Philadelphia's third overall pick and Jahlil Okafor for D'Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson.
The Lakers get the chance to select Ball and a potentially awesome running mate such as Tatum. (This gets rid of the argument about which to select.) There'd be much more time until you'd have to pay both compared to a Russell. Clarkson's contract would come off the books. Okafor could be a throw-in that truly adapts and blooms or he'd gone in a year or still be used a trade bait
