Lakers & Knicks Trade

[DynastyDeacon]

Los Angeles Lakers trade:
Bradley Beal $30m (2023) ($4m previously paid in 2023)

New York Knicks trade:
Collin Sexton $15.6m (2026)

Knicks accept this trade as we need a SF and hopefully Beal gets his usual SF eligibily. We have the extra cap space this year to make this deal. If Beal plays great he will greatly help our team this year. If not the he will be cheap to extend. Thanks Lakers for the talks.

This was a tough call but decided to go with sexton. I feel he can help me in long run the beal and his still only 23 so ill have him alot longer.

I am very confused here. Can someone explain to me why would make this trade straight up?

Los Angeles Lakers mentioned youth above. I know salary also played a role. $9.4m in savings. Lakers have half a roster to fill and after the Bagley deal only $5m or so to fill out the rest of the roster. An additional $9.4m is huge.

Wall, Beal, Butler, Porzingis, Bagley with McDermott starting at utility and Shake on the bench with $5m to fill out the roster isn't feasible. Thus the trade.

Im not vetoing either way just lost but I guess that all makes sense just cant see his roster as it is until all the deals go through lol.

Oudan not sure but i think u need a calculator when u figure out my budget.
First off i already include my 2 draft picks and i have around 9m plus the trade gives me 5m thats 14m to play plus i trade 1-24 for marvin bagley.

So my lineup looks like this
Pick#4
Pick#6
Marvin bagely
Wall
Butler
Sexton(pending trade)
Porziingis
Milton
D..mcdermit
That is 9 players leaves me 3 left
Also beal make 26m this yr and sexton makes 15.6m so gives 10.4m i have about 9m left so it gives 19.4m in cap
