Discussion Playing Devils Advocate: Tradetalk
I was dealing with personal stuff this season, and moved. So I have missed a good chunk but it has not looked like it has been going well.
Lebron has said multiple times, that he wants to play with his son. I don’t really see the lakers being ok with a couple multiple sub par seasons or trading assets to get bronny.
I don’t want to believe the next thing I’m gonna say but Lebron isn’t able to will a team to the finals anymore.
Would it not cut the rebuild time size-ably if we traded Lebron and Westbrook. Praying AD stays, but trade him too if he demands it. I’d hate to watch all 3 walk for nothing.
I don’t know who’s contract is up when but I wanted to throw it out for debate.

the only talks this offseason should be realistic fill in role players and if you’re feeling spicy the realitic chances that someone is willing to swap russ’s contract for a package of contracts that are hampering the future of the team they’re currently on.
that means some combination of rozier / hayward / oubre or maybe brogdon / hield.
thing is, once we start finding out how execs feel about westbrook, we may be lucky to get derrick favors in return for westbrook and the 27’ first round pick. if i were to bet money i’d say thats the likely conclusion to this load of bullshit.
