How about Luka for Garland and Okoro?

2 expiring contracts for a 2x All-Star, seems legit.

Do you also realize how awful of a fit Garland is with Luka and LeBron? lol a pass first PG with 2 ball dominant forwards...

It’s a running joke brother. Anytime any all star is somewhat available, this is the “war chest” the Lakers be offering

Personally, I don't want Lebron at all. That chapter has been written. It ended well. Let's just leave it alone. Lebron chose LA for reasons other than competing. There is nothing left for him in Cleveland and it would mostly just be annoying having him back as a Cavalier.

First off, for Lebron to the Cavs to make any sense it has to have Allen going out as part of the value. LBJ is a 4 now, him, Mobley, Allen together would push Mobley to the wing or Allen to the bench. Just not going to be something you do on purpose.

The second part of it is the legality of the trades due to the 2nd apron. Any trade to get LBJ on that contract is going to take multiple bigger contracts going out with a team or two under the cap penalty to help make the money work. At this point with him opting in on his contract, the only non-complicated way he comes to CLE is if the Lakers are sucking and they buy him out at the deadline. Then he would have to accept the vet min.

I don't think LeBron is going anywhere but if he wants to retire a Cav than even though he opted in he could ask Lakers for a buyout and sign with Cavs for the min. Again he likely is not going anywhere this is all just media clickbait.

Call me selfish but I want someone better than Mitchell as the second option on the Lakers going forward.

Another off-season dominated by Lebron headlines.

I can’t be the only one sick of it all by this point.

Noone is trading for Lebron.
