For once, a star is on the trade block at the Los Angeles Lakers aren't involved. Trae Young and his team are working with the Atlanta Hawks on a resolution, and that more than likely means a trade before next month's deadline. The Lakers, of course, have sat this one out — their backcourt of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves is more than satisfactory.
One of the teams consistently tied with Young is the Washington Wizards. The Lakers would be okay with that for a few reasons. Firstly, it would keep a star player out of the Western Conference.
