NBA insider Bobb Marks is proposing a blockbuster trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers
We already know that the Los Angeles Lakers are going to be linked to some of the biggest names on the NBA trade block. That’s a given with them existing in the North America’s second-largest media market, the history of the organization and LeBron James’ presence.
After losing in the first round of the NBA Playoffs to the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles needs to find a way to upgrade its roster. Of course, that starts with retaining King James. He has a player option for next season and could potentially hit NBA free agency.
But finding another top-end player to go with James and Anthony Davis has to be in the cards. It’s in this that the Lakers have been bandied about as a potential destination for everyone from Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell to Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors.
We now have another recommendation courtesy of ESPN NBA insider Bobby Marks. He’s proposing a blockbuster trade with Cleveland.
Proposed Los Angeles Lakers trade for Darius Garland.
As connected as any insider around the NBA, Marks proposed a two-for-one swap that would send Garland to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Lakers get: Darius Garland
Cleveland Cavaliers get: Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura.
