more of that money. |

Do you think potential trade partners would give up all their assets if Mitchell indicates he won't stay with them long term? That's the whole point. We've already seen this scenario play out with AD when the Pelicans didn't really want to deal with the Lakers but had no real alternative since AD had all the leverage.

Mitchell was on a 1 year deal when the Cavs traded for him? I'm sure you can recognize the difference in the 2 scenarios.

Looks like NO is getting serious about parting with Ingram.

New Orleans is going to aggressively try to trade him, reports NBA insider Marc Stein in his latest newsletter.

Yeah, weird to frame the Cavs of all teams as adversaries to the Lakers. Not in the same conference or division, zero rivalries. |

its that simple to understand, guess not for flippers fans |
I’ll type this slowly for you. The Cavs are having playoff success for the first time in a while so if Mitchell asks out and they comply with the request, they will look to trade for a player/players that can help keep that playoff success. That would eliminate Reaves and Rui. Especially considering Gilbert’s feelings toward the Lakers. Atlanta is likely rebuilding, I think they could have interest in Reaves and future draft picks. |
just like how fat harden requested a trade only to flippers and went to your flippers, stars decide where they go. not hard to understand |

Will be interesting to see what they’ll get. Personally, I would view him as a negative asset.

They should. Ingram isn't a good fit with Zion. Pelicans need a playmaking scoring point guard.
Ingram would be a fit on a team like Memphis. Him next to Morant, Bane and JJ would be really good.
Morant
Bane
Ingram
Jaren Jackson Jr.
They would just need a Center. Maybe Jonas back?
