1. Trading for PG 13 is probably your best idea here. but even of that, let me tell you why that isn't necessary.
He's a free agent one year after, and it's already possible he can get traded elsewhere for better. Magic and Pelinka know PG13 wants to come to LA and they got the money to throw at him. Keep in mind that if Pg 13 makes all nba, he can sign for a mega extension for like.220 million or something like that. so that's a good enough reason to stay with Indiana - who are in the playoffs, and have a decent team.
2.Chances that Wall leaves Wizards are slim. they were in the race for the best record in the East, and the team has growing talent around them. Beal still growing, Otto Porter Jr even more so. Plus Wizards can offer him the most money to resign.
3. Dante Exum? You kidding me? The dudes on the bench in the playoffs. He's injury prone. He's shown nothing. I had high hopes, but so far, he's looking like a volatile pick up for the Jazz. D Angelo is a great scorer, and he has the star like qualities to carry him to great lengths. I question his focus on the game itself and if he really believes the words that come outta his mouth about how he wants to work on defense and all that. But he's an asset to any team, and Lakers should not give him up for now. Let them all grow.
4. Give Luke 2 more years. to go BACK to Phil Jackson? Knicks don't want him right now. Porzingis went on a team strike against the triangle offense. NY doesn't want him. Carmelo certainly hates him, but Carmelo is done. He's like an Antwan Jamison.
Give Luke a solid 4-5 years let him grow his players and sign players on the way. Lakers is too great of a franchise, great of a city for any player to not consider even the slightest.
