Why This Trade Would Benefit The Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers do not need to make any more moves if they want to repeat as NBA champions. Their roster is good enough led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis. They are interested in becoming the next great dynasty and could look to add another star if they feel the need.
If this deal is made, the Lakers would have to sign DeMar DeRozan to an extension. Montrezl Harrell and Dennis Schroder are a lot to give up for a player who appears to be short-term acquisitions that would need to be traded to add a big contract. DeRozan likely would be interested in signing an extension with the Lakers.
This would give the team a big three moving forward. DeRozan is still one of the top midrange scorers in the NBA. He would bring a different dynamic to the Lakers on the offensive end alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
The Lakers are a team that likes to make the big move. We have seen them within the franchise in recent years and they can continue the trend by making this deal with San Antonio.
