If they find a cheaper replacement, I don't think it will be a problem for them to pay a third team to take some extra salary. KP for Boston has been great when healthy, but that wasn't often. He had injury problems both seasons in the playoffs.
Just as an example. Lets say Lakers see JRue as the guy and Boston likes AR. They could send AR to Boston and one of them pays third or potentially even fourth team to take Maxi and Vincent into capspace.
I know you were just using it as an example but didn't think of Jrue to the Lakers. Aren't they pretty tied to Reaves or has that changed some? Reaves better suits the Luka timeline, but he is in line for a big pay raise after next season.
Jrue would probably help more now, I think. Although he is sort of on the Lebron timeline. If Jrue is healthy and they find a capable starter that should be a real good team. I am just not sure it is a contender and it opens up many more questions down the road imo.
