Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Dejounte Murray

San Antonio Spurs Receive: Dennis Schroder, 2023 2nd Round Pick

This would be a relatively straightforward trade package for both the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs. It would be almost a pure point guard for point guard swap featuring both Dejounte Murray and Dennis Schroder.

Both Murray and Schroder are set to earn comparable salaries during the 2020-21 NBA season. The Lakers will pay Schroder around $15.5M and he is on an expiring contract. Meanwhile, Murray will command $14.2M and has three seasons on his current deal.
