Who says no? Works on the machine. Kings can throw in Monk for free, if they want more cap relief.

Lakers

Gafford

Kings

Christie
Vanderbilt
Martin
Thompson

Mavs

Lavine
#25 pick (Lakers)
#34 pick (Kings)

Compensation for taking on the last year of Lavine's contract seems fair from a Mavs perspective. Lakers get the big Luka is asking for. Don't see why the Kings would even consider it. They aren't competing anytime soon. Lavine's contract isn't hurting them. Might as well let him expire. Maybe a desperate team offers a pick or two for him at the deadline.
