so if the Los Angeles Lakers don’t pull off a trade for Kyrie Irving, what other options,
We’re going to be going over and talking about how this update on kyrie irving could affect the way the lakers move forward, so i think that the lakers do have other options because those 2027 and 2029 picks reportedly have a lot of value in the marketplace i mean other teams don’t know where the lakers are going to be in 2027 or 2029 which could mean that those picks end up being really good.
So those picks are something that the lakers have to work with and it looks like so far they haven’t been willing to include two future first round picks for buddy hield and myles turner but what if they could also get kelly Oubre jr, I mean they’d still be trading away those two future first-round picks, but would add an athletic three and d wing be enough for the lakers to say you know what we’ll give up these two future first round picks, so that we could also add buddy hield to myles turner.
I think this move would really help out the lakers and in this trade scenario, they’d be trading away Russell Westbrook tht to future first and two future second round picks, but if the lakers aren’t willing to trade two future first round picks to add buddy hield to myles turner, would they be willing to do that if they could add another point guard because they would be trading away Russell Westbrook in this scenario.
So would add another point guard and tj McConnell help the lakers as they look to try and make a move that will put them back into that championship contender category, maybe adding a play making guard like McConnell would be enough for the lakers to say you know what we’ll give up those two picks here’s another trade scenario the lakers straightaway Talen Horton tucker, Russell Westbrook and two future first round picks, and they add a lot of depth patrick Beverley, kelly Oubre jr, Terry Rozier and mason Plumlee, you have a good defensive guard and patrick Beverley you have a great scoring garden Terry Rozier you have kelly Ouber jr who’s a good three and d wing he’s very athletic he can defend.
then you have Mason Plumlee who’s a solid center who can rebound and score inside this would be a move where the lakers would add tons of additional depth to their roster this next trade scenario we’re talking about is where patrick Beverley myles turner and buddy hield joined the lakers, straightaway Russell Westbrook into future first round picks.
They also trade away tht you add in a new guard and patrick Beverley you also add miles turner buddy heel to the team who i think will be able to make a pretty big impact for la i mean the spacing that they can both provide more so buddy hield he’s an elite shooter while myles turner is solid from three he can also bring that rim protection and then you also had patrick Beverley who could bring that defense as well.
