Trade Clarkson, Randle, Moz and a 2020 first rounder (the first we can trade as 2018 now goes to Philly), to Sac for Tolliver, Afflalo, Galloway, WCS and their 2nd rounder this year (#34). Good trade for Sac, they get 2 young rotation guys who they control contract wise (for a team that has trouble attracting FA's). They have plenty of cap (and little options to use it) to take Moz, plus a future first for a team on a rebuild. The only pain is WCS, but they have Papagiannis who needs PT, and Skal is a guy who could get minutes at both 4 and 5, and I figure they place higher value on Skal than WCS with his offensive potential. With Randle/Papa/Skal/Moz they can use their picks on perimeter guys. Moz allows them to trade Koufos who would likely net them another first rounder for their rebuild.
For the Lakers, we can buy out Afflalo and Tolliver who are only partially guaranteed. Galloway is an expiring. Move Deng to the 4, and draft replacements for Randle/JC. I like Ojeleye and Hart. We could sign a PG like Collison, and draft Ball.
We'd be about 30 mil under the cap, and I would sell that cap space for picks and expiring deals. Should be able to replace the lost 2018 pick and maybe more. (IIRC, Utah netted 2 firsts from the W's in the Biedrins/Jefferson cap absorb).
2017
PG- Collison/Ball
SG- DLO/Galloway/Hart
SF- Ingram/Brewer
PF- Deng/Nance/Ojeleye
C- WCS/Zub/Black
In 2018, we could trade the 1st we got in the cap absorb, along with Deng, to a team to absorb the deal (teams like Sac, Brooklyn would be good candidates). Hopefully moving Deng to the 4 gets his value back up some, and with just 2 years left on his deal he would be movable if we include a pick.
We'd then have:
Ball, Collison, DLO, Hart, Ingram, Nance, Ojeleye, Wcs and Zub, plus about 68 mil in cap space, enough to max 2 guys (and then some).
Add 2 of PG, Westbrook, Cousins and it's off to the races.
We keep our young core and add marquee FA's. |
I always saw JC and Randle as 2 really great bench guys and together could for a mob but given the MozDeng deals, funds are tight so they might both be the outsiders looking in. I guess ideal world Randle + JC + 28 +2019 first (if that's possible) for PG and then try and move Deng after his value is back up playing the 4 and stretch Mozzy in 2018. |
With the 2018 first going to Philadelphia, the 2019 first can't be traded until after the 2018 draft. |

I think Jordan's role off the bench is well suited for this team. Randle, on the other hand, is a bad fit especially at an increased salary. To play Luke's style of basketball, a stretch 4 is necessary, and Randle ain't that. Look at every other uptempo pace and space team in the league, they all have stretch 4s that help space the floor. Randle, to me, is the odd man out. |

With Randle cap hold/Clarkson/#28 pick, we have about $82 million in salary committed in 2018. If we trade those three assets for George, with George's cap hold of $29 million, we'd add about $1 million to that number, making our total $83 million, or about $20 million in cap room. We'd still need to stretch Mozgov and/or Deng at that point to free up another max slot. |
This is the most realistic plan. At this moment Indy says NO! But in february at the end of the deadline could be feasable with a few "ifs".
Someone comes with a better offer. (Boston is the biggest danger).
Indy didn't upgrade the roster and they are in the same situation as now.
George tells Prichard he's gone in FA.
If all of this happens (it's a good probability), then Indy would be with the back at the wall and takes the offer. |

I think the only team that will trade for George is the Lakers. I don't see Boston taking the chance. |

There is a chance!
If they bring Hayward in FA and then trade for George they would have line-up of IT-Bradley-Hayward-PG-Hortford plus depth.
Never knows what can happen. If Love or Irving are injured, Celtics could knocken them out.
And anyway, Celtics have the Brooklyn 1st next year. They could offer it plus Brown and an expiring and it's better than Clarckson, Randle and #28. |

It would make a lot more sense for them to do that for Butler instead of George. |

Your scenario doesn't work. Boston wouldn't have any expiring contracts to offer for George aside from Thomas and Bradley if they open enough cap space to sign Hayward. Here's what a Boston team that acquires Hayward looks like.
Thomas....Fultz.......Rozier
Hayward...Bradley...Smart
Crowder...Brown.....Yabusele
Horford
Zizic
From here a realistic trade for George would likely consist of Brooklyn's 2018 1st, Jae Crowder, Terry Rozier and the 2017 37th pick. |

Well I do like what I'm hearing. One of my biggest concerns was that they were going to rush things, and give up too much for a mediocre and diminishing product (see Nets).
I think Mitch was excellent at what he did, but Rob does have a way of instilling confidence, even in an interview. I am actually gaining confidence that Rob and Magic will close the deal on a major free agent. _________________ LeBron, AD, & _________. Stay tuned.

Which one?
And the question is who will trade for 6month rental, if they don't have a roster to fight against GSW/Cle, knowing that PG want to come to LA?
Other than Boston, I don't know who. |

That's good... for Boston!
In Feb 2018 near the trade deadline when they could lose PG for nothing, Indy will do this.
Brooklyn #1 could be huge. Other than Sacramento which team could be worse than Nets. In this moment I see none. |
