For me:

Trade Kuzma and Gasol and if need be McKinnie for Harrison Barnes and a second round pick (39).

Let Drummond walk. Try to trade Harrell if he opts in -- doubtful.

Resign Dennis, AC, THT, Wes, Morris

Draft Murphy at 22 to replace Kuzma. Would be happy with Duarte.

Draft Sims at 39.

Sign Furkan Korkmaz at 2 million, Damion Jones or McGee (vet min)

Sign Dwight at 2 million and Portis at 1.8 million

Final roster:
PG --> LBJ, DS, THT
SG --> KCP, AC, Wes
SF --> Barnes, Korkmaz, Murphy or Duarte
PF --> AD, Portis, Morris
C --> Dwight, Damion Jones or McGee (vet min), Sims

You did an excellent job yourself the only other point for it to be a great off season for me is if the clippers lose.

Just get me buddy hield or Tyler herro via trade +whatever serviceable players we get thrown into the trade. Other than that, I'd love a veteran pg like patty mills if there's cap space.

This will be hated by most but my “perfect off-season” would be trade James for a Morant, Winslow, Brooks, Bane and #17 in the draft.

Or how about Thompson, Wiseman, #7, and #14?

Never going to happen for multiple reasons. James will retire a Laker. But I would seriously be looking forward instead of backwards.

The Lakers don't have a 2nd rounder.

Get a reputable, highly rated athletic trainer.

Trade for a 3rd guy. (dunno who it is, but I have no issues with Kuzma, pick, KCP, DS, or even one of my favorite players in Caruso)

1. Pending health, Batum for the MLE. Hopefully he's not washed.
2. Jaden Springer at 22. If not him, Vrenz Bleijenburgh, Chris Duarte, Kessler Edwards, Miles McBride

I would want in my trade scenario with Sactown to also give us their 2nd rounder with Barnes so we could draft a Sims or McBride or Vrenz😁

They would be so lucky if McBride or Vrenz are there.

I'm not clear on how LAL gets capped out, but unless they're taking in less salary in a Sacramento trade, then extra picks they gotta pay for only gets them to that ceiling, or beyond it.

Get a lob threat center who can help preserve AD in the regular season.
Get a wing who can defend and hit a 3. The 3 being more of a prio, but man needs to be able to keep his man in front of him.
Get a guard who can get our bigs easy lobs.
No injuries.

First call you make is to Dennis. Ask him where he wants to go. If toronto is one of the spots you sign and trade him , THT and 22 for Lowry. Keep Lowry on the same timeline as Lebron

Do the same courtesy for Trezz but think he walks with no co
compensation coming back

Kuzma’s stock is low so he ain’t going anywhere
kcp is klutch he isn’t leaving

Get ad with a new trainer/nutritionist

Sign Patty Mills
sign CarusoGoat

Lowry /Mills/ Caruso
kcp/ Wes
kuz /Lebron
ad/Morris
Marc/minimum player

Not flashy but also realistic

I think the FO honestly believes they would’ve repeated with a healthy “core” and they believe Kuz and Kcp are part of that core

I’m just not a huge embiid fan. Plus I think he sees himself as a leader ( which hes not) and adding him is adding a guy who doesn’t quite get his role.

THT shoots 1,000 3s a day (150,000) over 5 months, learns to use his left reliably, works on a floater like Trae Young and Ja Morant, practices rotations, and makes the Year 3 leap before turning 21 in November and discovering the LA club scene.

I like this for the most part. Only thing I think i would add is an additional trade involving kuz. We can replace kuz production with melo off the bench for the vet min. If kuz could net us a buddy hield or Tyler herro I think that could work. When we go small we can finish games out with ad/lbj/kcp/buddy/lowry

Re-sign Dennis.
Harrell takes his Player Option
Kuzma, KCP, Pick are traded for something/someone reputable. Lonzo is preferred, or a piece like Buddy Hield as well.
Drummond re-signs for little.
Gasol stays his 2nd year and doesn't retire.

Run it back, with a full training camp and a healthy roster.
Hope they all play well.
Get to the trade deadline healthy, package more players if need be for a reputable player. Dennis or Harrell would be the most sought after in this scenario.
