With salary cap implications, signing LeBron James straight up — who makes $33M with Cleveland, would be very difficult. That is where the sign and trade option begins to become a reality. In that case, Chris Haynes is reporting that Lonzo Ball would be the key piece if the Lakers were to sign and trade for the King.
“The one constant that I’ve heard is Lonzo Ball.”
