After sending away Rondo, many fans hope that the Lakers can continue to operate to send away DeAndre Jordan, and recently "Lake Show Life" wrote an article to put forward three suggestions for the Lakers to send Jordan Jr.
The first one is to send Jordan Jr. to the Dallas Lone Ranger in exchange for Moses Brown. Jordan Jr. was born in Texas and is a native of Houston. Having played for the Lone Rangers before, Jordan Jr. is actually familiar with this team. And the Lone Ranger's Moses Brown, this season's contract, only $500,000 is guaranteed.
This season, Moses Brown averaged 6.7 minutes per game and averaged 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds from the field, shooting 60.5 percent from the field. Many people may think that there is no need for the Lone Ranger to make such a deal, but in fact, Brown's value to the Lone Ranger is minimal.
This season, although the Lone Rangers center position has Willie Cauley Stein and Powell, the addition of Jordan Jr. still brings them some experience. And the Lone Ranger has averaged only 24th in the league in rebounds per game this season, and although the team still has a big Boban, he has only played 95 minutes for the team this season. After Jordan Jr. joins, he can play about 10 minutes per game. Obviously, it's not an impactful deal, but neither side needs to pay much, and the Lone Ranger can at least try and bring in an experienced center to see if it can change the situation.
The second possibility is that the Lakers should try a trade with the equally troubled Hawks in the East, replacing Rouau Cabarot with Jordan Jr. The Hawks made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, and supposedly they should have had a good performance in the regular season this season, but so far this season, they have played a record of 16 wins and 20 losses, and they are currently only 12th in the East, and if the season ends today, they will not even make the playoffs.
Obviously, the Hawks need some changes to build a more cohesive team, and maybe trading Jordan Jr. won't suddenly raise the Hawks' title cap, but that could be a positive addition. The Hawks currently have Capela in the center position, but they still need to continue to reinforce. Rovawu's contract is non-guaranteed, averaging only 12.6 minutes of playing time this season, and his plus-minus of -4.3 does not have much positive impact on the team.
The final plan is for the Lakers to send Nunn, Bazemore, Jordan Jr. and the 2023 second-round pick to trade Lamb. Compared with the first two transactions, such an operation may have a deeper impact on the Lakers. Through such an operation, the Lakers can not only find better helpers for James, but also be able to further streamline the lineup, free up more places, and find some members who are more suitable for the team.
This season, the Pacers' record is not very good, currently 14-23, only ranked 13th in the East, before many media have reported that before the trade deadline, the Pacers may carry out a big sale, and the Lakers are full of interest in Lamb, and this offer is more reasonable for the Pacers, they can also continue to keep Nunn, continue to seek future assets.
