Welcome to the Lakers my Greek Freak friend! Just like AD. Milwaukee is older and toast now that Dame Time is done (hope he’s not. but). We have young Hayes, Reaves, Knecht, plus many Picks. Rui could go with DFS as well.
lol. Dude I wish you’d do SOME research before posting stuff like this. Simple internet Google search reveals a lot…
Me and LT are Dreamers! Got AD didn’t we?
Well, keep dreaming. That happened after many years of losing and acquiring young, solid talent and not trading picks for a vet until we signed LeBron and had a piece to build around. Giannis ain’t getting trading for spare parts and empty buckets dude.
I’m all for making a move, this roster as-is has a major hill to climb to be a contender. But that’s not happening in any universe. I won’t even get into why it doesn’t make salary cap sense.
2025 (this summer): we have 1 2nd rounder. 2026 we can’t trade until the summer of 2026, the 2nd rounder is headed to Toronto. 2027 is slotted to go to Utah (Russ trade) unless it falls in the top 4, no 2nd rounder, headed to Brooklyn (DFS trade). 2028 we have to keep until we know the fate of 2027 which means we can’t trade it until the 2028 summer. No 2nd rounder. 2029 no picks, used ‘em to get Luka and Rui. 2030 we have to hold onto until summer of 2030 and no 2nd rounder.
Which means the only 1st round pick we can trade is the 2031 draft pick until next season starts.
So unkess “many” means “exactly 1 2031 first rounder and 1 2025 second rounder” we don’t have the ponies for that race my man.

Excellent summary!!!
Thanks dude, just keeping it real. Folks can dream all they want, I just don’t have the time for it. No way Giannis comes here unless LBJ retires and even then…highly unlikely.
While you usually don’t trade a guy in-conference I’d be surprised that, if he even asks for a trade, that it wouldn’t be Miami.
