What I want to see:
McGee opt out
Avery Bradley opts in
Resign AD, Rondo, KCP, Dwight, Markieff

I love Kuz but I don't think he fits in with this team. And as great as CP3 still is, I'm not gutting half my team to take on a 35yr old that gets paid more than LeBron and AD. Lakers better off trading for a 3rd option like Buddy Hield who is a great shooter and can create own shot.

Lakers trade: Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green, #28

Kings trade: Buddy Hield

Luke Walton gets a familiar face with Kuz and the Kings get a young wing to replace Bogdan who will most likely walk, a first rounder, and a veteran in DG who's only on a one year.

Lakers sign Danilo Gallinari to Mid exception.
Lakers sign DeMarcus Cousins to Vets min.

Lakers roster
PG: Rondo/Caruso/Cook
SG: Hield/KCP/AB/THT
SF: LeBron/Gallo
PF: AD, Markieff, Cacok
C: Dwight, Cousins, Kostas

CP3 too expensive, I don't think Rose would fit as well as many expect, Beal/Lavine/Booker aren't realistic. Oladipo may be an option but I think Hield would fit best.
Jerami Grant is probably going to get paid and Gallo has came out and said he will prioritize winning over money. I think Dragic is resigning with Heat.
I think a roster built close to this gives a good chance of repeating. I'm no GM, just what I'd like to see but I trust Rob.

I also think Hield and Gallo fill the lakers only need which is shooting. Also decent upgrades over green and kuz.

Chris Paul lead multiple teams to the playoffs. With him as the leader his team almost defeated the Houston Rockets in the first round. Chris Paul is a better player than Buddy Hield. Yes Chris Paul has a big contract which is noted by many Lakers fans however it will be irrelevant if the Lakers get far in the playoffs again and even win it all. Lebron will probably opt into his contract the following year so the Lakers would be with Lebron, AD, and CP3. Players will sign for the vet min to come play with those 3. Rumor has it that Carmelo Anthony would join if CP3 is traded. I know people are saying wait until next offseason and sign someone else. They could do that but after last offseason with Kawhi situation I will highly doubt a 3rd Superstar level player will be coming via free agency.

Chris Paul is definitely a way better player than Hield. If it wasn’t for Paul’s contract, I’d be 110% on board. But it just seems impossible. You’d have to give up so many players that already helped us win a championship. Caruso, Bradley, Kuz, DG, Mcgee, etc. that's already a whole 5man unit and maybe more. Though, if we do land Paul, I’ll be wide open arms and ready for to repeat. It’s only fitting after what happened in 2011.
