NOTE: I’m not entirely sure the Thunder want to trade Shai, but this is strictly hypothetical.
Russ goes back Home… to the team that drafted him. They’ll gladly accept a draft pick in order to bring in Russ for a year. They also sign Mo Bamba to hold down the center spot and Jarrett Culver to compete for a spot in the rotation.
Lakers acquire Shai, who on some nights can be your primary scoring option and other nights can be 2 or 3. They also add some front court depth, and bring in Derick Favors and veteran centers Hassan Whiteside and Javale McGee
