Summary:
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the best teams in the nba but can not finish out games. Infact the Lakers had 5 games leading at half time in the 2024 playoffs aganist the Nuggets. Spoiler alert, Lakers lost 4 - 1. Lebron has given his last warning to the Lakers. They are as desperate ass ever to win. This will result into them trading their whole future to bring in a 36 year old Kevin Durant. Obviously this is not what I would do as the Lakers, but with the speculation going around right now, its defintely something that's intresting to think about. The Suns after blowing up their whole future to win now are infact unable to win now. Rumor has it Kevin Durant wants out and the Lakers will pounce. The Suns manage to snag Karl Antony Towns. UNdoubtely the best stretch big in the Nba. The Timberwolves are one of the best teams in the nba and it would be stupid to trade a player of his claiber but they are facing huge finacial issues. Minneota isnt the biggest market and with a scum owner like they have It is expected that Kat will get traded. They need to clear 12 Million to avoid Luxury and in this trade they clear more than 15 Million. In return they get back a future Pg in Austin Reeves and Jarred Vanderbilit. Vando played his best in Minnesota and by returing he may turn his carrer around. The Wolves traded all their picks to bring in Gobert and are desperate to get some back. This trade gives them 3 firsts and a future swap. They also get Rui one of the most likeable players in the nba. Plz comment who wins and make sure to like the trade 👍🏼
