And if Dame does decide it is time to go, he'll want to go to a legitimate contender. I still think the Lakers are an interesting trade partner in that they'll try to maximize LeBron's closing championship window and are over a barrel with Westbrook. If I'm going to go into a rebuild, I'd take Westbrook to lead the tank and getting multiple future first rounders from the Lakers could be pretty valuable. '27 and '29 is a long way away and a gamble if they are able to successfully and quickly retool from the LeBron/AD/Dame era. You could also take THT and flip him pretty easily for another FRP.
How do Lakers get Dame while sending all the remaining assets to Dallas to take Westbrook?
