Lakers got 61 to spend. If they stretch Deng they have 72 mil after they announce all free agents and will have 12 mil cap hold with 60 mil left if they want randle but here there keeping him.
Sign James and George 28 each. With 4 left for Noel. Mle on reddick for four years 34 mil. Signn randle to whatever it takes.
Ball
Reddick
George
James
Noel
Kuzma randle Hart and Ingram would be a strong bench.
Or rid randle use the 16 mil on Avery Bradley. Use mle on Evans for years 34 mil. Sign Noel with the other 4.4 exception.
Ball
Bradley
George
James
Noel
With Evans Hart Ingram and kuzma off bench would slaughter golden state. I would like to see Ball handle the rock and see how much king James can score. With shooters like Bradley and George. And a rebounder like Noel. Ball can guard Klay while Bradley chases around Curry. With George putting good d on Durant. James can relax on d guarding green with Noel on there starting center.
So this requires no trades just there willingness to sign with this great situation. That's y there so much speculation with Lakers because they can sign all the players to create a team that would beat golden state. With James and George joining the Lakers with 16 left and mle would be better then the cavs And thunder

Bulls-Lakers
Bulls: Luol Deng and Lonzo Ball
Lakers: Justin Holiday, Kris Dunn and Nikola Mirotic trade exception
Both teams unhappy with their PG's
Lakers get a great on-ball defender, a 3&D wing and unload Deng's contract
Bulls get a younger pg that can make Lauri Markkanen better.

LAL - SAS - MIL
This is based on Spurs not taking Deng's contract or Ball, so Lakers need a third team to make Leonard, George, James happen. Milwaukee can be that team, because of Lebron's buddy Bledsoe.
Lakers get Leonard, Bledsoe
Spurs get Ingram, Kuzma, 25th LAL, Dellavedova (or Henson)
Bucks get Ball, Deng, 47th LAL
Lakers will be at 101 mil after that having Bledsoe, Leonard, George (29mil), James (34mil), Zubac, Hart. So they do it.
Spurs assuming that LAL's best offer would be Ingram, Kuzma, Deng, 25th, here they avoid Deng by taking an overpaid but servicable player from the Bucks.
Bucks take a pg that fits better to Middleton and Giannis. Ball had 7.2 ast, 6.9 reb which they need more than 5.1 ast and 3.9 reb of better scoring Bledsoe. Don't forget that Lonzo is still rookie, so at least he will shoot like Bledsoe in time. Bucks eat 36 Deng's mil, but they also move 20 mil of their own bad salary

I believe the Spurs won't trade Kwahi to the West and definitely not the Lakers. San Antonio should try to send Leonard to the East so that the league can be somewhat competitive. If Lakers really want Leonard they need to give up the following in my opinion:
Lakers - Spurs
Lakers gets:
Leonard
Gasol
Mills
Spurs gets:
Ball
Ingram
Kuzma
25th pick
2020 1st rd pick (Top 5 protected)
Lakers probably won't make this deal because that removes their cap space to sign to max stars.
16 Jun 2018 16:00:14
SAS - LAL - MIL
Spurs get Parker (16mil, s/t with Leonard), Kuzma, Maker, Wilson, 17th MIL
Lakers get Bledsoe, Green, Brogdon
Bucks get Leonard, Ball, Deng
SAS do that because they don't want Leonard in the West and straight to LA. They are getting a similar deal to what Lakers would offer them. It's like replacing Ingram and 25th with Parker, Maker and 17th
LAL still sign King and George. They bring Lebron's buddy and make cap space to sign Leonard in 2019. In that they even keep Bledsoe with MLE (or Brogdon) and of course Ingram as 6th.
MIL gets Leonard without losing Middleton. They hope that in time they convince him stay. At least they enjoy one dream season with Ball, Middleton, Leonard, Antetokoumbo, Dedmon starting 5.

Couple issues. Lakers will not be involved in any Leonard deal unless they are getting him themselves. Second I doubt the Bucks will trade Bledsoe, Parker, Maker, and the 17th pick for a 1 year rental in Leonard. Any team trying to trade for Leonard will need to know if he plans to stay long term. It's too big of a gamble for the Bucks.
Now I do agree with you that the Spurs will probably frown on sending him to the Lakers to form a Super Team. That's of course if Leonard even wants to join a Super Team. He might want to come to Los Angeles thinking its by himself.

LAL
they around 62mil cap space for 2018-19
since everyone is saying no one is taking Deng's contract (okay..)
stretch Luol Deng will have cap hit of 7.4mil/yr, LAL will gain additional 11mil cap so total of 73mil
sign Paul George to max (4yr/120mil)
sign LeBron James (2yr/70mil w/ P.O)
trade:
LAL-CHA-ATL
LAL- K.Walker, 2nd from ATL
CHA- L.Ball, K.Kuzma
ATL- M.Kidd-Gilchrist, 25th pick
no one think that Kawhi thing could work so LA's 3rd star will be Kemba Walker who is a clutch guy too
LA resign Brook Lopez & Channing Frye
resign KCP to smaller contract
they will be over the cap after those moves
PG- Walker,Ennis (LeBron)
SG- Ingram,Hart
SF- George,Caldwell-Pope
PF- James,Frye
CE- Lopez,Zubac,Bryant
