FROM THE ABOVE ARTICLE:
1. Lauri Markkanen
2. Walker Kessler
3. Deandre Ayton
4. Nic Claxton
5. Clint Capela
6. Nickeil Alexander-Walker
7. Nikola Vucevic
8. Chris Paul
9. Dennis Schroder
10. Robert Williams III
Very interesting article with trades or moves to get each of the 10 players. I especially like Robert Williams trade idea:
Proposed Trade Details
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Robert Williams
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: Jarred Vanderbilt, Shake Milton, 2025 No. 55 Overall Pick
Health caveats aside, Robert Williams posted 5.8 PPG, 5.9 RPG, and 1.7 BLK in only 20 games before knee surgery, shooting 64.1%. Portland could move him with one year left on his deal, given their crowded center room, and the Lakers would be smart to move Jarred Vanderbilt in a potential deal for him.
If you buy the medical reports, Williams is the highest defensive ceiling on the board: a switch-to-the-perimeter big who also deters at the rim. Picture closing lineups of Luka-Reaves-LeBron-Williams. It’s a swing-for-the-fences move, and maybe the last one of the LeBron era.
