FOUND: Nba trade deadline deals we want to see happen | Mind Blowing Facts

NBA James Wiseman Lakers Alec Burks LeBron James Zach LaVine LA Anunoby Caruso Goran Dragić

With the NBA trade deadline less than a week away, the Crossover staff explores potential deals they would like to see happen.

Howard Beck: Zach LaVine and Goran Dragić to the Lakers, for Russell Westbrook and protected first-round picks in 2027 and ’29

Let's be clear: There is no single trade that will turn the Lakers into undisputed contenders. But that can’t be the standard for making a deal (or for trading those picks). The Lakers can’t keep squandering what’s left of LeBron James’s late prime. They need to at least ensure themselves a playoff berth, and give James and Anthony Davis—still one of the best tandems in the league—a chance to make a deep run. In a year with no clear favorite in the West, a James-Davis-LaVine lineup absolutely has a shot.
