Message: [QUOTE="chugg21, post: 2885617, member: 3360"] Problem is whether or not the Lakers have a centerpiece that is worthwhile which I don't think they do. They don't have a definite future all-star nor a top 10 pick to offer. Butler certainly isn't going to be a centerpiece of a trade given his FA status at the end of the year. Dallas has absolutely nothing to offer that gets them a call back outside of Luka and that situation would just be New Orleans but a few hours west. Seems like the only things that are realistic is NY for Porzingis and filler, Chicago for 1 of Carter or Markkanen and their 1st if the pick ends up in the top 2, Philly for Simmons and filler or Boston for Tatum and the Kings/Griz picks. No other teams have assets to match those that are realistic and also possible re-signing spots. [/QUOTE]
