The Los Angeles Lakers could shake up the Western Conference if they made this trade.

With no obvious trade in sight, the team might have to think about alternative options. One option would be for the Lakers to move on from LeBron James. He’s still the team’s best player and appears to like being in Los Angeles. However, he’s going to be 38 next season and has dealt with more and more injuries every season. Perhaps the Lakers could try to trade him while he still has value. Sean Deveney of Heavy.com spoke to an Eastern Conference executive who believes that the Clippers could make sense as a trade destination for LeBron. “If LeBron wants to stay in L.A. they could swap him out for the Clippers. Remember, he met with the Clippers way back in 2010 when he was a free agent and a lot has changed, the Clippers are a different organization now,” the executive told Deveney.
