The Lakers could reward him a year later , because they'll reatain his bird rights.
This is the only way for him to be competitive with AD on the Lakers and challenge the new teams for one year or two.
I think PG 13 is tired of Kawhi, and would love to try in Purple&Gold, in a team that needs badly somebody like him...

Not possible for a whole host reasons. Mainly the Lakers have no cap space

PG is not good enough to be the missing piece for the Lakers either.
PG is my favorite player btw.

Don't think it's possible, Lakers already got like $120m in cap without Lebron, which already leaves them way short of anything PG would consider. And Lebron needs to make some of that too.

Better off getting Harden and letting him become the #1 option during the season

But they just need to stay healthy next year again hopefully. I mean this plan and strategy of hoping for health has absolutely worked the last 5 years, ots bound to be better next year right?

Can LeBron still be the best player on a championship team??
I think he needs to be a #2 to a Jokic or Embiid level player, so taking a paycut for PG13 is trivial if it doesn't significantly change LAs outlook

LeBron needs to be the #2 Option to a player like Wemby
He would be the perfect Point Forward for him
He would get a younger Star that can defend the perimeter and Paint vs AD who's only good at guarding the Paint.
Pop would be the best Coach LeBron's ever been coached by all time!
Spurs could trade K Johnson, Sochan, Jones & Picks for Trae Young to complete the Big 3
Young, Vassell, LeBron, Collins, Wemby
It might not seem like the best team but it definitely beats the Lakers current Roster.
Young and Wemby can keep playing after LeBron Retires
It's a good big 3 that can have a chance vs Denver & OKC

Dude, the Lakers are about to get swept again. Why are you even imagining a scenario where the Lakers will do anything in the playoffs? You should be talking about rebuild scenarios.

Clippers, Pelicans, Suns all get swept vs the Nuggets
Okc, Mavs might get lucky and win 1 game.
Stop acting like LeBron/AD Lakers are getting beat by the Clippers lmao

Have him get PG 13. It won't matter. You can't win by cobbling together a collection of 2017 All NBA players. The Lakers, Suns, and Clippers are now demonstrating that. Shuffling among those guys is re-arranging the deck chairs.
Of course, LeBron can still win a title, as Option 1A, but if so he's going to need to do that with some young studs next to him.

We aren't. Lakers are such a terrible team they don't even reach decent playoff seedings to have a chance to advance higher rounds. Those are the facts, not some what if scenarios or Clips vs Lakers (which Clippers have dominated last few years mind you).

If LeBron the #2 then you've got a great shot.
He can still be #1 with right teammates

I think if LeBron is serious about getting one last chip then he'll sign a team friendly deal. It's clear the Lakers need one more consistent offensive option. But I don't know about PG13 being that guy lol

Did you not just see what happened to Phoenix? I don’t get the fascination of teaming up multiple stars again to ring chase. Fit matters most now.
