The Trade

Lakers Receive: Damian Lillard

Trail Blazers Receive: Danny Green, Kyle Kuzma, Alex Caruso, Quinn Cook, 2020 First-Round Pick, 2022 First-Round Pick

The trade seems like a difficult one for the Lakers to pull off. They would have to includes a number of draft picks and that number could be high given the fact that they will be picking late in the first round every year. It is unlikely that a team gives up five first-rounders like the Los Angeles Clippers did to acquire Paul George.

Some players that could be thrown into the deal include Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green, and Alex Caruso. Kuzma seems like a name that would have to be thrown into the deal. Avery Bradley is also under contract for one more season. But Danny Green could make the most sense.

A big three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Damian Lillard would be scary to watch.

Let’s take a look at why this deal could make sense for both teams involved.
