    I would be willing to include Tucker in the trade, but if Capela, Gordon and salary dumps get it done then even better.

    I'd do EGo, Capella and a 1st rounder (or two) for Lebron. PJ showed some heart in the playoffs. Gordon was good but not efficient. Lets face it we are going nowhere without a significant change. Capela is good when James hits him with easy alley oops but he is soft and we should trade him while his value is high.

    Paul
    Harden
    Lebron
    Tucker
    Faried or whoever else...

    No chance this is happening but im bored so ill entertain it lol.

    Trade capela, gordon, picks and whoever else for Lebron. Sign JJ Reddick, DJ, Shumpert (I think he's expiring but idk), Faried and Rivers.

    CP3- Rivers
    Harden- Reddick
    Lebron- Shump
    Tucker- Faried
    DJ

    Good veteran squad. Get a new coach (idk who). Let Harden do his thing in the regular season and rest lebron/CP3 regularly. Then let Lebron take over in the playoffs and let Harden be his "Wade" and hope CP3 can contribute somehow.

    None of this is happening, its just 1230 am and im bored.

    Lakers are not trading Lebron. But you’re all deluded if you think this wouldn’t give us a better chance for a chip. Try double Harden then with Lebron being one pass away. You could find bunch of ring chasers for the MLE and minimum.

    But this ain’t happening I think we will be running it back and look for an MLE signing and waiting for a potential second star trade that would include Gordon and picks. Although we should look to unload that scrub Capela for a player with more skills other than catching a lob.

    I will say this. PJ Tucker’s trade value has never been higher and he’s 35. A playoff caliber team or a contending team would go crazy to get PJ Tucker. He’s a difference maker; does everything; plays his best in the clutch. Coaches kill for players like that.

    If we were gonna blow this completely up and rebuild around Harden who is only 30, you start by trading Tucker, EG and do whatever you can to get CP3 off the books.

    That gets u a clean slate with Harden and 25 yr old Capela (whom you could easily move if you wanted to). Gives you the space to sign max free agents outright. It’s a helluva free agent class.

    I see the wisdom of running the core (CP,EG, PJ, Capela and Harden) out there for one last year given EG’s impending free agency. But not without adding another major piece in the front court. If they can’t add another significant piece to their core, they should blow up the team and get involved in this free agent market.

    I'd do it obviously. I'm also certain Morey would do it. Clearing your cap space of all role player contracts and being locked into Harden/CP3/Lebron only is a dream situation for our window and our flexibility. Painful to lose Tucker, but you gotta give something good to get something good, it's a trade not an acquisition.

    C's: Hartenstein
    2/3/4's: Harden/Lebron/Clark/House
    PG's: Paul

    You already have 6 of your 8-man playoff rotation set. Your glaring hole is at C. Split the MLE between a PG (Rivers?) and a C (O'Quinn?). Fill the rest with minimum and 2-way contracts (basically sign the 2 best shooters available for the minimum plus Gerald Green). That's the next 3 years, no need to worry about anything but the pieces around them. I think Tilman become a little less tight with his wallet because from a marketing standpoint this is now a monster.

    Frankly with that roster you can go with a mediocre coach and win it at least once.

    I don't think the Lakers would, but it's interesting because they would still have cap space and suddenly the Lakers are perfectly built for a superstar to slide in. There are other contenders who could compete with that offer too I think.
