The need for the Lakers to make a move this offseason has been a topic that has been talked about many times in the past, whether it is to promote a deal involving Russell Westbrook or to put Anthony Davis on the shelves, this seems to be a move that the Lakers need to consider.
Some media have even suggested that the Lakers can fully put the team's superstar LeBron James on the shelf. For example, the US media Jason Reid suggested that the Lakers push for a trade involving LeBron James, and it is with James' old club Cavaliers to promote a deal:
The Lakers got: Colin Sexton (signed first, changed later), Kevin Love, two first-round picks and one first-round pick swap
Cavaliers get: LeBron James
If the two teams can promote such a deal, it means that the historical legendary superstar player has been "traded" for the first time in his career, and the Lakers can get young players like Sexton and veterans like Luck in this deal, plus two first-round and one first-round exchange rights in return on assets.
As for LeBron James being able to return to his old club, the Cavaliers, and now the Cavaliers are young players with good strength, especially in the final stages of their careers, it would be a great option if they could end their careers with the Cavaliers.
On the Lakers side, they will also be able to enter the reconstruction phase around Sexton, and even continue to promote deals involving Westbrook and Davis, which will also allow the Lakers to get more future assets.
Of course, the Lakers are unlikely to push for a deal involving LeBron James so simply, and at least for now, such a deal is unlikely to become a reality.
