The Los Angeles Lakers believe they are the center of the universe and that teams like the Pacers exist to make them better.

In the wake of the Myles Turner extension, the Lakers are grasping for straws at how to make their team better, only to slowly realize that they are stuck for a long long time in a downward trajectory of a sold future.

The Lakers scoffed at the idea of sending two future first round picks to the Pacers for both Buddy Hield and Myles Turner, and now, that deal looks like it would have been the steal of the century. Both Hield and Turner are playing lights out. And now that Turner has signed an extension the Lakers media doesn’t know what to do.

They are officially out of answers.

However, this week, one Lakers media site proposed three trades that could still happen between the Lakers and Pacers (because the whole universe revolves around the Lakers and what they need). And we’ve decided to grade each and every one of them.

So get ready for a good laugh and grab your popcorn, because we are going to have quite a bit to chuckle about with these trade ideas.
