The Perfect Trade Target For The Los Angeles Lakers
Los Angeles will search high and low for roster upgrades this offseason. They won’t have much spending power to use on free agents, so they will have to hit on some trades. They are planning on using Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, and a first-round pick to try and upgrade the roster.
They will also try and part ways with Russell Westbrook. Even if it means taking back long-term money, it is something they have to consider doing. They would be doing a disservice to the franchise by not doing all they can to move him.
Checking in on trade talks they had before the trade deadline makes sense. Engaging the New York Knicks in trying to acquire Cam Reddish would be a good idea, adding some youth to the roster with upside. Reddish, in theory, is a good fit skill-wise even if he hasn’t shown he can do it consistently.
Los Angeles is planning to contend again, so they should be targeting established players they know they can count on. That is why the Indiana Pacers make for a perfect trade partner for the Los Angeles Lakers with Malcolm Brogdon being the target.
