Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Mo Bamba

Orlando Magic Receive: Talen Horton-Tucker, Alex Caruso, Jared Dudley, 2023 2nd Round Pick, 2025 2nd Round Pick

Mo Bamba is the intriguing prospect going to the Los Angeles Lakers in this deal. He has struggled with injuries and COVID-19, which has prevented him from staying available and able to contribute to the Orlando Magic.

The ceiling is still high for the former Texas Longhorn and the future could be bright on a team like the Lakers. He has natural instincts as a shot blocker and he has physical intangibles that could be genuinely scary alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis if his skill-set develops.

The Lakers would have to part ways with some rotation players like Alex Caruso and Talen Horton-Tucker. Jared Dudley and two second-round picks would be the rest of the deal for Orlando.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade centered around Mo Bamba would benefits both the Lakers and Magic.
