The Los Angeles Lakers may not have the NBA's richest collection of trade assets, but if they pooled their best resources, they could put a formidable offer on the table. And while they'd love for that to land someone like two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, the budget can't actually stretch that far.
It could, however, address this club's most pressing defensive needs on the perimeter. That would just require cutting ties with ascending star Austin Reaves, a subtraction that would surely have the fanbase up in arms, particularly if it came without the addition of an established star.
