Bleacher Report did just with what a breathtakingly large five-team deal that ultimately results in the Los Angeles Lakers landing Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Eric Pincus\u00a0cooked up a monstrosity featuring the Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, and Brooklyn Nets. The haul from this one was so long for the Bucks, in particular, that it could not properly fit in the trade embed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">This one will need to be handled differently as a result. Each team&#8217;s haul will be featured in their individual section to follow.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Mavericks boost win-now window with LeBron James<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The Mavericks are one of the few teams for whom a\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0trade would actually make a good deal of sense.\u00a0The biggest obstacle\u00a0for Dallas would be James&#8217; salary. Pincus made it work.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It will materialize more so as the article goes along, but the Mavericks essentially unloaded their depth to match up for James&#8217; price tag in 2025-26. That could be a controversial decision, but Dallas were not left without potential role players altogether after the deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This five-team trade would be a wild way to get Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Los Angeles Lakers.
