LeBronを獲得するには、Sunsは同等のサラリーを放出しなければならず、おそらく複数の選手とドラフト指名権が関与するでしょう。Jusuf Nurkic、Grayson Allen、あるいはBradley Beal（最近獲得されたばかりなので可能性は低いですが）のような選手が、どのパッケージにも含まれる必要があるでしょう。Lakersは、Sunsが現在のロスター構成にすでに多額を投資している将来のドラフト1巡目指名権を含む、かなりの見返りを要求するでしょう。この動きは、Phoenixの将来の柔軟性と深さを著しく制限するでしょう。詳細については、Aaron Gordon to Rockets: A High-Flying Tactical Fit?に関する記事をご覧ください。

James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers (2022): While not a championship-winning move, it showed the complexity of integrating a ball-dominant star mid-season and the financial commitments involved. The tactical fit was debated, and chemistry took time to develop.
