I would love this move not sure how it gets done. I’m not sure the Lakers have the assets to do this trade.

The Lakers are in need of retooling this summer, but if you ask most Lakers fans, trading guard Russell Westbrook should be the first action item. Some of LA's rabid fanbase has now set their sights on the team somehow acquiring free agent All-Star Zach LaVine.

Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus, who knows the NBA salary cap backwards and forwards, cut right to the chase in a recent article discussing the prospect of LaVine playing for the Lakers next year.

"Even if LaVine wanted Chicago to facilitate the move, would Los Angeles have the means to get a deal done under the complex rules of the collective bargaining agreement? The answer is a soft yes. It's possible but very difficult."

He then went on to describe the only feasible way that LaVine could land in LA.

"The only real solution would be a sign-and-trade, which presents different issues, most notably an approximate $155.7 million hard spending limit for the 2022-23 season. With just James, Davis and LaVine under contract, the Lakers would only have $36.6 million to flesh out the remainder of the roster. Keeping Westbrook and his $47.1 million is a non-starter."

Good Article about the Zach Lavine situation on Sports Illustrated.

Could of happen maybe last year when lakers still had some assets but the Westbrook trade took everything from them. The only thing they have to offer is Westbrook THT and every draft pick they have. That package only gets you mediocre players if that, definitely not all-stars.

Why would Lavine want to go from a playoff team to a lottery team?

I like Lavine playing off Holiday in a Bucks uni... but I think he stays with Chicago.

To become second fiddle scapegoat

He's not a winning player so I would love for them to do this. Just get rid of Westbrook first.

Stupid retard LeTiny doesn’t realise he’s washed and can’t be carried like the heat days

Just another typical day of the media obsessing over the Lakers and proposing hypothetical trades that will obviously never happen. How many times did we hear that Giannis, Bradley Beal, or Damian Lilard will be a Laker?
