this is Paul George last year all over again
"I want to go to the Lakers"
LA: Hello Indy, we have a nice shiny huge contract in Deng and Julius Randle
Pacers: Uh no thanks, we will try our luck with this Oladipo fellow at least he's played college in our city.
2018...
Kawhi: I want a trade to the Lakers
LA: Hello Spurs we have a nice shiny Deng contract and a Julius Randle, this time we can throw in a Kyle Kuzma or Josh Hart (he's really good at Fortnite btw)
Spurs: Uhh it's Ingram or Lonzo or we are going to the Celtics for Brown.
Lakers have literally nothing to give these teams but Ingram and that is their only piece. No team wants those other turd scraps. If the Lakers were smart they should have spent the last year trying to gather as many assets as they could for THIS VERY MOMENT WHEN A SUPERSTAR WILL ASK TO BE TRADED TO THEM. But they didn't. Just sat on Kuzma, Lopez and all these other turds.
