It's almost like a rite of passage at this point for NBA role players to be attached to the Lakers and trade rumors. It's like, you know, you've arrived once you've been linked to the Lakers. But I'm not quite sure that there is. I would look at two guys in particular for me that seem to be realistic trade possibilities. in Walker Kessler and Cam Johnson.

I think if they were able to add either one of those or potentially both of them, depending on the ultimate asking prices, I mean, you could send a first to Utah and a first to Brooklyn. Those two players, I think, among what the Lakers need and who seems to be out there, I think those two could potentially be difference makers.

But I think the larger point with that is like, I don't see this as a one trade fixes.

everything situation, I think they have to make two separate moves. And the guy that they've been most closely linked to around the league has been Jonas Valanciunas. It's been the worst kept secret dating back to the summer when he was on LeBron's list of guys he was willing to take a pay cut for. Yeah, I was surprised by that.

Looking at the rest of the list, it was like Klay Thompson, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, and then Jonas Valanciunas.

But I also watched him in the regular season finale get played off the floor against the Lakers. And then they them do it again one game later in the playing tournament against the Pelicans. So I don't get how they could watch those two games and them attacking him in the pick and roll and attacking his defensive mobility. and then turn around and be like, we need this guy on our team.

I just don't get it. So I've personally been against the potential fit of Valanchunas. Like I get, they want a tough physical guy who could bang with Jokic in the post, but I would rather go for a guy like a Walker Kessler or even roll the dice with a guy like Robert Williams, where those guys are just better rim protectors, shop lockers, and have a bit more mobility defensively.
