If Lakers really want Deron they'd have to renounce the rights to Kendall or some other dude and their salary expectations. Which gives them about $27M to play with and keep Nash, Kobe and Sacre and maybe a few others. It would give Lakers ability to take his contract and bring Nets under tax. (all of this is quick reading and math, so I not sure what's really what). Lakers wouldn't have to give any players.
Doubt it happens, but we're talking NBA management here.
