Breaking: Within the next 24 hours, the Los Angeles Lakers will complete their double trade.
Assembling a knowledgeable coaching staff is a critical responsibility for the Los Angeles Lakers, given their new head coach JJ Redick has never worked on the bench. Due to a postponed coaching hire, this difficulty exacerbates their urgency and puts them at a disadvantage going into the summer, especially with the 2024 NBA Draft quickly approaching.
Despite the leadership of LeBron James and Anthony Davis (if James returns), the Lakers are far from contending for a title after an unfortunate first-round playoff defeat. James’s career is coming to an end, therefore general manager Rob Pelinka and his group must now concentrate on building a competitive lineup.
The Lakers are reportedly interested in guards Dejounte Murray and Collin Sexton, who are both well-known figures in trade talks. Murray had already piqued the Lakers’ attention, despite past attempts to sign him failing. Murray is believed to have links to both James and Davis due to their common representation. His impressive season-long numbers highlight the high price that will probably be associated with any deal that involves guard Austin Reaves, their 17th overall choice in the next draft, and other draft assets.
On the other hand, considering his youthful age of twenty-five and his consistent scoring ability, Sexton offers a more cost-effective choice, making him a desirable addition to the Lakers’ backcourt.
