They have Kuzma and this years #28 pick as assets.

I thought of Kuzma when I asked that and vomited. I forgot about #28 though. I guess if you REALLY like someone in the 25-30 range, like Tyler Bey, it could make some sense to do THJ for Green/#28. Not sure why the Lakers would do that though. Both players are on the last year of their deals, so the Lakers would really have to like THJ's shooting, and it's not like Green can't shoot at all.

1) Green (15 mil) + Kuzma (3,5 mil). Both expiring. I guess Green could be flipped for worse contract and further assets. 
2) Wright (18 mil)+#18. 

I guess it all depends, how you value Kuzma. He will have to be paid, though. If Lakers add #28, we can add #31, which is basically same.

Boston trading for Gobert likely requires Hayward going out. If he's not that keen on going back to Utah, the rumors about him considering opting out to force a S&T to a 3rd team start to make more sense.

Not impossible. Schroeder comes to my mind first as Lakers need a playmaker when LeBron sits. Dinwiddie (PO in 2021) or Fournier (PO in 2020) could fit the description.

Schroeder. It's Schroeder. That makes a ton of sense, as I've heard several national guys connect him with the Lakers.

That would be like a perfect way to get Hayward, because he has all the leverage here - I will not opt in unless you trade me to Dallas in a three team trade. Boston needs his cotnract to trade for Gobert, unless they want to trade Smart. The question is, what would Utah want to give up Gobert? Boston can provide the picks, but they would also require good players, as they still want to compete. Utah might also be reluctant to take whole Hayward salary, as they are close to tax already. Still, I think Kleber and Curry would be minimum to make Utah interested. So how about: 

Dal: Hayward Snt
Utah: one of the Williams brothers, Kleber, Curry, Boston draft compensation (add Jackson or so to match salaries)
Boston: Gobert

Boston is giving up Hayward, so I don't agree we are giving most compensation. If we want Gobert, we need to add picks. I assume 2 FRP - #14 and one future. I prefer Hayward. I think Curry and Kleber is a fair price for Hayward SnT. You trade for Hayward, if you like him. If you do, this is a fair price. I don't think Boston is moving him for less. And Utah is certainly not moving Gobert for a bunch of bad salaries in a form of Wright and Powell.

If you "get rid" of Curry, Kleber and in a separate deal Wright, while you get Hayward on a multiyear deal (let's say 4 years 100 mil), you are one Powell trade away from max slot for Giannis.
