Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Victor Oladipo

Houston Rockets Receive: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kyle Kuzma, Alex Caruso, 2022 1st Round Pick

This trade would help the Houston Rockets continue their rebuild that was put into motion during the offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers have assets they would be able to send the Rockets in return for Victor Oladipo.

The Lakers could use another dynamic player that can get downhill and convert on pull-up jumpers. Oladipo could do precisely that alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the lineup.

Players like Kyle Kuzma would headline the deal. He is a young player who would be able to help Houston moving forward. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Alex Caruso are other pieces that were their depth. A first-round pick would top off the deal for the Houston Rockets.

Let’s take a look and see how the trade would benefit both sides and how it would impact their goals moving forward.
