trade 1- the best of all, 3 team trade which benefit all of them and will make lakers the number one contender for the title next year:
wolves get- ingram, frye, ennis, hart, zubac (all 17.2 mill)
clippers get- lonzo, deng (23 mill)
lakers get- d.jordan and jimmy butler. (41 mill)
why for the wolves? butler finish his contract next year and they can lose him for nothing, ingram give them a good young player under cheap contract for 3 years who can develop next to towns and wiggs. the other are just to fill the salary diffrences.
why for the clippers? instead of losing deandre for nothing this free agency, they get lonzo who has a lot of potential. also the bad contract of deng, but they on rebuild anyway so it won't interupt them to much...it's simillar to the lopez-ruselll+mozgov trade.
Why would a guy named Jerry West, whose fingerprints are all over the Warriors build, even be a consideration for a lonzo?
Balmer brought in Jerry to make his impression there.
Unless West is acquiring some draft picks, your Clipper scenario won't ever occur.
We all just have to wait for the first signing to happen before we know what is Pelinka/Magic's direction for our team.
