I will be voting to void this trade on the basis that the Magic GM's leaving and 2 of 3 top guys on the team (Vucevic and Gordon) were involved in the trade. The new GM may want to strategize differently with them or follow along with previous GM, we're not sure yet. Though, I think the trade itself is solid and that @Interpaga should re-send the offer to the new Magic GM.

Lakers are open to ideas for Spencer Dinwiddle but do not have plans to move him. He'll be replacing Russell Westbrook in Washington so I'd expect him to put up numbers similar to that of his 2019-20 season (around 20/7/4)

I agree to this trade. If I were to not be making this trade, I wouldn't have been able to extend AD's contract due to having only $28m in cap space (his contract would be $30m/year) and would be losing him either way.
This trade helps me solidify on my team depth with added reinforcements in all positions. If healthy, John Wall can still put up very decent numbers. I see some good upsides with Daniel Gafford and Doug McDermott's contributions to their team depths. Gafford, if given 36 minutes per game (he has an above average PER of 22.26), Gafford averaged 20.6 points, 11.3 boards, 3.6 blocks, 1.1 steals. In his longest run at 27 minutes so far back in April, Gafford's performance included 4 blocks and 4 steals. Time will tell how these good projected numbers translate into real production when Gafford gets a bigger role and I'm willing to be patient with him on this for some time.
Sorry for some initial confusion but hopefully this 3-way is better on the Lakers end and good all-around. Thanks to Vik and Brian for the trade.

Thanks for your input, guys - I must have calculated it wrong after adding in Theis. I will re-negotiate with Vik Thursday afternoon and do plan on keeping Kyle Kuzma.

Lakers move -
Kyrie Irving $30m (2023) (team can pay $25m for 2021-22 season, $15m for 2022-23 season)
Taureen Prince $14.5m (2022) (team can pay for the full contract)
2021 NBA Draft #9 pick
2022 Lakers 2nd rounder
Jazz move -
John Wall $0m (2022) $13m (2025)
Bojan Bogdanovic $18.7m (2023)
Will Barton $10m (2025)
Daniel Gafford $0.9m (2022) $1.8m (2023)
Daniel Theis (contract extension)
John Wall is injury prone but I'm willing to take the risk and the upsides prevail. Bogdanovic, Barton, Gafford, and Theis will provide some solid depth (despite overpriced contracts) as the Lakers look to go all out in the next few seasons. Kyrie Irving is obviously one of the best point guards in the NBA right now but keeping him and re-signing AD at $30m takes up over half of the cap space for at least the next 2 years. That leaves me with having little depth for some time.
I believe Vik would like to use his team extension on Theis which I think is $8m per year. Also with the #9 pick, Vik has decided to draft Alperen Sengun. Thanks for the negotiations, Vik. Jazz to confirm.

The Lakers are officially putting Kyrie Irving OTB and would like to move him *at the right price* by the start of the upcoming season. If you're interested, feel free to PM and we can discuss. Thanks.
