I got it, finally figured out the beginning of a Lebron trade. According to Espn NBA Trade Machine it works if Lebron will waive his no trade clause, otherwise legal and what draft picks or add-ons to the deal one can only imagine BUT, legal, nonetheless.
Milwaukee gets:
Anthony Davis from Dal
Dallas gets:
Lebron and Bronny from Lak
Lakers get: Giannis from Mil
Giannis goes to where he wants
Lebron stays with Jr and can play with Flagg and mentor him and Davis gives Mil a much better return than say ....what they got from the Lakers for Kareem back in the day....
I leave you all to add in draft picks, swaps and other contracts to really "fair" this thing up!

Giannis to the Lakers could happen during the summer not during the season. Lakers have one 1 FRP and 1 pick swap now and in the summer they would have 2 FRPs and 2 pick swaps. The pick swaps would probably be convey to second rounders cause the Lakers will be better than the Bucks in the future. Also factor in the Lakers priority is to resign Austin Reaves this summer.

LA Giannis, Portis, Love, Prince, Harris, Paul, Alex, Thanasis

Lakers-Wizards
Lakers acquire: CJ McCollum & Justin Champagnie
Wizards acquire: Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber, Dalton Knecht & 1st round pick + 2nd round pick
Lakers are dead last in bench points, they can invest a 1st round pick to get one consistent scorer. McCollum could be a great sixth man for a contending team. Champagnie can score too
PG Doncic, Smart, James Jr
SG Reaves, McCollum
SF James, Laravia, Champagnie

To Lakers:
fr/ Utah: Markkanen and Filipowski
fr/ Boston: Pritchard and a protected FRP or 2 SRPs

The likelihood of Lebron being traded is zero. He has a no trade clause in his contract and even if he were to exercise it he would probably exercise it to go to the Cavaliers or Mavericks. Which neither can happen anyway cause both are over the second apron and would need to dump salaries to make a trade work. Lebron will finish the season as a Laker and most likely his career as well as a Laker. Lebron in a Celtics uniform? Yeah that's not happening.
Just so you know Danny Ainge/ Utah Jazz are looking for a deal of 4 first round picks for Markkanen which isn't happening with the Lakers. Lakers have 1 pick and a swap. Not enough to get Markkanen.
17 Nov 2025 07:26:49
Memphis-LA Lakers
Memphis: Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht, Adou Thiero, 2 1st round picks
LA Lakers: Jaren Jackson Jr
Lakers getting a defensive big with shooting would be great. This isn't the best Memphis could get for Jackson though, I know.
Doncic, Smart, Bronny
Reaves, Smith Jr
James, Laravia
Jackson Jr, Vanderbilt
Ayton, Hayes
20 Nov 2025 18:41:35
the way i see it Hachimura and Vincent are worth a first, Dalton a first and Thiero a first and then two more firsts. Jx3 is not worth 5 first round picks. He's good, he's not THAT good!
21 Nov 2025 17:58:24
Jackson Jr. is having a down year. With the amount of money he is owed the next 3 seasons I would take a pass. Lakers are going to resign Austin Reaves and with Doncic, Reaves and potentially Lebron if he resigns the Lakers will have no cap flexibility to sign other free agents. Remember Doncic, Reaves and Jackson Jr. by themselves will be close to first apron by themselves together.
23 Nov 2025 21:50:24
I say use Lebron as trade bait to get someone incredible at PF like Markkanen or a P Siakam type. I have a three team trade I proposed that I am hoping will make the cut and be displayed. Let me know what you think if they do?

Lakers - Pelicans
Lakers get Zion Williamson
Pelicans get Adou Thiero, Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent, Rui Hachimura & 2 1st round picks
Just here throwing some punches in NOLA's gut
11 Nov 2025 16:07:25
Lakers only have 1 eligible first round pick which can be traded. Honestly I would probably take a pass on Williamson. Even though he is an allstar player he has an issue of constantly being injured and missing a bunch of time. In addition he takes up $42M + $44M in cap space the next two season which would limit the Lakers flexibility on moves.

11 Nov 2025 16:01:11
Terry Rozier is on unpaid leave and is not eligible to be traded. Lakers wouldn't include draft compensation for Wiggins. In fact if I were the Lakers I would demand draft compensation coming back to the Lakers if Knecht were included in a deal like this.

The price for Reeves will be much higher than that if he were to be traded. Try multiple first round picks and an allstar caliber player in return. Say if a player like Trae Young or Giannis were to become available now the Lakers are listening. Keep in mind the Lakers & Reeves are waiting til next summer to extend him. This is all planned. He was eligible for a 4 year deal this summer but elected to wait for a 5 year deal next summer.
