Laker fan, I'll start it off...
We have a problem: if we start LeBron at the 3 so AD can play the floor, LeBron won't make it past 55 games. That's the problem we face cause we surely don't want AD at the 5. No matter how we look at it, it's in our best interest to get rid of one.

Even though this year 20, LBJ brings more to the table than AD does. I can't think of no player that AD has made better. But if we get rid of him, we would have to address the 2, 3, and the 5.

I like this:

Boston receives: Anthony Davis
Gives up White, Brown and a 1st

Utah receives: Derrick White, Reaves and 1st from Lakers

Pacers receive: Russell Westbrook, 1st and a 2nd from Lakers, and a 1st from Boston

Lakers receive: Jalen Brown, Jordan Clarkson, B. Bogdanovic, Myles Turner, and Buddy Hield

PG-Beverly/Nunn
SG-Hield/Clarkson/Christie
SF-Brown/Walker/JTA
PF-James/Bogdanovic
C-Turner/Bryant/Jones

Non-bias: Every team got better. Boston becomes a defensive anchor while preserving their bigs.

Jazz get a 1st and a 1st round talent in Reaves and also a role player while getting rid of that last year of Clarkson contract

Pacers get off Hield contract while freeing up time for Duarte and that promising young backcourt. Russ wouldn't be a 6th man option either. Add the picks

Thoughts?

The problem you are tell us is not new about Lebron James however the Lakers aren't trading Anthony Davis. So you think cause Lebron isn't going to play 55 games that the Lakers should go into rebuild mode? Not happening.

Lakers...I know it's easy to focus on trading Russ but here are your returning pieces:

Nunn/Westbrook
Monk/Christie
THT/Reaves
LBJ/
AD

See what O'Neal and Pippen do in summer league...

I focus more on getting shooting and defenders than an unpredictable Irving.

Not sure how the rules work but can LBJ and Russ opt out to open a max slot and take less money and return? You throw a Zach Lavine and possibly a Mitchell Robinson, you're adding the right side of youth and experience.

Not sure if that can happen but a lineup of

Nunn/Westbrook
Monk/Reaves/Christie
Lavine/THT
LBJ/???
AD/Robinson

That would be ALOT Better than last year.

As far as the opt out Lebron has no opt out. He has an expiring contract. Westbrook had an opt out but he opted in today at $47M. Westbrook is not in the Lakers long term plans so him opting out would make no sense cause no team is going to pay him anything close to that. Lavine to the Lakers is Out. Not happening. He will sign with Bulls at 5 years $250M max money. Robinson will have to take less with the Lakers so I don't see him coming either. There is talk about Monk accepting a $6M mid level so we will see but he will have teams interested. Lakers need to wait til next off season to have cap space.
