Confirmed deal : Lakers Land $160M Star, $100M Guard in Epic New Trade Proposal

 

 

The Los Angeles Lakers have been trying to put themselves in the best possible place to compete within the Western Conference. With the West being so loaded, the 13-12 Lakers have fallen behind in the standings a little bit.

 

But, armed with its All-Star duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Los Angeles feels good about their chances against any opposing team. However, if the Lakers want to truly compete for a title this season, they will need to likely add more talent to the roster.

 

 

The Lakers are expected to be one of the more active teams in the league before the trade deadline as they gauge the market. It will be up to general manager Rob Pelinka to get creative in putting a deal together, considering the limited options that the Lakers have.

 

 

Blazers receive: Guard D’Angelo Russell, forward Rui Hachimura, guard Jalen Hood-Schifino, forward Jarred Vanderbilt, guard Max Christie, guard Gabe Vincent, a 2026 pick swap, a 2027 second-round pick, and a 2030 second-round pick
