I’m not saying that these trades happen, but I just think they make sense for the teams involved:

Boston & New Orleans 

Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown & Sacramento 2019 pick for Anthony Davis.

Boston: They have so much talent and even though they give up Irving I think Rozier fits better with the scorers they have on their roster. Anthony Davis automatically puts them up with the Warriors in my opinion as he adds more dynamic. C. Horford PF. Davis SF. Tatum SG. Hayward PG. Rozier 

New Orleans: They just don’t seem to be able to attract the necessary to help Davis truly be on a contender. They get Irving to put next to Holiday which still makes them are really competitive back-court tandem. They finally get a wing scorer in Brown and a very sound starting C in Randle who can do it all. If Irving leaves then at least you save $20mil and that Sac-Town pick is likely a top-5 pick as well. Brown, Randle and likely 2 lottery picks is a nice place to start rebuild. C. Randle PF. Mirotic SF. Brown SG. Holiday PG. Irving

Lakers & Portland

Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart, Loul Deng (contract) & 2019 pick for Damian Lillard.

Lakers: I know they have Ball, but Lillard is more than capable of playing SG offensively while Ball matches up with the opposing 2-guard defensively. Ball is a facilitator first and foremost with Lillard being a volume scorer I like the fit.  Gives Lebron a scoring PG who we have all seen he likes playing next to and generally means winning. C. McGee PF. James SF. Ingram SG. Lillard PG. Ball 

Portland: Thry may struggle yo make the playoffs thus year, so getting some young talent would be a good idea. The Deng contract isn’t what they want, but it’s only one more year and Kuzma looks like a legit 20ppg scorer in the league and potential All-Star, Hat had an outstanding Summer League and could really become a nice 3&D wing for a longtime. CJ is more than capable of moving to the PG spot fulltime as well. C. Nurkic PF. Kuzma SF. Harkless SG. Hart PG. CJ

 Good try but:

– Kyrie would be a rental – Pels say no

– Portland fans would riot cashing in their best player and all NBA 1st team PG for that return – Blazers say no. Lakers would probably even say no making them take either Dame or Zo off the ball

  Both trades terrible!

 

Why would NO give up Davis for Kyrie when he’ll only be a rental???

 

Portland would want more then that for Dame, he’s a proven All-Star. And this trade will set them back for a decade.
