Doesn't LeBron also have a no trade clause? Unloading him would be quite difficult, for a lot of reasons
This is the Lakers, and LeBron's career is nearly over. The Lakers have a tendency to make dumb win-now moves like trading for Russell Westbrook. While trading LeBron would make sense for them, I can definitely see pride being an issue.
The deal I proposed would be a bad one for them, but teams do make bad deals sometimes. I also like Bruno's idea of letting CP3 finish this season (and perhaps his career) in Los Angeles and making room at the starting PG spot for Castle.

To me it seems crazy to go out of our way to trade Chris Paul. He could easily get injured, or demand a trade near the trade deadline on his own. I think his presence on the team is invaluable. If we want to give Castle more of an opportunity, then just play Chris Paul less while still letting him mentor the rest of the team.
CP3 seems generally satisfied here. Not sure why he'd demand a trade, and not sure why we'd be looking to trade him.
Paul has a +16.1 On/Off Differential this season (meaning the Spurs have a +16.1 better NETRTG with him on the court than with him off of it) with is 98th percentile in the league. By comparison, Wemby is only a +11.2 this season. (Zach is -6.3 and Keldon -16.1)
Also... just to stir up a little ... Devin's On/Off is -20.7, worst on the team and in the 1st percentile in the entire league. This equates to -37 expected wins. OUCH.

Figuring Devin's situation out has to be priority for this season.
His health is arguably the most important thing we need to deal with. If he can't stay healthy, he needs to go, no hard feelings.
If he can, then we need to see if he can function on a winning team. I personally think he'll greatly benefit from not having to create much, but he has to prove it.
He still has a lot of value around the league and his contract is just perfect for a trade.
I really wanted a Keldon for DeAndre Hunter swap, but Hunter had been playing too good of late. Shame.
I think Devin is here to stay, or at least I don’t think they move on any time soon just because he’s injured. The more interesting thing to me is what they do with the Keldon contract.
I think the biggest problem is that by the time we figure out he'll need to go (which hopefully won't happen), it will be obvious to everyone else as well and his value will be diminished from where it currently is.
With that said, he's only played 9 games so my On/Off stat is just to stir up some . However, in those 9 games he has had a negative +/- in 8 of them (which for those who don't know, +/- and On/Off are not the same thing).
The NBA trade season and rumor mill will probably kick up big time with the December 15th being tomorrow and a bunch of players become trade eligible.
The question becomes do the Spurs make a trade keldon + draft assets for a veteran that can help off the bench and try and make a push for the playoffs to get the core young players playoff experience and start the growth process of the young players.
I am hoping they make a move I like for the team to make it in this year to the playoffs
Wonder with SA back up center “issues” if we see them take a look at Paul Reed?
Upgrading Keldon for Aaron Nesmith somehow is a deal I'd love to see happen.
Hawks trading Cody Zeller and a 2nd round pick to Detroit is my guess as the follow up trade Pistons will make to go over the salary floor.
Detroit absorbing salary as part of a bigger 3-team deal elsewhere perhaps......
Schroder to GS
Send them Branham for one of those pizzas cooked in the automotive drip pans
Dude was ing their tank up
I don't understand why Schroeder bounces around so much. He's a good player.
I'd be into kicking the tires on Paul Reed if he's available.
He's always seemed like a Spurs type.
Wait a minute, Philly must be in the running to nab Reed now that Embiid is down.....again.
Ugh good pick up for the Dubs. I hate it.
Still funny to think that Schroeder turned town 4yrs/82 million from the Lakers and has bounced around on cheap deals every season since then
Me neither. Has to be a personality thing?
Having a healthy Melton would have been quite a lot better for GS than having Schröder, in my opinion.
So, Bobby Marks is proposing that we acquire Brandon Ingram. Proposed trade is KJ+Zollins+Chicago 1st for Ingram.
I like the price. I'm a little ambivalent on the player. Thoughts?
