Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal

Yes, it absolutely would. Anunoby would be the perfect addition to this Lakers squad. 

For a long time, the problem with the Lakers has been that they featured too much playmaking and not enough floor spacing. Anunoby helps a lot in that regard. In fact, he’s one of the best 3-and-D wings in the NBA. 

Imagine an Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Anunoby frontcourt. That’s a sufficiently spaced-out group that Westbrook should thrive with. He’ll have open driving and passing lanes all night. 

That’s before even mentioning the defensive upside of that group. The Lakers could deploy a switch-heavy scheme that would make life exceedingly difficult for opponents.
