The Los Angeles Lakers have one of the biggest NBA superstars, LeBron James, on their roster. They have also added depth to the back and front court by re-signing the core players.
It won’t be difficult for them to contend in the NBA 2023-24 Season. Here are the top 3 trades they could make to increase their chances of winning the Western Conference championship. Have a look!
Top 3 Star Players that Lakers Could Target This Season
1. Damian Lillard
Damian Lillard might not seem the best option for the Los Angeles Lakers, but he would give his all to win the title.
The star guard wanted to join a team and at least contend in the league, and the Portland Trail Blazers don’t seem to be doing this, at least this season.
If Lillard lands in the Lakers, James and him can be an ideal duo the Lakers can form. James has appreciated Lillard for his performances multiple times.
James said:
“Give me Lillard and I’ll show you how appreciated he’ll be.”
By sending Lillard to the Lakers, the Trail Blazers will receive Davis, a solid young player.
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a dream player for any team. He has recently expressed his desire to be traded to a team that contends the league.
The Milwaukee Bucks don’t seem to a contenders for the next season, which is the major reason the “Greek Freak” wants a trade.
Antetokounmpo is a superstar player and has the utmost respect for LeBron James. He is just 27 years old and has been named 2-time NBA MVP and 7-time All-Star.
3. Jayson Tatum
Jayson Tatum is a 25-year-old, potential superstar player, ideal for the Lakers. He idolizes the great superstar Kobe Bryant. If the Lakers acquire him, they will trade Davis to the Boston Celtics in exchange.
