Synopsis:

Lakers trade Kobe and Pau (49 million dollars)

for

Humphries, Wallace, Bass, Lee, Shavlik Randolph, Jordan Crawford, and Fab Melo (38.7 million + trade exception)

Look both teams are not capable of competing for a title no matter how mix and match the teams. Lakers can go after the top pick and get Lebron James next year.

The Celtics have a chance, albeit a slim one with Rondo, Kobe, Green, Pau Gasol and Center Man to make it to the 2014 NBA Finals and then can clear a lot of cap space in 2014 to go after Marc Gasol and Tony Allen in the off-season.

OK what do you all think of this tomfoolery.

tomfoolery is the kindest term to use.

why on god's green earth would you EVER want to set up any possibility of giving the Lakers both Wiggins and Lebron?  Why, why, why? 

this trade would never happen but why would you ever want it too?  just the thought of Kobe in green makes me puke but the full picture of the after effects of LA having Wiggins and Bron while we're backpedaling with Gasol and TA?  just horrible.

Guess what!

With the Lakers in their dilapitated state thay could get the top pick and have cap space to go after Lebron and Melo in 2014. I hate Kobe's guts too. We need to make a trade with someone that has cap room and roster space. There is a lot of flotsam on our team right now. I don't like our cap situation this year and next year but in 2015 looks good but roster space still a problem with all those number one picks.

I think I just threw up in my soul.

That said, if we did this we'd play Gasol at center and Sully at PF.
Rondo / Kobe / Green / Sully / Gasol

No doubt that's quite the starting lineup, and you could go small by bringing in Bradley and shifting everyone down a spot.

But... ~*%*&!#^%

The Lakers aren't going to trade Kobe unless it was somehow for LeBron, Bosh and Wade or some other ridiculously unlikely scenario.  I could see them trading Pau Gasol for that type of smorgasbord in the OP though.

So offer them:

Crawford ($2.2M), Melo ($1.2M), Bass ($6.4M), and Humphries (12.0M)  - Total $21.8

For

Gasol - $19.3

Kobe will likely miss time anyway so if they trade Pau, they are definitely lottery bound.  In 2014-15 they end up with Kobe resigned, a stud rookie, and maybe LeBron and/or Carmelo plus they need a few more players this year just to field a team.  We save a little money this year and clean up our roster substantially to give our young players a little more room to grow, without actually getting any better or worse.

The Lakers could probably even find someone to take Nash off their hands (Phili for example needs to spend some money just to get to the minimum) and then they would really be wide open in 2014-15 and a lock for a top 3 pick in the lottery.

I think it bears pointing out that Kobe's got a no-trade clause.

At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I was going to point out that the Celtics are hard-capped and can only add about $4 mil in salary this year, and not $11 mil, but your point is better.

Do the Lakers give the Cs a 19 million expiring contract for just a 12 million expiring and some role players though?
