It takes three people to form a dynasty and screw the League: LeBron, Presti and Buss.

LeBron can be a free agent this upcoming season, He could take a small deal and join the Thunder. Putting Jeanie Buss (Lakers owner) in a tricky Situation, either sell AD and rebuild or try to build around him. Presti and Bron know, recruiting AD would be a perfect fit. The ideal running mates for LeBron and AD are already in the Thunder: SGA relieving LeBron from offensive responsibilities while being a good Defender (might need to improve 3pt% again), Chet being a great Stretch 5 with Elite defensive capabilities (complementing AD's), and a great supporting cast (Dort, etc.). Two Dominos have to fall for this: 1. Buss wanting to rebuild 2. Presti giving up his picks.

Taking the rebuilding Route would be attractive for Buss for the following reasons: The pelicans Pick Exchange is pretty much complete; Jalen Williams is a great foundation Block; Ton of immediate valuable picks from Thunder; could figure Out Coaching Situation; have a very competent scouting and development Department.
Presti could add ridiculous Talent "for cheap" by acquiring LeBron through free Agency. Likely wouldn't have to give up holmgren (Lakers will als for him, but picks should be enough to make Up for it); Can't use all their picks anyways; immediate title favorite. Would possibly retain some assets to make further moves.

Presti would essentially get two Superstars for the price of one, while only giving up picks.
