LAKERS TRADE FOR SIMONS& WILLIAMS
I love idea of trading for Simons rather than Grant. Solves problem of replacing DLO. Simons/Reaves backcourt could be elite.
Expand trade to include DLO, Rui, JHS, Reddish, and '29 and '31 FRPs for Simons and Williams. https://t.co/LY8ZZSkDgf pic.twitter.com/jYmhFkGy33— LakerTom (@LakerTom) August 4, 2024

Can we bet? If just one of your harebrained proposals comes to pass, I’ll praise every one of them going forward. If you lay another goose egg, YOU JUST STOP.
Hilarious but LT, even if he bet, wouldn’t be able to live up to his end of the deal.
I’d do this trade. The Blazers and Rob will not.
It’s the kind of trade Rob has to be looking for. If you’re going to give up two picks, it can’t be just for one player. None of the Lakers current targets are worth 2 picks alone, including Simons. But getting Williams makes that trade a potential big winner imo.
Williams has played 216 games in 6 years. He had 2 surgeries on one knee and a third on the other knee. He currently has no trade values and yet you would give up a 1st round pick for him. He won’t have much value until he can prove he can stay on the court AND all the surgeries haven’t diminished his abilities.
