OKC LAL salary works espn trade machine LAL +2 wins, OKC -4 wins
OKC get Green, Bradley, Kuzma
LAL get Gallinari, Ferguson
OKC get Kuzma for the future to pair with SGA, and they can move Green, and Bradley if he accepts player opt. Next year or in the off season. They also get under the taxes this year.
LAL get a consistent 3rd option for offense. They need more consistent players. And Ferguson is a good young player. He can hit the catch and shoot 3 and is great at 1 on 1 defense. He has had to guard George twice and if u go back and look at George's stats both times Ferguson did very good at stopping him. Which could b very handy for LAL in playoffs.
LeBron, Ferguson or KCP, Gallinari, Davis, Mcgee that is a good solid starting 5. Better than what they have now.

OKC LAL if Howard isn't doing well.
OKC get Howard and Kuzma
LAL get Noel, Muscala, 2020 DEN 1st and 2023 MIA 1st
Noel does have a no trade clause but i'm sure he would accept a trade to a winning team that he would prob get more minutes on vs coming off the bench behind Adams getting 14 min on a losing team.
OKC downgrade their back up C swap Noel for Howard. Noel is younger, played better, and stayed healthier than Howard last year. They bring in Kuzma to pair with SGA as future building blocks. They give up 2 1sts because Kuzma is still on a cheap rookie deal and has good potential. He is also locked up the longest contract wise out of the players involved.
LAL upgrade their C situation if Howard isn't working out which i doubt he does. have Mcgee and Noel at C. They get Muscala to be back up PF he can knock down the 3 which LAL need good catch and shoot shooters. They get a 1st or 2 out of it which they could use some more 1sts after the Davis trade.

Kyle Kuzma has much higher value that what your wanting the OKC Thunder to give up. Also if Howard doesn't work out then the Lakers waive him.

If Lakers miss out on Davis and big FA so they have cap space. And draft a wing at #4
Lakers Thunder
Thunder get Wagner, Hart
Lakers get Adams
Thunder get Salary Relief and a young guard with potential in Hart.
Lakers give Lebron a good defensive big that can guard the wing and the paint similar to Thompson when he was actually playing good and they won the championship. And Adams has been top 3 in offensive rebounding over the past 3 years. And he can be more dominating on the offensive end with more touches. He has the 4th best career FG% in NBA History just 1 reason to let him take more shots.

OKC LAL
OKC get #4 pick Lonzo and Kuzma
LAL get Westbrook
LAL fell out of top 3 and are desperate to win now unless they trade Lebron and continue the rebuild. With NOP getting #1 pick i don't see them accepting any Lakers offers for Davis. And FA don't wamt to come play woth Lebron so all that leaves is trades and Westbroom could be on the market.
OKC needs change this gives them a high pick plus their pick and Lonzo and Kuzma who they could keep or later move for something else the main reason for this trade would be the #4 pick and the salary relief moving Westbrook gives them.

I know this wouldn't happen but how crazy of a thought or far off is it?
LAL get Westbrook
OKC get James
OKC needs a change and needs to move on from Russ likely won't happen though. I know James is on the decline but you make George the main guy take a lil bit off of james who clearly can't be the main guy anymore just doesn't have the energy. and george and or Roberson if he comes back healthy and back to his old self can hide James on the defensive end taking the teams top or top 2 offensive players.
LAL aren't a huge FA destination right now no one wants to play with James. I know a lot of players might not want to play with Russ but for the Lakers organization it wouldn't be as embarrasing if you couldn't build a winner around James vs not building one around Russ. And no longer having james will take a lil bif of preassure off of them. They could make trades and free agent signings and put a bunch of shooters around Russ which in OKC is something he has never really had, and see how that works for them.
Im not saying this is a great idea but it could help in some aspects and it could help both teams. will they get a better offer for James he is clearly on the decline and has a huge contract i know he is still a great player but he isn't the same James he used to be? Let me know what u think.

I wouldn't even think about that deal. Lebron is better than Russell
Westbrook. Lakers have Lonzo Ball already so the Lakers would have to trade Ball. We will see who the Lakers come up with. The answer may surprise all of us. One day everybody is coming, next day nobody is, then the next day a certain player is coming. I just can't wait to July 1st to come and go. Surround Lebron James with shooters and you have a problem solved.
