Going over an NBA mock trade that sends Los Angeles Lakers’ star LeBron James to the Golden State Warriors in a three-team trade with the Brooklyn Nets, which includes Draymond Green getting moved to the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers continue to be mentioned in trade discussions ahead of February's deadline, and a new name has emerged as a Lakers target. The Lakers are monitoring Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, per The Stein Line's Jake Fischer.
“According to some of those NBA folks, the names that have been attached to the Lakers as potential trade targets are Dallas’ Naji Marshall, a former Doncic teammate, Cleveland’s De’Andre Hunter, Minnesota’s Donte DiVincenzo, and Sacramento’s Keon Ellis,” The LA Times’ Broderick Turner wrote Wednesday.
Steph Curry was ruled out of Tuesday’s matchup with the 76ers, which came as little surprise after the team diagnosed him with patellofemoral pain syndrome over the weekend. Known more commonly as “runner’s knee,” the only remedy for that soreness is rest.
