They would never accept that. Here are a few somewhat reasonable trades.

Knicks:

Lakers receive:

Kristaps Porzingis

Knicks receive:

D-Lo

28th pick

2019 unprotected 1st.

Pacers:

Lakers receive:

PG and his bird rights.

Pacers receive:

Clarkson

Randle

PG: Lonzo Ball

SG: Paul George

SF: Brandon Ingram

PF: Porzingod

C: Zupac

I think people value the #2 pick in this draft more than D'lo tbh. Also I think knicks would rather have Clarkson than the 28th so probably switch those two and add a 2nd rounder next year to the Pacers trade and I can see this maybe being done

We can't trade our 2019 pick

So you rather have an unproven Lonzo instead of the best young Point guard in the league who has already proven he's up there with the elite guards at age 21 ?. I don't get it.

I would rather Russell over Lonzo.

But I would also rather Kristaps Porzingis over Russell.

Also I don't think you can say Russell has proven to be with the elite guards. He is very promising though.

The trade I showed is still heavily favoring the Lakers, and we would be very lucky to get either of those completed.
