This is all just speculation, but I imagine if he got KG
to take $100 million less for the sake of the team, he

No, he doesn't.

Chances are slim, period.  But the only scenario in
which chances aren't practically nil is where KG
asks specifically to go to LA, and Taylor accommodates
him.

The other issue is that the receiving team has to
cough up an awfully big check within 30 days of any
trade.
