Probably with additional team(s) involved to provide draft compensation for Toronto. Clippers are basically same with the likes of Beverly, Zubac, Mann. I think trades like this could really shake things up and involve many more teams.
Also this - it has been reported several times that Toronto will listen to Lowry and respect his wish. So if he strongly wants to go to Lakers, Toronto might take a bit of a discount.
Seems like a lot of moving parts to resolve and not much time to do it. A lot of these guys are nightly contributors, so that production is lost and will have to be found. For LAL, LeBron is still out (maybe for another week or so) and AD is out for a while, so this gets rid of a lot of their depth. Similarly with LAC, although their stars are still healthy (for now).
All for one guy who may, or may not, help you get to the finals. But if DAL can capture one or two helpers in a side deal, it might be worth it.
