Sonics/Lakers Trade

[WizKidFromSpace]

Sonics receive:

Lakers 2022 1st round pick
Nickeil Alexander-Walker $2.1m 2022-23 ($1.0m paid this season only)

Lakers receive:

Lauri Markkanen $5.5m 2020-21

Helping Sonics get under the cap limit for this season and hopefully acquiring a cheap win-now piece in the process. Lauri can hopefully be a solid contributor playing IRL with his reputation on the line, and he isn't the worst asset for me entering RFA next offseason. He fits my window and limited remaining cap space, so losing a future 1st and past 1st (NAW) feels like a reasonable pay.

Sonics agree

This deal gives us a future 1st we can use or flip for something else. This deal FINALLY gets me under the cap and the player the Sonics are getting can help out as well.

  great deal for both here.

Due to cap reasons will process tomorrow either way.
