Everyone in the league is saying Minnesota is showing confidence in being able to clear space and sign DLo. But it seems ridiculously expensive for them to get off Wiggins or Dieng’s deal. Maybe this is the deal instead.
Wolves send Jeff Teague and Josh Okogie
Lakers send Mo Wagner
This uses the Lakers cap space, but with the amount of cap space across the league there’s no way the Lakers are getting a star for 23 million, and I think getting Teague at 19 is better value than Beverly at 15 PLUS this deal gets you Okogie. That’s a whole back court. Plus the Lakers would have a couple million leftover to find another competent guy, and the 4mil exception, then your up to 7 guys before you start going through the minimums. Teague fits well with the team as a guy who’s comfortable as the lead guard and a starter quality spacer. Okogie has elite defense potential and can shoot the 3.

That deal can work for the Lakers. Short term deal of Teague. Once max free agents decide what they want to do then you will have teams like the Knicks, Clippers, Celtics and even possibility the Nets if they have extra cap space then they can take on a Wiggins contract.

Short and sweet
Lakers send Kuzma, Lonzo, and Deng
T-Wolves send Jimmy Butler and Tyus Jones.

If Lebron demands Lonzo must go in order to sign as a Laker, and the reports are true that the Spurs will not take Lonzo, another deal for Lonzo must be found.
Lakers send Lonzo
Memphis sends 2019 if picks 1-8 or, 2020 first rounder unprotected.
Simple straight swap. Grizz want to win anyway for next 2 years, but the Lakers can gamble that they’ll still suck like this year. Basketball wise, Lonzo would fit real well in Memphis, team values great passing and the floor is relatively well spaced, can learn on and off ball with Conley on the court. Fun young core with JJJ.

It wouldn’t work till after the new league year but
Wolves get Deng and Ingram
Lakers get Wiggins.
