Premises of the proposal:

1. Lakers have concluded that in the next two years they will not have been able to build a team competitive enough for Luka to face OKC and the Spurs in the Western Conference, so Luka could leave in 2028.

2. James Harden will either leave Cleveland or take a significant pay cut.

3. Dallas would really like Luka back to compete for the ring with them, with Flagg being the price to pay.
