In this NBA trade scenario from HoopsHabit’s Jack Simone, the Los Angeles Lakers would make a key change to their supporting cast by acquiring Bryn Forbes from the San Antonio Spurs.
In order to land Forbes, the Lakers would be moving DeAndre Jordan, Kent Bazemore, a future first-round pick, and a future second-round pick.
Forbes is having a decent season for the Spurs. He’s posting averages of 8.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.8 assists while converting 42.3% from deep on 3.2 attempts per game. Keep in mind, he is also coming off three consecutive seasons averaging double-figure scoring.
Forbes knocked down three-pointers at a 45.2% clip on 4.9 attempts per game just a season ago with the Milwaukee Bucks. He’s even had a campaign launching 6.0 takes from deep on a nightly basis.
