Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Michael Porter Jr.
Denver Nuggets Receive: F/C Pascal Siakam, G Russell Westbrook
Toronto Raptors Receive: G Jamal Murray, F/C Zeke Nnaji, G Davon Reed, 2026 First-Round Pick (Swap – LAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2029 First-Round Pick (DEN)
On the subject of fantasy, this proposal certainly falls under that umbrella. This is not likely to happen this summer.
Still, and once again, this is the National Basketball Association. Make assumptions at your own peril. Any one of these teams could justify this swap.
The Denver Nuggets are unlikely to value Russell Westbrook. He’ll probably hit the buyout market following this exchange. His NBA future remains unclear, but it isn’t the Nuggets’ concern.
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors get a great deal here. If they decline this package, it’s because they’re not entertaining Siakam trades in the first place. They get a younger All-Star in Murray, a young two-way, stretch big in Nnaji, and three first-round picks.

With all that being said, the Lakers could be apprehensive about parting with two first-round picks to land a player as risky as Porter Jr. as well. In that event, these sides will need another third team to make a deal happen.
