Lakers-Thunder

Melo to la

Deng to okc

This gets some money of the books for okc, without them having to waive or stretch carmelo. They could also waive and stretch deng, or wait til next yr.

Unlike Deng, carmelo is only a 1 yr contract. With this move they can clear up enough for possibly having room for another 2 max or near max contracts to pair with lebron. There is also a slight chance playing with lebron will help melo revive his career, which is something u can take a chance on for a one yr deal.

This obviously wouldn't happen if la decides to trade for kawhi this summer, but if they decide to just sign him next yr as a fa, this deal could make sense.

Lakers would do it. Can't have enough shooters. Okc I doubt would.

Its a hog for a dog trade. Hard to tell which has the least fleas.
