Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I fail to see how that's a problem if we are tanking.
We won't want his BS hanging around the young guys and a new coach. He'd be bought out. I honestly fail to see where he would land at this point. Russ is about to get a huge wake up call.

I just meant the problem with Russ being hard to deal with. I couldn't care less about his fit or lack thereof on any given team.
 
I think Conley+Beverley+Bogdanovic is what we would send out for Westbrook+THT. Alternatively, you could send out Clarkson+Gay instead. It's important to watch the LAL future cap space, I doubt they want to burn that up. But either of these combinations preserves LeBron+Max cap space next summer I believe.

If the RWB trade can't get done, I think Bev, Bogey, or Clarkson for THT and a first is very real.

I really want LA's first round picks, but it also makes me feel a little dirty helping them out. Adding Conley, Beverly, and Bogey to Lebron and AD would be as good as they could hope for in my opinion.

Conley/Bogey for Westbrook + 2 1sts seems like the cleanest and most logical trade.

I think we can also easily save them 5-10M this year which will help their tax bill... it matters a lot to them as a family owned biz and not a billionaire owned biz.

I think it may end up being like 27 pick unprotected and 29 top 5 or like 28 pick unprotected and swaps in 27/29. Likely some very mild protections in there. Can't see them letting this Westbrook BS eff up another season with Lebron and getting 3 or 4 high level rotation pieces that fit would be really helpful.
 
Bogey is the very best/realistic option the Lakers have to really pair perfectly with Bron and AD.

If they added Bev with Bogey and subtracted Russ, the Lakers would be relevant again.
 
Conley/Bogey for Westbrook + 2 1sts seems like the cleanest and most logical trade.

Conley takes away $24M of their future cap space, which is super valuable to them. Might take them out of a max spot, but I haven't done the math. I think adding in THT-Beverley makes it more tolerable because they get another good player and offset some of Conley's future salary by getting rid of THT. THT is the right type of player for us to take a chance on anyways.

Clarkson, Bogey, Beverley for RWB and THT cuts off $11.4 M this season and barely adds any future salary. It's a really desirable package for LAL, but you have to make them pay for it. I do think you could potentially get a first for all three of the guys we're sending out if you were willing to wait till the deadline.
