Lakers just gained golden trade ticket if Trae Young rumors are true

If the Atlanta Hawks and Trae Young are truly working on a trade, then the Los Angeles Lakers could be in a position to benefit. Not by trading for Young himself, but by acting as a third team in a potential deal. If they can find a way to send out expiring salary to a team that would rather clear cap space, they could add some intriguing role players to their rotation.

The Washington Wizards have been reported as the primary team showing interest, but a bunch of other teams could make sense, too. If the Sacramento Kings wanted a shake-up, perhaps they would pursue a deal.
