But they want more then just George they want Lebron and then the abilty to surround those 2 with the best possible players
After my trade the Lakers would have only 17 million in contracts for next year they could offer 3 max contracts
They would have a roster like this after signing LeBron and George
Ball, Ennis
George, Hart
James
Kuzma, Nance
Zubac, Thomas
with the max salaries as James and George they would be sitting at almost 80 million still 30 million away from the cap
They could nab say Favors who they traded for to play center and would be an amazing fit (with a smaller cap hold then Lopez)
I am not sure what they rule is for players that have their rights waived but if he could I am sure the KCP would sign with the Lakers again or even offer Chris Paul a 20 mil a year contract
Imagine
Paul, Ball, Ennis
George, Hart
James, Sefolosha (part of the Utah Trade)
Kuzma, Nance
Favors, Zubac, Thomas
That team would compete with the Warriors and all they would have to do is trade Ingram or Kuzma
