Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Josh Okogie

Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: Alfonzo McKinnie, 2023 2nd Round Pick, 2025 2nd Round Pick

Josh Okogie would be on his way to the Los Angeles Lakers to provide some depth on the perimeter alongside Anthony Davis and LeBron James. This is not a deal that would shake things up completely but it would continue to improve Los Angeles’ roster in hopes of earning another NBA title.

Alfonzo McKinnie is a player who could be used as a trade piece for the Lakers. They would also be able to send second-round NBA Draft capital to the Minnesota Timberwolves, which would not impact the franchise much.
