2. Lakers Get LeBron James, Kevin Love
Of all these theoretical trades that the Lakers would love to make and will never be able to because they are so absurd, the one that they would have to give up the most to make happen would be a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers that would bring both LeBron James and Kevin Love to the City of Angels.
After all, the Lakers, to match the gaudy salaries of Love and LeBron, would have to send Roy Hibbert, Lou, Swaggy P, Julius Randle, Bass, Ryan Kelly, and (God forbid) Robert Sacre to Cleveland to make the money work under the salary cap. I don’t want to overstep my authority in these fabricated trade scenarios, but I think giving up all of those players for just one of LeBron or Love would be well worth it—much less in a mad-up trade that would land the Lakers both players.
Perhaps the most hilarious part about this trade that will never happen is the fact that I can already hear the contrarian voices that would no doubt come to light if it were to happen. Crazy people would come in talking about LeBron being too old to give up Randle or that Love doesn’t play defense or something else that’s just moronic. It’s LeBron James and Kevin Love. All of these hypothetical people getting bent out of shape over a trade that isn’t going to ever get done need to just shut up.
