I think Lebron is going to become incredibly toxic if they don’t do something. They need to make a move that helps them this year and blunts the sting of Kyrie getting shipped to Dallas.
Jazz should give them an off ramp. . .
Give the Lakers Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson and Kelly Olynyk and offer to take back Russell Westbrook (buyout), two minimum contracts (Troy Brown and Max Christie would be preferable) and two pick swaps - 2023 (Lakers/Pels for Nets/76ers) and 2027 (Lakers for Jazz/Cavs/Wolves - I’m fine with them putting protections on it as well). Solves a lot of problems for both teams - at least in the short term.
Jazz get to improve two of their current assets - possibly significantly - and clear the deck on cap space moving forward. Lakers get three starting caliber players that should help the Lakers significantly for the next two seasons and they don’t give up their premium assets to make it happen.
