My prediction:
Lakers trade LaRavia, DK & two 2nds in a S&T for Kuminga: 4/$64M ($16M AAV, Team Option Y4) just above the full MLE.
Lakers: Kuminga
Hawks: LaRavia + two 2nds
3rd team: DK
2-for-1 deal opens a roster spot for LA to sign Thybulle on a 1-year vet minimum.

Here's what I see...
Defense: Grimes takes the toughest guard, Kuminga takes the toughest wing, Kessler protects the rim
Offense: This group has every ingredient to become the No. 1 offense in the NBA
Bench: Elite athleticism, shooting, and defensive versatility
