Breaking news: Lakers signed another sensational star in a Blockbuster Four-Team Trade.
In the most recent Bleacher Report trade proposal, the Los Angeles Lakers pull off an all-timer move.
Now that the pinnacle of free agency has passed, the NBA news and speculations have stopped. This implies that in order to kill time before basketball returns, now is the ideal moment to devise fictitious blockbuster trades.
In his most recent article, Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus accomplished precisely that. LeBron James and Steph Curry are now teammates thanks to a huge bombshell trade he arranged. Luckily for Lakers supporters, they are in Los Angeles.
The specifics of this four-team deal are as follows:
The Warriors trade Stephen Curry to the Lakers.
Day’Ron Sharpe, a Nets player
Wendell Moore Jr., the Detroit Pistons player
$13.9 million trade exemption (Schifino, Joel)
Austin Reaves to the Warriors (via Lakers)
Brooklyn Nets via Ben Simmons
2029 first-round pick without protection (via Lakers)
2031 first-round pick without protection (via Lakers)
Trade exemption of $2.4 million (Curry)
Nets receive: D’Angelo Russell through the Lakers
Hachimura Rui (via Lakers)
Gabe Vincent through the Lakers
Hood-Schifino, Jalen (via Lakers)
$23.3 million exemption to trade (Simmons)
Trade exemption of $2.0 million (Dennis Schröder)
Dennis Schröder to the Pistons (via Nets)
Christian Wood through the Lakers
2025 LA Clippers (via Lakers) in the second round
2025 Second-round pick of the Miami Heat (38-59, via Nets)
$4,000,000 (via Lakers)
In summary, the Lakers acquire Steph Curry for Austin Reaves, two first-round selections, and salary padding from players like D’Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura.
For the Lakers, this would obviously be a no-brainer. But only if Curry expressly requests to be moved to the Lakers would this be possible. Should Curry become available in a trade, which is highly doubtful, the Lakers could not come up with a better offer.
Furthermore, Curry’s desire to leave Golden State and the Warriors’ desire to go a different course are not indicated. With an older squad, the Warriors are no longer in the running for a title, but Curry is the greatest player in franchise history, so trading him is impossible unless he wants to go elsewhere.
The prospect of LeBron and Curry together is a dream that basketball fans will never give up, even though this agreement is probably more of a pipe dream. Their exciting performances for Team USA in the Olympics in Paris demonstrated just how much fun that combo would be. Hopefully, we will be able to watch them together when they are just starting out in the NBA.
