Some rumors about the Lakers going after Nic Claxton now.
Would seem to be a nice fit but maybe a bit odd in a post-Lebron world. How do you fit the next superstar in there with Luca and Claxton on the books? I don't think you'd be able to fit another max contract in there. Might make things a little funky in a year or two.
But IF you make that move while also moving James for 'aggregate' guys who might then be able to be used as trade pieces in a sign and trade (which James wouldn't be able to do given his eventual retirement) and you end up more flexible in terms of future roster construction.
Really do think I'd prefer a Robert Williams deal. It's just cleaner.
In either event, those are the two guys I really think we should keep an eye on in a possible trade in the coming days. Williams and Claxton.
