Lakers Post-Durant Block
Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2018 10:25 am
Not Available
Khris Middleton - I would never trade Mateen Yeaton. I'm not trading the closest thing I've had to him since then, either.
Patrick McCaw - Favored player UNLV loyalty, and making progress as a 3 & D guy.
Cheick Diallo - Arguably the greatest 2nd round pick in CSL history.
1st round picks
Trade Restricted - Day 60
PF/C Christian Wood - UNLV guy and a young elite rebounder who can play defense
PPF/C Daniel Miller - Journeyman 6th man/5th starter type. Open to dealing at Day 60.
PG/SG Dennis Schroeder - Will get a run as the starting PG to see how he does
Only For An Upgrade
PG/SG Shabazz Napier - Excellent combo guard, and I like him a ton. There's a reason he's outlasted TJ McConnell and Shane Larkin. 28 and in his prime on a fantastic contract
Available
PG Marcus Paige - Great backup PG on an even better contract
SG/SF Mateusz Ponitka - If he gets more pref work, he'll be a great third scoring option
PF/C Georigios Papagiannis - Slow start, but his potential ratings say he'll be a two-way stud when he develops
PF/C Joel Bolomboy - Underrated defensively and on a short, cheap contract
PF/C Kaleb Tarczewski - I think he's underrated as a bench big. Cheap contract and I like him more than most people
C Alex Len - Perennial 6th Man of the Year contender and quality 5th starter. Or if you're a greedy cap pig, he can be a $7 million expiring
Somewhere around $9 million in cap space
Free To Good Home
PG/SG/SF Tony Wroten - Contract filler and expiring
Notes
We have a glut of quality bigs now in Wood, Len, and Miller as legitimate starters, Greek Papa as a promising prospect, and Bolomboy and Kaleb T as excellent reserves/pinch hit starters. We'd look at dealing out of that position of strength primarily - whether it's for picks, a young two way PG, a two-way SG/SF, or a young starter big upgrade
Looking for
1. First round picks
2. A young two way PG - Must have at least 60 scoring/65 passing/70 handling, able to shoot the ball, and solid defense. If he's someone that can be fixed with preferences, I'll take a look at him, too
3. A young two way SG/SF - I'm fine with letting McCaw develop into a 3 & D fifth starter and rotating between him and Ponitka depending on matchups, so not a *huge* priority
3. A young starter big upgrade - Can either be PF or CE - Wood will just shift to whatever spot is left over. I can let Papa develop into his potentials as the best two-way big in this class, so again, not a huge priorty
We don't have any interest in bench players unless it's a young player with considerable upside
