Lakers Best Trade With The Hornets?

Lakers Best Trade With The Hornets?

What’s going on everyone so the Los Angeles Lakers need to get LeBron James and Anthony Davis some help right uh Lebron James and Anthony Davis are playing unbelievable they are playing the best that they have played in years LeBron James has been the most efficient he has been since his Miami days Anthony

Davis has been the best he’s been since the bubble right and the Lakers owe it to these two and the level in which they are playing to go get them some proper talent and some guys that can deliver cuz this season in the Lakers roster just hasn’t been it they don’t really

Have anybody that’s consistently game in and game out uh just been able to perform now the Lakers very likely could go and make the Home Run trade right get a Zack LaVine there’s talks about like a Deonte Murray maybe somebody else comes on the horizon and that person becomes

Available but another option would be to go and get several pieces maybe from an individual team or you know maybe get a piece from several teams but one of the teams that I think would make a lot of sense for the Lakers if the Lakers were looking for a trade that wouldn’t

Necessarily be the Home Run trade like you know that third star that Zack LaVine Deon Murray or Donovan Mitchell or whomever right but also a realistic option because that’s the thing you got to keep in mind right when it comes to Laker trades it’s about like who’s

Available for one and two what is the cost and what is the competition cuz the Lakers are very limited on assets and resources so they are limited to specific types of teams or players Etc and one of those teams that I think make a world of sense are the Charlotte

Hornets I think the Charlotte Hornets have several pieces that could make a lot of sense for the Lakers I think the Charlotte Hornets they’re a team that is bad right and they are still in the process of that rebuild they’re in the process of trying to go from like a very

Bad team who is only only won eight wins to at some point in the hopefully soon future uh can be a team that’s competing uh to some level right but currently again Hornets are just a really bad team they are 8 and 26 on the season they are

In the 13th seed uh they are basically seven games out of a playin spot so they’re a team that’s not going to even be in the playin this year uh and they have some guys both Veterans as well as some young talent that could make a ton

Of sense for the Lakers and one of of them Terry roier right Terry roier Scary Terry uh he’s a guy that was on the Lakers radar last uh trade deadline right and potential Russell Westbrook Trade Charlotte was one of the teams that was heavily rumored because they

Wanted to get off a Terry roer’s contract also Terry roier he’d prefer to be on a competitive contending level team uh Terry roier also just makes a ton of sense for the Lakers he’s still only 29 years old so he has a ton of years years left ahead of him right his

Contract however he is making 23 million this year uh he still is under contract again next year for 24 million and then he has a partial guarantee uh in the 2025 2026 year of 26 million so he’s making some money right so the market for him is not going to be massive

There’s not going to be a ton of people baning on the door uh for Terry roier uh not because he’s not talented but again at you know 23 24 million many teams are looking at him as the guy to put them over the top uh but Terry roier is

Having a very solid year and he does provide something that the Lakers desperately need and that is somebody that can just go get a bucket right the Lakers desperately need somebody that can consistently put the ball in the hoop as well as somebody that can make

Some plays and Terry roier can do both this season for the Charlotte Hornets Terry roir is averaging 24 points seven assists four rebounds 1.1 steals right he’s a guy that’s shooting 87 almost 88% from the free throw line so he’s a guy that can knock it down at an efficient

Clip uh from two-point range he’s shooting 53% from the field on 11 attempts uh from Two and then he’s averaging 7.7 attempts from three-point range and he’s shooting almost 37% from three which isn’t lights out but still I mean look if he could shoot 37% for three for the Lakers that would be

Fantastic and playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis you got to imagine that he’d be a little more efficient a little more effective he is averaging basically as many shot attempts as he wants um but you know if you if you unload several pieces to go

Get him well then now I I do think that he would be able to get pretty close to his attempts right so if he could go and just give you 20 a game or even just 18 right he’s averaging 20 for right now can he give us 18 a game and still

Maintain the you know six assists or whatever if game in and game out Scary Terry can do that that would just be absolutely beautiful this is a guy that is an absolute bucket uh he just went off for almost 40 the other day uh he a

He put up 39 points on 10 of 18 from the field and still dished out 8 assists right like this is a guy that can go give you 30 plus On Any Given night right like let’s go look just to give you an idea his last 10 games his last

10 games he put up 22 25 181 18 42 34 15 39 so he has almost 2 40p point games he has three 30o games and several 20 point G I mean this guy is a bucket right he’s a little undersized at 61 but for a

Point guard it’s fine and and just being a guy that could just go put the ball in the hoop that’s what the Lakers need Lakers need somebody that can go get a basically be an upgrade over dowlo right and that’s kind of what you’d be looking at with Terry roier um

Defensively right there would be some concerns on the defensive end although he really is getting after it defensively uh or at least tries and attempts he’s not a great defensive player by any stretch uh he he’s been rough this year but at least he he tries to make an effort right

Um but he’s just undersized is the problem he’s not a guy that has If he if he was like 6’5 he’d probably be a pretty decent defensive player um but he’s a guy that could play on the ball he could play off the ball he’d fit

Alongside LeBron James I I think he’d be great alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis right I I do of course have concerns with the defensive liability especially with the Lakers and the way that they have defended lately but the Lakers need just somebody that can consistently be relied on besides LeBron

James and Anthony Davis and I just think Terry roier would give you more production than what he’d give up uh for his defensive liabilities is my only thing um but if you’re going to go after Terry roier you might as well go after some other pieces right and another guy

That makes a ton of sense would be miles Bridges right so Miles Bridges there are rumors and talks that he is not happy in Charlotte he is very likely not going to uh ride out in Charlotte Beyond this year uh this year he is uh he took his player option A

Qualifying offer and he’s making about 8 million uh 7.9 million to be exact uh and then he’s an unrestricted free agent so he is more likely than not not going to stay with Charlotte so Charlotte would like to get something for him right and there have been talks about him potentially being available

And potentially just wanting to to get a change of scenery again Charlotte isn’t winning anything this year right so it’s not like there’s going to be um this need of like oh we need to keep Bridges CU we’re contending you don’t want to disrupt chemistry or anything like that

Right and this is a guy that again is another 20 point a game scorer now there are concerns about him not being able to play in Canada but couple things about that one um you’re only going to see Canada or well the Raptors you’re only

Going to see the Raptors if you get to the NBA finals and they’re in the NBA finals which I don’t see happening in the foreseeable future and the other thing is just like that one game you play during the regular season well he just doesn’t play that game he gets day

Of rest okay right but this is a guy that has excellent size you know 67 68 could play small forward play power forward um shooting the three ball he’s not really great for from three he did have a year uh in 2020 2021 where he did

Shoot 40% on four and a half attempts per game that would be nice if you could get back to that this year he’s averaging six thre Point attempts and he’s shooting 34% um he is shooting 53 almost 54% from the field in general he’s shooting 84% from the free throw line uh he’s

Averaging 20 almost 21 points seven rebounds three assists 1.2 steals in a block this is a guy that is a legitimate 3 and D forward a guy that can lock down on both sides of the basketball guy that can just go get a bucket for you again

Guys that can be absolute bucket Getters right and Miles Bridges is somebody that I’ve talked so like even if the Lakers did trade for Zack LaVine right like let’s say that they do go for the big home run swing and they do go and let’s say they trade ruy hachimura d’angel

Russell Gabe Vincent and whatever else right I would love if the Lakers went and just went and got miles Bridges because you can get miles again he’s only making you know 8 million 9 million or 8 million 7.9 million right so you could get there right even if the lake

Like if the Lakers don’t trade jayen Hood chafino in a big deal right like jayen hood chaffino and then like Maxwell Lewis or like Max Christie right to give him some young guys as like you know hey we’re not going to give you a first we’ll give

You some young guys for kind of your direction you’re going and then like a couple seconds I mean you’d have to throw in like a salary filler but like if you could figure out a way to just get Bridges I think the Lakers should do

It right if the Lakers can go find a way like no matter what whatever else they do whatever it is that they do if they can just go find a way to get miles Bridges to me that would be an absolute home run cuz miles Bridges I think would

Would thrive in LA with the Lakers um obviously there’s concerns about the offc court issue which is why I don’t think that there would be much competition why I think he’d be a realistic Target but if you could get him and bring him in I think he would be

Huge for the Lakers and just give you another consistent score and just give you an upgrade over cam reddish and Jared Vanderbilt right and that’s something the Lakers could really use um even if not I hope like I would love to see miles bridges in Lakers jersey next

Year right and kind of go like the cam reddish you know Malik monk type route where it’s like hey I need to you know I need to take a flyer I need to kind of Rebrand myself right let me go to the Lakers it’s just a thought but also last

Piece that I’d love to get would be Nick Richards I think Nick Richards makes a ton of sense 26 years old he’s guy averaging 8 and eight this season or 8.8 points and seven point 7.4 rebounds to be exact he’s 7 ft 245 lbs the Lakers need another center right he’s I mean

You again you could get all three of these guys rather reasonably and I mean I I would Richards is another guy I wouldn’t hate if the Lakers just went and traded for right like I wouldn’t hate at all if the Lakers just went and traded for Bridges and Richards Richard’s making five

Million Bridges making eight right could you go take like Gabe Vincent and I don’t like Maxwell Lewis or something and just go get those guys and give up you know like a pig swap or something I wouldn’t hate that at all right give you a nice young Center that you could start

Play in a backup role um Can rebound can defend a bit right just solid consistent goto I mean to me he’d be an upgrade over Jackson Hayes right he’s a guy that again he’s he’s not going to give you any three-point shooting which is fine

Right but he’s a guy that can go just be a lob threat get a little bit of his own offense he’s not like some Elite offensive weapon but again if he could just come to Lakers and play 20 minutes a game and give us like seven points and

Six rebounds that’d be perfect and like right now like I said he’s averaging basically nine points and eight rebounds in 24 minutes right with the Lakers if he let’s say he knocked down his minutes four minutes right cuz Anthony Davis is going to play a bulk you’re probably

Going to play uh Christian Wood a couple minutes at the center position right so if you could do that and Richards plays let’s say like I said 20 minutes and he drops three points and two ass two rebounds then you’d still have a guy that gives you basically six points and six rebounds

That’s perfect that’s all Lakers need and he’s also a guy that can block shots at The Rim he’s averaging 1.3 blocks per game in 24 minutes right just give you another Lop threat if the Lakers could get these three guys to me that would be excellent again I

I I would love if the Lakers like let’s say the Lakers did trade for Zack LaVine if the Lakers traded let’s say just for Zack LaVine and then whon got Bridges and um Richards I I to me that’d be a home run I think that would turn

Around the Lakers a ton but anyway as always this is a discussion so I pass a question on to you let me know your thoughts and opinions down in the comments below what do you think how do you feel do you like the the idea of a

Hornets trade do you like the idea of the Lakers potentially targeting some Hornets players do you think no um is there anyone else on the Hornets that you’d love to have again I’m trying to keep it like within the realm of like guys that I think the Hornets would be

Willing to part with as well as um guys that make sense for Lakers and that would be realistic but again love to hear your thoughts depends however you feel down in the comments below that being said if you haven’t liked this video hit that like button helps me a

Lakers News of a Trade seems to be heavily centered on Zach Lavine of the Chicago Bulls and Dejounte Murray of the Atlanta Hawks. Lakers Nation could have their Trade answers and revamping of the team come from the Charlotte Hornets.
