This is what Kyrie does.
Of course I wouldn't want him to walk for nothing.. so yes...
Sign and Trade (IMHo) is the way.
Reaves + Vanderbilt + whoever
I don't even care if the Mavs don't get a pick as long as Reaves and Vanderbilt are included.
Davis 47
LeBron 40
Kyrie 40 (assuming he´d sacrifice a little money)
Reaves 20
Hachimura 15
Vanderbilt 5
That´s basically what the Lakers would want out of this.
Lakers want to send Russell + Bamba + Beasley + future 1st to the Mavs.
Mavs want Kyrie + McGee for Russell + Hachimura + Vanderbilt + future 1st.
Settle at Kyrie + McGee for Russell + Bamba + Vanderbilt + future 1st.
Ideally you make it a three-way trade and send Russell to another team. Would Orlando be interested for Isaac + Harris?
That would mean you pulled off a Kyrie trade for four expiring contracts, got rid of McGee and added a future 1st.
Maybe you can get Vucevic in a S&T or for the MLE if his market is real bad.
A lot would ride on the health of Isaac, Kleber and Bamba, but on paper it´s at least deep and you can easily generate $50M+ in capspace next summer.
Would not be the worst deal in the world, if you are committed to push forward with a younger roster.
