Lakers Best Trade Partner The Portland Trailblazers?

what’s going on everyone so before I dive into this uh excuse my voice kind of losing my voice got a little bug going on um feel fine feel okay show must go on but yeah it’s just like messing with my like throat and voice and whatnot and my chest but we’re good we’ll be all right uh diving into this though right portland Trailblazers um now Portland is a team that been linked to the Lakers for a year and some change now right like they were last season uh in the offseason trade deadline you saw you know Jeremy Grant was like the big kind of name circling the the Lakers in a potential trade right and then you had uh DeAndre Aiden which still is something that uh is brought up pretty regularly um I mean there were even reports the other day about uh you know a potential Portland Lakers for eight trade because the Lakers need a center right robert Williams um but to me I look at Portland as a team that has multiple players and pieces that the Lakers really need and I’m not talking about Jeremy Grant or even Aiden sure if you wanted to get Aiden I’m not really big on Aiden i think his potential is through the roof still like I I I really do believe he could be you know a 20 and 10 center that could be one of the better centers he just is one of those guys that just can’t get out of his own way right like it’s just it’s weird right like and I do think that if he went to the right team right situation right right system I do think he could really thrive i just I don’t know if I want the Lakers to make that investment in him personally um but I look at Portland and you have guys like Rereath and uh Thybel right and Robert Williams right you have multiple players that you should be able to acquire that shouldn’t break the bank to go and acquire right so instead of focusing on like the big names right like I said a Jeremy Grant uh you know Aton um whatever can you go and get two or three just kind of like lowering back in pieces but make sense for the Lakers right like Lakers have so many needs obviously the center position that’s the biggest one but 3D wing depth athleticism some youth right like guys that can knock down the three while also defending you know multiple players right depth bench help right so you know you look at Simons right he’s a guy that is on the market dating back to last season personally I’d stay away from him eighton same thing stay away from him um you know Jeremy Grant I’d stay away from him i would look to Portland as a team that has kind of these back-end guys that maybe you can work something out to acquire those guys right so again you look at a thyel 28 years old 6’5 excellent defensive piece right he’s making 11 million okay well you look at Diab Breath 2869 he’s making two million well that’s two guys 13 million right there right and gives you two perimeter defensive versatile you know three and D type guys dybal can be kind of hit or miss from three but gives you those two guys that can come in and slot in and and play that role for you um and then obviously Robert Williams the third right 27 you know 12 million so talking about three guys that are 25 million combined that you may be able to go and acquire rather than going like for example Nick Claxton you could get Nick Claxton or you could get Robert Williams thigh bowl and wreath i’d rather that now I don’t think Robert Williams can be your starting center right just because of his injury history and whatnot but I do think that so so now you have your backup position solved and you have literally two three and D guys that are young enough that you could start alongside Luke and LeBron right like you could go if you want to do Luca Thyel Rereath LeBron and then go get like I said a real starting center right and then have Robert Williams as your back like I I want to see the Lakers again I’ve talked about this be creative right lakers have so many needs that you need to address and if they want to get to a true contender right like I do think if you get the right center that alone would do wonders for this team but are they a true contender are they much better yes could they maybe be a contender sure but a true contender like one of the you know three top teams in the league that you look at and go like okay they’re they have a very good chance of winning right like that i think the Lakers need to solve multiple right i think they need at least four maybe five players right i think you need a clear-cut starting center clear-cut backup center and then at least two real perimeter guys you know athletes that can defend and and kind of help you through a 82 game season while giving you production in the postseason now you do that now I think the Lakers are a team that is slaughtered right there and could potentially be a true contender right because you know adding you know Nick Claxton and then you know going and signing a Clint Capella right like that’s great okay could you take a flyer on like a DeAnthony Melton sure guy that I’ve talked about right or you know could you again maybe maybe get one of these young guys right can can you get a Zair Williams right like some youth athletic guys but you could do a trade like I said with like a team like Portland go get three or four guys that can kind of round out the depth round out the bench solve multiple needs and still go get an the Anthony Mountain because it wouldn’t affect your cap space so again I would love a Nick Claxton but I’m I would love a Robert Williams thigh bowl and wreath more than just a Nick Claxton because I think I don’t think the Lakers need and Nick Claxton isn’t necessarily the best example of this but like I don’t think the Lakers need a super skilled allstar type of center i would love it right like if the Lakers could go get Mark Williams right again this off seasonason sure right like if you got Mark Williams Robert Williams and then Dybel and Rereath and then signed to DeAnthony Melton perfect right like now you got three guys that can come in defend the perimeter hit shots do all that stuff and then also got your two centers locked up perfect chef kiss in my opinion right but I don’t think the Lakers necessarily need a Mark Williams right like I think it would be a nice thing to have it’d be a luxury to have but I don’t think the Lakers need a guy that you dump the ball down to cuz you got to keep in mind right any center the Lakers get you know is more likely than not going to at best be the fourth option because they’re going to be behind Luca LeBron and likely Austin Reeves unless the Lakers end up trading Reeves which I don’t think that they will right so bare minimum that center is your fourth option right so to me it’s like okay well can you get the complimentary pieces around that and then just go get a serviceable center that can block shots rebound right and be that lob threat it’s all you really need let Luca LeBron and Reeves operate do their thing and then have that outlet right perfect and then you go and get that perimeter help you get that bench depth you get those pieces yes Dybel isn’t this like great offensive piece right he’s not this guy that like is going to be cooking everybody but he’s a guy that can be that point of attack defender right slot in alongside Luca Lebron and Austin Reeves right do the dirty work do the hustle plays be that that athleticism out on the perimeter chase down loose balls right he’s one of the better perimeter defenders when healthy a wreath gives you a 69 versatile wing that can slot in the three or the four you add that to Jared Vanderbilt and a Dorian Finny Smith and all that now all of a sudden you have multiple guys that you can deploy on these various teams right like that is something that I would prefer and then just get that versatile you know wing or uh center sorry not wing that versatile center that can slot in play the role that you need and again now I would rather go the depth route right like even a a guy like uh Kamar right another great option so like again Portland is a team that has multiple players multiple just young versatile wings right that you know because of Jeremy Grant and all this other stuff like aren’t getting the necessary opportunity they’re going to need to pick a direction and make some choices right so like if you told me right Kamara is uh making 2 million right like if you could do something you know even like if you’re trading adult connect like connect a first Ruie and whatever Maxi Cleba and Gabe Vincent right like salary filler but like hey here’s a young shooter here’s you know a a a first round pick and you go get a 25-year-old Camara right you go get a 28-year-old Dupre wreath right who’s getting 6’9 in size Camaro’s 67 right a a Matise Dybel who’s you know 6’5 point of attack versatile defensive piece and then like a Robert Williams who’s getting 27 69 you know rebounding monster that solves pretty much everything right like again you’d still need a clearcut starting center but I think the Lakers could get that like right and I do think that there are options on the market that if you had to kind of just get through a year you could but again you get 65 diver uh versatile defensive point of attack guy 67 versatile wing a 6-9 versatile wing and then a 69 you know athletic lob threat shot blocking center right that could be your backup perfect right like instead of trying to hit a home run on every trade and go get this like big name or whatever just go get look at these teams I’ve talked about like an Orlando or like a a Portland or these teams that have an abundance of needs that you can solve and now instead of you just getting one or two guys you’re getting three four five guys kind of retooling this roster on the fly but everyone’s young enough to be on the team and on the roster for the next you know handful of years i’d rather go that route personally but anyway as always this is a discussion
