Cavaliers trade starter for Lakers playoff star in LSL pitch

The Cleveland Cavaliers want to get where the Los Angeles Lakers have been. Four seasons ago they won the NBA Championship, and this past year they made it to the Conference Finals, led of course by LeBron James. Since The King left Cleveland, the Cavs haven’t made it further than last year’s five-game First Round exit.

The clear-cut advantage that the Cavs have is a much younger roster, with their stars early in their primes; the Lakers have an injury-plagued big man in Anthony Davis and a LeBron James old enough to get discount lunches at the local diner.
