Lakers Buddy Hield & Myles Turner Trade UPDATE After DeAndre Ayton News! Los Angeles Lakers Rumors
The Indiana pacers tried to sign DeAndre Ayton, they cleared up enough cap space to sign him, but ultimately the phoenix suns ended up matching the offer that the pacers gave to Ayton because, DeAndre Ayton is a restricted free agent now what,
This means is the Indiana pacers are left with a significant amount of cap space, and maybe they would be willing to help facilitate a three-team trade with the Los Angeles lakers or maybe the fact that they struck out on the free agent, that they went out and tried to sign they might be willing to go ahead and take on Russell Westbrook for this upcoming season,
If they got some draft capital so that they could continue to further their rebuild, with some more draft picks, we saw them trade Malcolm Brogdon for some players and a future first-round pick from the Celtics, and it looks like miles turner would be open to playing with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he’s a guy who’s been linked to the team for a long time, and buddy healed has also been linked to the lakers for a while,
I mean you look back at last off-season, the lakers almost had a deal done to bring healed to the team, so maybe the lakers could swoop in and try to make a move to bring a guy like miles turner to their team, he’s on an expiring contract he might be a little bit upset that the pacers went after DeAndre Ayton, because that would be essentially taken away his starting spot,
so maybe a trade involving Kendrick Nunn the in a future first could be enough for the lakers to land miles turner a shot blocking, big man a guy who can step out and shoot the three, and I think that would make him a good fit next to Anthony Davis, and a nightmare in the front court for opposing offenses with A.d and miles turner being two of the best shot blocking big men in the league, now here’s another trade scenario,
The lakers straight away a future first-round pick along with Kendrick Nunn thc and Wenyen Gabriel, and they bring buddy hill to their team, they add more shooting they’re a team that needs more shooting on their roster, and buddy heal can provide them with exactly that one of the best sharp shooters in the entire league, now how about this scenario where the lakers they end up bringing miles turner and buddy healed to their team in this trade, the lakers trade away two future first round picks along with Russell Westbrook on an expiring contract the pacers get some draft picks,
His contract expires after the season or maybe they agree to a buyout, but regardless they could get off of his money, after this upcoming season, and then they could have open cap space to pursue free agents in the 2023 off-season, to try and improve the roster, and they’d also have those draft picks.
