Lakers Trade Rumors

Lakers Trade Option: Hield or Bogdanovic?

LAL receive:
(Buddy Hield / Bojan Bogdanovic)

(IND / DET) receive:
2023 1st Round Pick (#17)
Mo Bamba
Jarred Vanderbilt
Max Christie

Unfortunately, the Lakers have no other option but to run it back with LeBron and Davis next year. With that being said, I would be shocked if the 3 Lakers players listed are still on the roster by the start of the 2023/24 season.
Mo Bamba was essentially a non-factor for the Lakers even before his injury; his lack of interior defense makes him unplayable behind Davis.
And for Vanderbilt, although beloved by Lakers fans, his horrible shooting led him to the bench down the stretch in these playoffs. With Reeves and Hachimura likely to re-sign, Vando might be the odd man out next year.
Not much needs to be said about Max Christie, adding him to the deal frees up slightly more cap space.

Now for Hield and Bogdanovic, both offer you a very similar package offensively. Adding good shooters around LeBron is a recipe for success, so either player would be a great fit. However, both players are not particularly great defenders, although Bogdanovic's size works to his advantage. It really comes down to personal preference for this trade.

Which trade would you pick: Pacers, Pistons, or neither?

All 3 players you mentioned will be on the roster next year unless a trade which would make sense for the other team happens. Lakers already attempted multiple times to trade for Bogdanovic and Hield and neither the Pistons nor the Pacers would do the deal. The Lakers had a chance at getting Hield for Kuzma but decided on Westbrook.

Can the Lakers and Dallas do a sign and trade?

LA: Irving
Dallas: Russell

01 Apr 2023 23:11:37
Yes they can. However Irving, Russell, Lakers and Mavericks would all have to agree on the deal and both teams would have to agree to pay what each player wants. Here is the problem Irving wants a 4 year max contract extension. The Lakers were reported only willing to go 2 years. So that's not going to work. It would make more sense for the Lakers to resign Russell, Hachimura, and Beasley than sign Irving at that price. If you are the Lakers do you want to commit 4 years $200M to Irving? I say no. However we will all find out what contract offers are available to him. Also in addition I think the Mavericks will want draft compensation included which the Lakers do not have much of.
