The Lakers seem to be killing it in this trade. Dump the most toxic contract in the NBA and replace it with RJ, Bogey, and Cam? I mean, I know they are giving up 2 future unprotected picks, but if I remember correctly, we gave that and more up for Conley alone and we were not allowed to dump a toxic contract during that transaction.
Bumping this because it’s relevant.

This would be patently absurd and I'm here for it.
Yeah, it’s a terrible trade idea. Any idea with RJ being involved but going to the Lakers is not happening.
Mitchell + Gay for Barrett/Fournier/Grimes works too. It also works if you swap Quickley and Grimes as well.
Mitchell + NAW for Barrett/Rose/Toppin also works. It works if you swap Toppin and Reddish too.

I think Barrett complicates what sounds to be the plan taking shape to sign Kyrie (the extension makes sure of that), but if that isn't the most important thing to them then this is a pretty fire deal for the Lakers.
Jazz should probably send another player and receive a swap and 2nds from the Lakers in that deal, which I could sign off on.
Get a swap as well and some 2nds and I'm good. Happy to send another player too.
Really the only thing that I hate about is the chance that RJ is a real building block that helps float the Lakers through their impending rebuild.
I probably don't do the deal but I've been thinking about something like it.

How about this one? We get 6! unprotected firsts and Grimes and Toppin. Lakers get a young star in Barrett plus 2 players that are ideal for a Lebron team, and the Knicks get their superstar and a legit rotation piece.
The Knicks aren’t going to give up Barrett/Grimes/Toppin/Reddish AND 4 unprotected 1sts. Please stop doing trade ideas with RJ going to the Lakers as well. This is terrible stuff man.

Curious as to why RJ to the Lakers is such a no-go.
If we’re being serious about a potential three-way trade with the Knicks and Lakers it looks more like this:
We send out Donovan and Gay to the Knicks, Bogey and Beasley to the Lakers.
We take back RJ, Fournier, 3 unprotected 1sts, 2 protected 1sts from the Knicks and Westbrook plus two unprotected 1sts from the Lakers.
The Knicks take back Donovan and Gay.
The Lakers take back Bogey, Beasley and Reddish.
We end up with RJ, Fournier and Westbrook plus 5 unprotected 1sts and 2 protected 1sts.
