The Los Angeles Lakers put forth impressive efforts this season to clinch the championship. However, their journey came to an end in the first round of the playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Following this outcome, the Lakers aim to acquire key players around the league.
To address their center vacancy, Deandre Ayton has reportedly agreed to sign with the Lakers. Additionally, the Lakers have shown interest in Andrew Wiggins from the Miami Heat. However, reports indicate that the Heat are demanding a substantial trade package from the Lakers in potential talks for Wiggins.
“I think Wiggins is the best wing available realistically w/ the Lakers assets. I wouldn’t want to give up Knecht & a first for Wiggins—but I’d give up either one. If you could do Rui, Maxi & Knecht or Rui, Maxi & a first for Wiggins, I’d do either one of those trades,” Jovan Buha said in his recent podcast.
