Trades:

Russell Westbrook for G. Hayward & Kelly Oubre

• The Hornets has expressed interest in trading Russell Westbrook for some of their assets. Trading for Gordon Hayward can increase depth in scoring and playing quality defense. Kelly Oubre has a surprising underrated breakout season with the Hornets after a dissappointing season with the Warriors, now he can bring that energy in the Lakers system and his 3&D style of play.

Anthony Davis for John Collins & Kevin Knox

• Lakers do this because AD can't stay healthy and trading for another lob threat and a catch-n-shoot player. John Collins can be LeBron's new partner in lobs and Kevin Knox can knock down 3s.

Tradin THT for P. Williams

• This means that Lakers are trading for defense and rebounding, something they lacked last season.

Signing ...

Isiah Thomas (For providing offensive firepower at the bench) Avery Bradley (He might be starting once Nunn is ready and healthy, but he will provide defense) K. Knox (Sign-N-Trade) H. Whiteside (defense and length)

Future?

I might trade LBJ after this season to make Lakers have more cap space and bring back Lake-Show with a young squad.
