Latest @BleacherReport 3-Team NBA Trade Idea: How Los Angeles Lakers Can Salvage 2024-25 Season – I’d see a stalemate til the deadline on # of 1sts, but I would lean towards LAL conceding. Note: depth sometimes > than a “name” playerhttps://t.co/nfV3X49yno

Lakers get:
-Dennis Schröder (from Nets)
-Dorian Finney-Smith (from Nets)
-Day’Ron Sharpe (from Nets)
-Shake Milton (from Nets)
-Wendell Moore Jr. (from Pistons)
Nets get:
-D’Angelo Russell (from Lakers)
-Gabe Vincent (from Lakers)
-Jalen Hood-Schifino (from Lakers)
-2029 first-round pick (top-5 protected, else a 2030 second-rounder; from Lakers)
-2031 first-round pick (top-5 protected, else a 2031 second-rounder; from Lakers)
-$4 million trade exception (Day’Ron Sharpe)
-$2.9 million trade exception (Shake Milton)
Pistons get:
-Christian Wood (from Lakers)
-Maxwell Lewis (from Lakers)
-Rights to Vanja Marinković (from Nets)
-$3 million (from Lakers)
Note: The Nets could choose to use the $23 million Mikal Bridges trade exception (expiring 7/7/25), which would lead to a $14.9 million trade exception for Finney-Smith instead (expiring a year after the trade with the Lakers and Pistons). If Brooklyn goes under the salary cap this summer, they would renounce their existing trade exceptions.
Marinković, 27, plays overseas for KK Partizan in Belgrade, Serbia.
