Lakers keep the pick and draft Ball.

Trade:
Lakers get: Brook Lopez

Nets get: 28th overall Pick, Clarkson, and Mozgof

Starting Lineup:
PG: Ball
SG: Russell
SF: Ingram
PF: Randle
C: Lopez

Not much but it's a start in the right direction and gives more cap flexibility for next season

I agree with this because Magic wants to spend in 2018:
Paul George and Cousins.
Lopez is a free agent next season and Lakers unload Mozgov's contract, however I would try to keep JC. For Lopez, Lakers can offer the 28th pick, Brewer, and Moz.

Next season Lakers sign George and Cousins

Lonzo
Russell
Ingram
George
Cousins.

I would love to keep Clarkson but I doubt a late first round pick is enough to get Brooklyn to give away their only decent player in Lopez and take a bad contract. Everything else you said about Cousins and George is spot on though if they're both willing to come.

Lakers aren't giving up Clarkson in a Lopez deal. He doesn't have much trade value. You will be shocked this summer with the final offer the Nets receive for Lopez.

They only wanted two 1 round draft picks they can get from is only the 28 pick and next year 2 round pick.
