Silly Season for Tom
Aloha,
The last couple days have been crazy and who knows who is available anymore. The Warriors have reached out to the Lakers about LeBron again. Now I doubt if LeBron wants to leave but perhaps he could have felt disrespected by the Lakers for not letting him know about the AD trade. After all he has been the de facto GM everywhere he’s been. So what if he did want to end is career with the Warriors. Perhaps a trade would look something like this.
The Lakers send Lebron and Bronny to the Warriors for Wiggins, Dennis, Kuminga and 2025 first, 2029 first round picks and a 2nd.
The Lakers send Kuminga, Gabe and our 2031 pick to the Raptors for Poiltl. They get another young building block.
We send send Poiltl the Warriors 2029 first to the Pacers for Turner. That’s a valuable pick by the way. And they receive the quality starting center they require in a Turner trade.
Then we send the Nets Wood or Hayes and 2 seconds to the nets for Sharpe.
We still have a first. Wiggins is an upgrade at defense over Lebron a 2 way back up PG, a quality center to replace at least some of what we lost with the AD trade. and a quality backup center. I actually think we would be a better team. Like I said, I doubt LeBron asks out but if he did this actually isn’t far fetched like a lot of trades you see.

One of the pluses of trading Anthony Davis imo is the Lakers will finally be forced to trade for a legitimate starting center. Despite AD's repeated requests for a second big to play with and back him up, the Lakers were obviously… https://t.co/V2taXDdVyx pic.twitter.com/2ERfzPiB00
