Still not close to a championship roster.

-Walker Kessler
Lakers trade away players:
-D’Angelo Russell
-Rui Hachimura
-Jalen Hood-Schifino
-Gabe Vincent
-Cam Reddish

…
Compare the current roster:
PG: RUSSELL, Vincent, Hood-Schifino
SG: REAVES, Christie, James Jr
SF: HACHIMURA, Knecht, Reddish
PF: JAMES, Vanderbilt, Lewis
CE: DAVIS, Hayes, Wood
With the post-trade roster:

SG: LAVINE, Christie, OPEN
SF: JAMES, Knecht, OPEN
PF: DAVIS, Vanderbilt, Wood
CE: OLYNYK, Kessler, Hayes
We would not even make the play in. lol. Just curious, why 4 centers?
lol. Ainge has rebuffed better offers for WK already, throwing in 2 junk players isn’t a needle mover when 2 FRP’s can’t get it done let alone 1.
I’m skeptical the Bulls will pay to move LaVine. Rather I think they’d roll into next season and see if he can play. They’ll have a need for scoring and closing that DeMar had handled and now, theoretically, falls to Lavine and Co. They are also at 15 players, I believe, so that doesn’t seem to be factored into your trade at all.
Lastly. that is a VAST under-pay for KO. He outplays the value of his contract consistently, they’re also flush with guards and need talented size. Gabe checks zero boxes for them.
Don’t see this one coming to fruition.
So we end up with no point guards and 5 centers.
Sweet….
