Who says no Irving and TT to the clips for Jordan, Beverly, and Lou. Clips can unload TT to the lakers for the even worse deng contract and either Clarkson or randle. If they don’t think Blake and TT can play together.
Bonus for the lakers is it might help their Lebron chase to have one of his boys on the team. And the clipper get some depth back trading 3 for 2.
The cavs might actually be equipped to deal with the warriors with that team. And everyone, cept Jordan( who can easily be traded for assets) is on a short term contract so they can full rebuild next year if lebron leaves.
Clips, I dunno, they would be the worst defensive team in the league but they would still be a 6–4th seed and be fun as hell to watch and Irving Blake Gallo core is all on a similar timeline and a better starting point than most teams. Might never be good enough defensively to compete no matter how well they do find role players to surround the but eh. Not every team can be a winner
