Not only would they improve by adding Kyrie, but the subtraction of Westbrook will have just as big of an impact. Key questions are:
1) Can Kyrie get through the season without off-court drama and remain healthy?
2) Can the Lakers fill out their hollow roster with quality vets?
The other facet of the trade is, vets should be much more interested in joining a Lakers team that has moved on from the Westbrook fiasco, and they could convince themselves that Kyrie makes them a legit contender.
All that being said, I think given how many games AD and Kyrie are likely to miss (LBJ also gets sidelined with a few injuries a year now), their range is anywhere from 33-52. I?d probably bet in the middle at 42-40.
Thoughts?
