it'd be different if AD was open in terms of where he wanted to go - but being that he's so specific with where he'll sign (Lakers) - nobody is going to give more talent than what the Lakers can offer.

Lakers shouldn't offer the house - but shipping away Kuz, Zo, Zu and some picks should get it done. If not? I'd say stick w/ the core, call the Pels' bluff, and then offer them a lesser package next year once they realize that nobody is going to offer them the goods for one-year of AD w/ one foot already out the door.
