Golden State Warriors Receive: F Rui Hachimura, G/F Max Christie, C Mo Bamba 2029 First-Round Pick (Swap – LAL) 

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F/C Draymond Green 

After all, the Lakers would miss both Vanderbilt and Beasley. They shouldn’t miss Christie too much. 

They will miss Hachimura. He’s been a revelation since joining the Lakers. Still, he’s not nearly as productive of a player as Green. 

With that in mind, he’d be heading to the Warriors in a sign-and-trade here. In all likelihood, Hachimura will command a decent price as a free agent – but not nearly on the same level as Green’s next extension. 

Of course, that’s not all the Warriors are receiving here. They’re also getting a distant pick swap from an aging contender.
