Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Derrick Rose
Detroit Pistons Receive: Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green, 2020 1st Round Pick
In this hypothetical, the Los Angeles Lakers acquire Derrick Rose while sending Kyle Kuzma and Danny Green to the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons also acquire the Lakers’ 1st round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, which is No. 28 overall.
In this particular trade package, the Lakers would send out roughly $16.5 million in salary while taking on $7.3 million. A move of this kind would clear roughly $9.2 million in cap space.
This trade opens up more of an opportunity for Kuzma in Detroit, while the Lakers land the veteran point guard that they’d need in the event Rajon Rondo were to depart in free agency.
