With a strong start to this NBA season, the Lakers could be motivated to attempt a major trade on the market. We actually know more, with the name of a star already mentioned in the City of Angels.
Despite a downturn during the road trip, the Lakers are doing pretty well at the moment with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. JJ Redick’s men showed encouraging things, especially Anthony Davis, all without a full squad. Suffice to say that the supporters have hope for the future.
The season is still long unfortunately, and it is difficult to know if the Purple and Gold will really have the weapons to compete with the Nuggets or the other teams in the Western Conference. Davis sometimes seems a little lonely and some people don’t want to ask too much of him. LeBron Jameswhich is slowly approaching its 40th birthday.
A major reinforcement for the Lakers this season?
However, and if the franchise really wants to give itself the best chance, a trade during the financial year NBA remains a real possibility. The interior sector appears to be important to the organization, especially since Davis refuses to play center. At least the majority of the time. But the recruit mentioned in Los Angeles perhaps changes the situation.
According to the tipster site Bovada, the Lakers are considered today as the favorites to sign Zion Williamson in the event of his departure.
@TheDunkCentral : “The Lakers are now the favorites to welcome Zion Williamson if the Pelicans decide to trade him. »
And let’s say it’s not impossible, not after Zion’s injury, who will miss several weeks of competition. A habit for New Orleans, which should use this season to definitively decide on the fate of its player.
Suffice to say that the news of his injury is quite worrying for the future. The Lakers are considered the favorites ahead of Houston or the Clippers, but they will have interesting assets. Enough to convince the supporters? Some people doubt it about X.
@rj_trading1 : “Why would anyone want a player who can’t stay healthy? »
@TrendInfoNow : “Zion with the Lakers, that would be an absolute disaster. He wouldn’t be able to handle the franchise’s media. I don’t see where he could find his place in the lineup either. There are better options for the Lakers on the market. »
@CookedByRiley0 : “They are favorites for everything. »
Zion Williamson with the Lakers? The rumor is established, even if it is far from unanimous. The player is struggling to establish himself in the NBA at the moment, but the risk remains interesting. We will know more when he returns from injury.
