The Indiana Pacers want two future unprotected first round picks from the Los Angeles Lakers so that the Lakers could add Myles Turner and Buddy Hield and it looks like the Lakers just aren’t willing to do that and now I feel like the Lakers need to shift their focus to a trade with the Utah Jazz or maybe they’ll just wait things out either until the trade deadline or till the 2023 off-season.
Where Russell Westbrook will become a free agent now what I think is interesting is that if the Los Angeles Lakers do wait it out and Westbrook does become a free agent in 2023 they will have an opportunity to have quite a bit of cap space they would still have those pick slabs that all sounds good but one thing that I question is will the Lakers be able to make good use of that cap space and those picks because they will essentially be left with a few players on the roster.
And they’ll need to fill out the entirety of the team, and they won’t have too many players who could be on contracts that could easily be traded maybe they could make a big move using some of their picks and their cap space which could allow them to add a star but I just think it could be more difficult than it might look right now for the Lakers to build a contender using that cap space and those picks in the future.
The Los Angeles Lakers did recently move their media availability to Monday of this upcoming week and that has people speculating if a trade is coming for Lakers, it doesn’t look like a Myles Turner and Buddy yield trade is realistic for the Lakers at this point considering the fact that the Pacers are planning on keeping Myles Turner going into the season but I think Lakers needs a trade to make their roster fit together better especially after signing Dennis Schroder adding to their already crowded rotation of guards.
I think trading for cam reddish could be a good move for La, so they could add some additional Wing depth but if you’re you’re looking at potential big Russell Westbrook trades are there any moves where the Lakers could trade away Russell Westbrook while not giving up to Future first round picks a move like this would be great for LA but would the Utah Jazz be willing to make this type of trade I’m not really sure now maybe a different trade idea could be involving the Lakers the Jazz,
But the Lakers would add some additional Wings in Bojan Bogdanovic and Jae Crowder they would also add Malik Beasley who could space the floor for them but maybe the Lakers will wait and see what’s going on later on in the season towards the trade deadline because there are a lot of teams that are in the mix for the playoffs and ultimately by the trade deadline we could see some teams fall out of the mix,
And they could be looking to trade some of their players but for now training camp is coming up for the Los Angeles Lakers they currently have one open roster spot which they could have players compete for in training camp.
