Lake Media lists three deals to recast defense: 3 for 1 Kessler, Abiao for Isaac, 2 for 3 Holiday

On May 26, US media FW reporter Eddie Bitar analyzed the untradable and tradable assets of various NBA teams. Laker Tom, the Lakers media, got some insights from it. He found three trades for the Lakers to reorganize defense.

Two days ago, NBA reporter Brett Siege revealed that the Boston Celtics did not intend to send Jaylen Brown and Derek White away in the offseason. But Holiday, Porzingis, and Prichard did not say that they could not be traded.

Laker Tom wrote a very long tweet to explain why, Jazz's Kessler, Magic's Isaac, and Celtics' Holiday are suitable for the Lakers.

He wrote that Eddie Bitar has done a great job, he listed the NBA's tradable assets and untouchable assets. Trading assets depend on the transaction returns. Players who can be traded immediately should be interested in some, because the Lakers need some people to assist Doncic and LeBron, especially to improve their defense.

defensive elites can play a role in the playoffs, and the Lakers should also build a defensive team for Doncic and LeBron. If it were me, I would trade like this:

Reeves, 2027 first round unprotected in 2031, and 2 unprotected in 2031;

Hachimura Leaf + Vincent exchanged for Holiday + 2 second round picks from the Celtics;

Vanderbilt sent the Magic for Jonathan Isaac.

In this way, the Lakers can build a championship team, which will definitely be a perfect start for the offseason.

James was selected for the 21st All-Squad at the age of 40. If this Lakers want to help LeBron score the championship again, improving defense is indeed the top priority in the offseason. After all, Doncic is not good at defense.
