Go get Trae Young. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".
Worst move they can make. He can't play defense and doesn't even shoot that well. Something like 37% from 3.
Trae has speed and gravity. He's not Mo Cheeks on D . . . but neither is DLO. As for 3-pt., DLo was a 35% guy until he came (back) to the Lakers 93 games ago. Trae has never had the looks DLo gets.
Most of all, Trae can actually take the ball out of LBJ's hands, break down defenses, finish AND get to the FT line. That is EXACTLY what we need.

We have 3 FRP, Reaves, Rui, Gabe.
Trae is already giving us this assist/low-key forcing his way out. Hawks won't get a better deal. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".

So you want us to give up plenty of assets to get a guy who has career averages of 43.6% from the field and 4.2 turnovers a game and is a defensive liability?

A Russell Westbrook who can get 30 points on any given night even if he didn’t try, imagine if LeBron tweaked his back or injured his knee how much valuable Trae would be for us if he can give us elite scoring and elite play making (11APG this past year )

They don't, but this would still be a legal trade because Toronto has the cap space to take in more salary.
How much cap space does Toronto have to absorb?
Theoretically, they can get up to almost $40MM in space, but that accounts for renouncing all of their cap holds. Quickley's cap hold will almost certainly be retained, but perhaps they move on from Trent Jr. In looking at both Fanspo and Spotrac, it appears they could afford to take in more salary than they give out in a trade, but as to how much, I'm not 100% sure. Here's their salary table on Spotrac:
They also cowboy hats in California not just in Texas you know…
They have cowboy hats all over the world if you really want to be like that. However they're not quite as common here as they are in Texas, trust me. I have Hella family in Texas. _________________ #Welp

Trae is 25 at entering his peak. Westbrook was 33 and past his prime. Moreover, the two biggest issues with WB were teams going under screens/ daring him to shoot, and poor finishing at the rim. NO ONE goes "under" on Trae and he's a solid finisher. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".

I don't think you have actually watched Tre outside of highlights. He isn't what you are describing.
I don't mind them trading for him. They aren't winning anything until Lebron is gone and the draft pick debts are paid. A tre Young move will prolong the eventual rebuild.
Should stand pat with the draft picks and wait ot out these next few years. Then you have real ammo to rebuild when Lebron is gone _________________ Previously LBJ23

You do not get someone for double the price and lose all depth/assets for a guy that can put up big numbers inefficiently when lebron is out. You need someone that fits with lebron if we want to win in playoffs.

People go under all the time because he is so small they can recover easily. His height is also a reason he takes longer 3s, sometimes defenders won't go out that far _________________ Previously LBJ23

I don’t think they will save that cap space for anyone but a DeRozan reunion if he was open to going back to Toronto so maybe DLO + Rui will be interesting to Masai and the Raptors.. I can’t see GTJ sticking in Toronto with there team looking to rebuild a little bit

We have no idea what value Trae has especially because a break up can be depended on him asking out of ATL which will undoubtedly put some damper on his value a little bit

Sometimes it is better to sit out the trade and have assets available for later _________________ Previously LBJ23

you still have to match his salary regardless you have to give up 3 players + picks. Not worth it.
