Bit lengthy but here are my assumptions:
1) lakers don't want to give all their youngsters to Pelicans for AD.
2) Kawhi or KD would seriously consider lakers if Lebron wasn't there. They wouldn't say that but let's assume they would consider lakers if lebron is traded.

Based on this assumption, does lebron contract have positive or negative value considering length , size and age? If lakers were confident they could get Kawhi or KD shouldn't they trade lebron at any costs and keep their young talent?

For instance, to make money work, lakers would have to take back camp tracts that work, need shooters and don't want long horrible contracts

Lakers trade lebron
Kings trade bogi, bjelica, Barnes and two 2 Nd round picks.

May not sound like much for lebron but aren't the lakers much better with KD or Kawhi, Kuzma, Ingram, ball, and these players?

Kings do it for shot without giving away their top 3 players. Lakers get some shooting help. If people think it's absurd I'd like to hear a realistic scenario that lakers can get a great player under contract for lebron. Who would do that , and is that close to a title where they would give away a marquee player in prime?

First and formost, as a Kings fan I want no part of Lebron on my team. I have seen no signs that Lebron can interact positively with young players. And I am not about to sacrifice the team's future for Lebron's now.

Also, i think you are overlooking something with your second assumption. KD + Kawhi may not want to play with Lebron. But they also do not want to play for a disorganized, talentless front office either. Jeannie Buss needs to put on her big girl britches and start leading that organization.

I also am a kings fan and agree w not sacrificing future which is why I would never do it if Bagley hield or fox were involved. I think the allure of the lakers will continue despite the recent turmoil considering history, franchise etc. you think lakers wouldn’t do this if they knew Kawhi or KD would come without lebron on team?

So yur assumption is the lakers don't want to trade their young talent for Davis even though they already offered pretty much every young player on the roster? Ok got it lmao.
