The Lakers need to try to pull off this trade...At least make an attempt.

Miami gets- Rozier & Theis

Indiana gets- Westbrook, Nunn, and 1 first rd pk from LA (top 5 protected)

Charlotte gets- Lowry, 1 first rd pk from MIA (top 5 protected), and (2) 2nd rd pks from LA.

Reasons why teams would make trade:

Charlotte needs cap space to sign current/future FA (MJ will not pay luxury tax on a borderline playoff/play-in team)...Trading Rozier/Gordan guarantees Charlotte a spot in the lottery. Charlotte gets cap space and has the option of buying Lowry out or trading his expiring contract next season for a draft pick or player.

Indiana gets cap space and a pick...They hold on to Turner and trade him in another deal (Brooklyn)

Miami gets one of the most productive PGs in the league and a solid backup post (Theis)...They also get rid of Lowry's contract.

LA adds much-needed scoring, 3 pt shooting, and a backup post (Plumlee)


G- Dennis
G- Hield
C- AD
F- LeBron
F- Hayward
6- walker
7- Reave
8- Plumlee
9- Beverley

Or you can start Beverley and bring Dennis off the bench

If push comes to shove and you have to give up a 2nd first rd pick, do it.

Indy ain't fiending for the cap space.

As for Charlotte, even without this trade and with a looming LaMelo extension, they're well below the cap next summer. If anything you're just replacing Hayward with Lowry just so he can be LaMelo's backup.
