Confirmed deal : Blockbuster Trade Idea Jerami Grant And Robert Williams III To The Los Angeles Lakers

 

The Lakers can consult the Portland Trail Blazers, a team on the rebuild, for a chance to acquire Jerami Grant and Robert Williams III to build one of the most complete teams in the Western Conference. Let’s present the proposed trade details and also dive into why this will work for the Lakers and their championship goal this year.

 

For one, the Lakers might need a third option who can consistently come up with 20 points on a given night and play alongside Davis and James at a high level. Secondly, the Lakers have been in the market for a capable starting center who can allow Anthony Davis to start at power forward, his preferred position. While we have speculated on the best potential targets for the Lakers when it comes to the center position, there is a way the Lakers can acquire an impactful center and at the same time, add a third option who is All-Star caliber

 

Rui Hachimura, who is averaging 12.0 points and 5.3 rebounds on 44.2% shooting from three, brings a blend of size and scoring versatility to Portland. As a 26-year-old forward, Hachimura fits well into Portland’s timeline and could thrive in a larger offensive role. Max Christie and Jalen Hood-Schifino, both promising young players, add depth and potential to the Blazers’ roster. Christie, a 6’6″ wing, has shown flashes of three-and-D potential, while Hood-Schifino is a playmaker with upside as a backup guard.
