Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Carsen Edwards

Boston Celtics Receive: Alfonzo McKinnie, 2023 2nd Round Pick (via LAL)

When putting together a championship roster, it is important to have depth and every position. Teams like to have young options for their franchise to develop within their system.

Carsen Edwards came into the league as one of the top shooters in college basketball. He is a bit undersized, but has a high ceiling if put in the right situation. He would be on his way to Los Angeles in this deal in exchange for Alfonzo McKinnie and a second-round pick.

It’s not a huge trade, but it is one that could make sense for both teams involved. Small tweaks to the roster can do a lot of good.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade benefits both teams in the upcoming season.
