The Dalton Knecht dillema has a dark side. Y get traded but then y need to go back?
Since Hornets still want to execute the trade and they have traded for Nurkic, maybe LAL and CHA agree on the to swap the players but LA keeps a pick - because Williams has health issues not mention.
Hornets have trade for Nurkis and get two young wings - Lakers a Center also if it may only short term or backup.
CHA Dalton Knecht, Reddish
LAL Mark Williams

Im will become a Laker:
HOR Knecht, 1st, 1st swap
LAL Williams
I mean, this guy is genius. Sitting on two old stars, without a chance to win it all - but still in the playoffs, hence we low pics and you trade basically:
OUT Davis, Knecht, 2x1st, 1st Swap, 2nd
IN Doncic, Williams
Having probabily immediatelly a better team?! Having two young players, maybe some of best on PG and Center the next 10 years?
Great job!
Dallas was that underdoy, heart and soul, loyality, build and win - emotions. will have it never for Lakers - when I will follow them a bit. The only thing, what I am really looking forward is the next game DAL - LAL seeing LA winning.
06 Feb 2025 20:29:46
Hey I like our new LAL team
Williams
LeBron
Dorian
Reaves
Luca
Lets compare Luca over Kyrie, Reaves over Thompson, Finney over Martin, LeBron or Davis? and Williams over Gaffort - I mean - LAL has the better team now!
07 Feb 2025 18:08:51
I know you're disappointed, but Dallas still has a fantastic team with great depth. They're very capable of another deep playoff run.
08 Feb 2025 12:12:52
It is not the playoffs - even if the will not win it all - only if they may add Durant, they would have a change next year.
But it is not the point. "Mavs" are gone. Luca was genious - but not perfect. Dallas has not the best marked, it is not Miami, LA or NY - it was always an underdog - like Dirk was genious but not perfect - they worked had, they fighted - succeeded. Nearly 15 years later it felt like 2008.
The heard the soul is gone. Even since it may not only Harrison - also the owners have approved it for sure - like share option deal on the market - to buy some call for the Dow Jones, since you think shortterm it may raise - a bet. Not to build a sports team, not to even a team, a city, a community of fans - sharing hopes and a vision.
And it is also the individual of Luca. He makes fun. He is not a machine, trained like a horse.
Nothing about Davis. Great player. But not a Joker, not a SGH even not Tatum - and he is no Luca - maybe he is the best PF you have in the game - but is was never magic.
I hope nobody will ki l l Harrison - because there are a lot of angry fan. Because Mavs are have died.
08 Feb 2025 21:58:43
You traded Luca for David - because of health concerns? LOL
Davis is a great play - if health. No clue why that stupid Mavs didn`t trade for him by sending Kyrie out (a week defender that is 32y old and can opt out in summer) .
LAL Kyrie, Lively, 2x1st
DAL Davies, Christie.
09 Feb 2025 16:33:29
Because the Lakers wouldn’t have moved AD for Kyrie.
11 Feb 2025 08:06:48
They had beef with Davis -. they like Kyrie and they miss a Center - Lively is a good one with the sealing to become a great one. But doesn`t matter. Magic is a Laker. : )
05 Feb 2025 15:48:59
Kyrie denies his option (if he would have played with Davis, he could have sign two years before at Lakers instead of Dallas).
Lakers sign Kyrie
LAL Durant
SUN Vanderbilt, Kleber, Reaves, Hachimura
Capela
LeBron
Durant
Luca
Kyrie
On X for Harrison: It is business baby, we thing for the next years not for longer, when we are burried.
05 Feb 2025 17:09:37
with what cap space are the Lakers signing both Kyrie and Capela?
05 Feb 2025 21:37:49
With the space, that a as. hol. like Harrison has created.
He is a good / bad example of issues all around. "Managers". He is neither an owner nor a earlier professional in sports. He is smart, thinks in terms of contracts and maybe his bonus. Without a heart or a soul - like a lot other "managers" "playing" with people and their lives - if it works he looks proud - if not, he will say proudly, I try it, but the players did not work it out. He wil has taken his money an go.
Mavs, Luca, Basketball has lost heart, soul and loyality. Mavs will be never the same - it was always a underdog organization - to see again something grow - also a great offensive player without the best defense - y remember there was another the last 20 years - but no, burry the legacy, burry the history, burry legacy to "maybe" win a title this or next year - ****, Harrison y are an ashole - and with the ofter hurt Kyrie and Davis Mavs may even not be able to win a title. It is what it is - like if you lost a member of a family to death. It is unchangeable - it hurts - but in this case, it was not needed and y could have easily build a champion team with Luca. Luca will become a Laker. If LAL trade for a big, they have already a play off team - but I am not a Laker - and I have not played Basketball anymore the last 20 years. It is time - to leave.
03 Feb 2025 16:00:58
How to make LA Contender?
LAL: Center
XXX: 1st, Hachimura, Wood
I will yerry LAL - cooler place.
03 Feb 2025 21:16:55
I mean - yeah - Luca will be happy soon - y make it easy for him, to get ahead of Dallas and to enjoy to be a Laker. I mean, the greatest history - and in may point of view - immeditally a better team, have more asset and flexibility - when LAL make 1/ 2 good trade - at least a good Center. Imaging Mavs get Turner or Poeltl - or I would like Capela - he may cost only a 2nd.
LAL - Luca are winners - Mavs fans are loosers - intentionally ripped by this GM, that takes himself so important - he wants to establish a culture - he has destroy a culture - at least the loyality and fan base - independent if the Mavs are the best team or if they did everything for the best business the last 10 years. Luca was bringing them back - why this as. hol. was not opportunistic at Kyrie? Send him to NOL for Murray and Jones and Mavs would have had a mucher better defense as they have now - and they would have still everything - what is unrepairable destroyed now. It becomes even more worse - every time when you think about it. What a bull. Image Davis or Kyrie get hurt - only for a half of a season? Mavs miss even the playoffs. I am done - Mavs done.
03 Feb 2025 22:55:33
To become finally banned here. GM Harrison - what an i di o t.
03 Feb 2025 08:35:21
This Mavs GM ruined Mavs. Forever. It is such an opportunistic "try" with such high "risk" - Irving, Thompson, Davis - all have health issues - never play more than 60 games - y have this and may 1 or 2 years to win "one" ring and rebuild - without a lot pics. But first of all "Mavs base" and culture is dead. That Move is so uggly, like if you would have trade Nowitzki out at 2012, because he was older and not good at defense.
Mavs was always an underdog. To see a underdog grow and win it fantastic. Now it is business. Exchangeable - Mavs and all players are exchangeable - it does not matter if you play at Mavs - you could play at any other 29 cities - no difference - no CULTER - no Mavs anymore. One of 30 teams.
Tradeprosal:
LAL: GM Harrison, 2x2nd
DAL: Cash consideration
Thks guys, best.
03 Feb 2025 09:28:09
I like this trade for Dallas
I think the A Davis-Irving combo is great, both are going to improve (Without LBJ and Doncic) and they have a well balanced team.
Dallas is smart not giving Luka a max contract. He's looking overweight and had some injuries. He could become the next Zion. That would ruin the franchise too. I hope this is a wake up call for him. He's a great player, but he needs to take better care of his body.
03 Feb 2025 12:55:30
Gasupo watch Luka kill it in LA, he can be more motivated than ever.
03 Feb 2025 14:04:25
Damn. That’s your best trade proposal I’ve seen you do.
03 Feb 2025 18:08:14
Even Cuban is confused. the culture he has build is gone.
That trade is evan childy as arrogant - to show who is in charge - to damage the Dallas Mavericks I liked a lot. No guys this chat and yours - like the Mavs - I am gone.
03 Feb 2025 20:57:57
No excuse for such a horrible trade by Dallas. 20 teams would have given more.
04 Feb 2025 01:26:31
I feel sorry for Dalcon, that trade was reckless. The only way this trade makes any sense is if Doncic has a serious injury.
02 Feb 2025 14:36:26
Los Angeles Lakers / Chicago Bulls
Los Angeles Lakers: Nikola Vucević, Jevon Carter.
Chicago Bulls: Gabe Vicent, Dalton Knecht, Maxi Kleber, 1rnd pick
02 Feb 2025 19:39:00
Take out Knecht or the first, and it's probably still too much.
02 Feb 2025 20:04:19
Overvaluing Vooch much? No wag i give Dalton for him.
04 Feb 2025 13:16:28
19/ 10 plus a shooting big is more valuable to lakers than any rookie in their roster.
02 Feb 2025 11:35:37

29 Jan 2025 03:27:53
Cavs/ Lakers
Lebron to the Cavs
Niang Lavert Strus plus salary filler back to the lakers attach the future first if need be
Cavs go from title contenders to favorite for next 2 years
Lakers get back Flexibility a couple starters and a future pick
31 Jan 2025 19:21:10
I'm not opposed to this. The biggest question to me would be fit. Our frontcourt isn't the greatest at shooting.
27 Jan 2025 00:47:53
Giving what they want..
Lakers get Vucevic
Suns get Pat Williams and Milton
Bulls get Hachimura and Nurkic
27 Jan 2025 09:47:46
I am not sure if LAL are giving Hachimura for Vooch. Their other options are either Vando (who is similar to Buzelis so CHI may not want him) or Christie who may be too valuable for LAL given his contract.
31 Jan 2025 04:51:42
Trade nurkic to Knicks Robinson suns clear cap lower taxes, Knicks get good passing center.
25 Jan 2025 11:36:32
Phoenix-Milwaukee-Miami-Washington-Minnesota
Phoenix get Butler, Love, Beauchamp
Milwaukee get Beal, Valanciunas
Miami get Middleton, Ighodaro, Kuzma, 1st round pick Phoenix, 2nds from Wizards
Washington get Lopez, Connaughton, Divincenzo, 2 1sts from Phoenix, 2 2nds Minnesota
- Wizards buyout Lopez (sign with a contender- Clippers/Lakers/Celtics etc.)
Minnesota get Bobby Portis
29 Jan 2025 01:53:02
lololol the wolves are not giving up divencenzo AND 2 2nds for bobby portis lolololololol.
22 Jan 2025 16:55:22
LAKERS get Jusuf Nurkić
SUNS get Jarred Vanderbilt and Saddiq Bey
WIZARDS get Gabe Vincent and 2 second round pick (one from PHO and LAL)
24 Jan 2025 08:56:57
Add in Monte Morris to be a backup PG for the Lakers and it looks perfect.
19 Jan 2025 10:48:26
Dal- vanderbilt, jhs & lotto pro 1st
Lal- gafford & 2nd
Dal made gafford available for trade possibly because he might want a big money extension. Vando is a serviceable big who can guard any position as long as he gets healthy he'll be an x factor on a winning team. Lakers finally adds a center next to ad
Luka / dinwiddie
Kyrie / hardy / jhs
Klay / marshall
Washington / vanderbilt

The Raptors as a facilitator in a Butler trade
Miami trades: Jimmy Butler, Pelle Larson
Miami receives: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Jalen Hood-Schifino, DET 2029 1st, LAL 2030 2nd
Toronto trades: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Davion Mitchell
Toronto receives: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd via DET, DET 2031 1st (top 10 prot)
Detroit trades: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd, 2029 1st, 2031 1st (top 10 prot)
Detroit receives: Jimmy Butler, Christian Wood, Pelle Larson
Lakers trade: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Christian Wood, LAC 2025 2nd, 2030 2nd
Lakers receive: Davion Mitchell
Why the Heat do this: Trade Butler and save 10 million while gaining good assets. JHS can be a prospect and Brown could easily net additional value.
Adebayo/Ware/Love
Jovic/Olynyk/Johnson
Brown/Highsmith/JHS
Robinson/Jaquez/Richardson
Herro/Rozier/Burks
Why the Raptors do this: They're rebuilding so sell their older players and take on some contracts for assets.
Poeltl/Boucher
Barnes/Harris/Mogbo
Barrett/Agbaji/Fontecchio
Dick/Hardaway/Walter
Quickley/Shead/Temple
Why the Pistons do this: Get a star in Butler to pair with Cade, while not giving too much for a player of his calibre.
Duren/Stewart/Reed
Thompson/Wood/Klintman
Butler/Holland/Moore
Ivey/Beasley/Larson
Cunningham/Sasser
Why the Lakers do this: Get a real, defensively solid PG while not giving up a first, bolstering their rotation.
Davis/Hayes/Koloko
Finney-Smith/Vanderbilt
James/Knecht/Reddish
Reaves/Christie/James
Mitchell/Vincent/Milton
Thoughts?
13 Jan 2025 21:33:58
I don't hate it but Will Butler go to Detroit?
13 Jan 2025 22:48:30
Toronto getting way too much this is lopsided asf.
14 Jan 2025 00:25:30
I didn't notice both 1sts. Take out the 1st going to Toronto.
15 Jan 2025 12:32:00
Good for Lakers, good value for TOR, bad for DET given the fit. A team that got better by surrounding Cade with more shooters around him to trade 3 of them for a suspect one in Butler (40% in small volume this year but historically not good) seems wrong.
30 Jan 2025 16:41:49
Not great but ok.
30 Dec 2024 22:25:19
Knicks: a Reaves

Portland firesale
Portland-Los Angeles Lakers
Portland receives: DAngelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, 1st round pick, 1st round pick swap
Los Angeles receive: Deandre Ayton
Portland-Sacramento
Portland receives: Kevin Huerter, Trey Lyles, 1st round pick & 2nd round pick
Sacramento receives: Jerami Grant
Portland - Brooklyn
Portland receives: Ben Simmons (exp) & 1st round pick
Brooklyn receives: Anfernee Simons, Mattise Thybule & 3 2nds
19 Dec 2024 12:53:22
This is believable to all trades but the Brooklyn trade you are giving up your best player plus Mattise thybule and 3 2nds round picks for someone as bad as Ben Simmons and 1 1st round pick from Brooklyn you would need Simmons and 3 1st round picks to get that trade and it is not the best you can get I would try trading that same trade but instead try to invest in a Cameron Johnson trade or Brooklyn is not worth the trade.
19 Dec 2024 22:53:13
Yeah, I’d rather just keep Simons. But if the other two are on the table, I’d take them in a heartbeat if I’m Portland.
I might take the Ayton deal without picks.
21 Dec 2024 16:18:54
Lakers taking on too much salary.
18 Dec 2024 18:14:44
Raps - lakers
Raps- russell, wood, 1st rd pick, 2nd rd pick
Lakers - poeltl, mitchell
13 Dec 2024 02:08:36
Warriors and Lakers trade
Warriors get LeBron, Bronny, Reddish & Wood
Lakers get Wiggins, Melton, Jackson-Davis, Payton, Anderson & 1st round pick
As a Lakers fan, wish Lebron and Steph play together for their 5th ring and i'd be happy to pair Wiggins with Davis.
Curry/Podziemski/Bronny
Hield/Moody/Waters
