I like the basis of the trade of Rui for Monk. Kings have a log jam in the back court. Lakers absorb Monk's contract, so they need some value added to this deal imo. I think the Lakers might be targeting a Lou Dort/Keon Eliis type player. What would it take for the Lakers to get Ellis?

There isn't really a reasonable trade that the Lakers could execute for Ellis. Personally I would want reaves and bronny James (so we could cut him) for ellis and saric and t williams . But I doubt the lakers would want to do that.

This would never happen but Ellis and LaVine for LeBron?
