I can agree with this. I just don't think we should make locking NY into four more years of Randle a top priority (I don't think we have the ability to do that, to be honest). And I don't think somehow getting the odds stacked against Randle moving on from the Knicks (even as nice as it would be) should be regarded as a deal-breaker.

I get all this. My thinking was to facilitate things so that we'd be the ones that benefited from the Lakers 1st rounders. There's a scenario where we do the two team trade for Donovan, and then NYK does a 2nd trade to deal Randle to LAL for Westbrook (obviously other pieces would be included), and NYK gets a 1st rounder from LAL. But I definitely agree with the sentiment that Randle staying on NYK is good for us if we have their picks.

Do we have a player combination that could get us to a 4 year 17.5 million dollar per year deal for Sexton? Getting him for 2 years would be a waste of our time because if he gets value, he'd be an expiring the next year. The new "moneyball" won't be advanced stats but getting great players (preferably young) on great and long contracts. Those guys are worth more than draft picks IMO. 17-20 million for Sexton when the salary cap is going to explode is a pretty great investment.
Pat Bev + NAW gets us to 18 million. Cleveland would actually have a use for Pat Bev. It also pushes them out of the tank which is good for us too.

The Cavaliers were one of the worst 3P shooting teams in the league last year and don't have a ton of size on the wing. I think the two packages that'd make the most sense would be either Beasley/Gay or Bojan for Sexton.

I wonder what the chances are that he just plays next season on the qualifying offer ($8.5M) and then tries his luck in RFA next offseason. As it stands there aren't any teams that can really give him a big offer sheet and there seem to be only a couple of teams (Utah, Miami) that are interested in a potential S&T for him. But both teams interest in him is dependent on if they make other trades.

That's the point. If LA want to win before the end of LB/AD era, that's something they should consider. With those player and if AD is healthy, they will be very good.

I don't really see many scenarios where the Lakers add any sizeable financial commitments beyond this year with LeBron set to hit free agency. I'd imagine that they save their cap space to try and lure a third star to convince LBJ to come back and that he'll sign something like a 1+1 deal next year so he can potentially opt out to sign with a team if they draft his son.

I doubt the Celtics do it but it's tempting. Gives us 2 complimentary key players. Most of those picks are the lesser of our pick assets and Boston would know it.
My guess is that they would want Bogdonovic, JC, Beverley, Beasley, Jared Butler + the best picks we have.

The Celtics would never do that. They're a championship level team right now, not a re-building team looking for 1st round picks.
It would have to be a 3rd team involved since Celtics dont want to take a step back like this right now. But this is possible.
For the Jazz if we had an ounce of commitment from Mitchell and Brown I would be interested. I dont think we do from either though. I also think thats a little too much to give based on his contract situation.
