Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Aaron Holiday

Indiana Pacers Receive: Alex Caruso, 2022 1st Round Pick

This trade involves two guards who could benefit from a change of scenery. The Los Angeles Lakers would also have to part ways with a first round pick, but it would be near the bottom of the first round so it is not a huge loss.

Los Angeles will continue to build depth by acquiring Aaron Holiday in the backcourt. They would send away Alex Caruso, who has been a bench player for them but has not taken the next step up offensively. Caruso has been used as a defensive player and a spark off the bench.

Let’s take a look and see how this deal with benefit both the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers in the upcoming NBA season.
