Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Kyrie Irving

Chicago Bulls Receive: G Seth Curry, C Jakob Poeltl, G Josh Richardson, F Doug McDermott, 2028 First-Round Pick Swap (LAL)

Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Lonzo Ball, C Nikola Vucevic

San Antonio Spurs Receive: G Russell Westbrook, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL)

Brace yourself. This is a wild one. It would involve four teams with the Los Angeles Lakers landing Kyrie Irving while the San Antonio Spurs take on Russell Westbrook’s contract. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls send out a few talents to the Brooklyn Nets.

If the Nets face a situation where they seek to contend with Kevin Durant after moving Irving, this is a solid deal that would feature them adding intriguing complementary pieces to do so. Even if they were to move Durant, this deal helps them build around Ben Simmons.

Lonzo Ball, if he were to be healthy, could fill the starting point guard role and add intriguing size to the Nets’ lineup overall. His catch-and-shoot ability and overall playmaking would make for a solid pairing with Simmons. Nikola Vucevic would bring a needed stretch-five impact, too.

The Chicago Bulls would be punting on trusting Ball to stay healthy after his latest injury rehab took much longer than originally anticipated. They’d also move on from Vucevic as he enters the final year of his current contract. In exchange, they’d add a platoon of new role players.
