NBA Trade Idea Sends Ex-Bulls Superstar to Los Angeles Lakershttps://www.si.com/nba/bulls/news/nba-trade-idea-sends-ex-bulls-superstar-to-los-angeles-lakers-01j7s47yx2rkIf an NBA superstar becomes involved in trade rumors, the Los Angeles Lakers will almost certainly be mentioned as a potential suitor. This is especially the case as LeBron James enters the final years of his NBA career, because the Lakers need to upgrade their roster in order to be considered a real threat in the Western Conference.
So true.
They need everything they can get to maximize Lebron's years while he still at LA because there's no assurance that suddenly he will be injured and his age will become a problem. So while he is this strong, they want to add more players that could help him out to gain the championship again.
Lakers receive: Jimmy Butler and Josh Richardson
Heat receive: D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2031 first-round pick
It's just an idea guys. It's not happening. Yet. It's up to the Miami Heat to make him available or not. I think he has a player option this coming year so Miami could offer him something good to avoid trading him or they could restart and try to deal with many teams.
There are a lot of teams eyeing for Butler. Warriors, Nuggets, Spurs, Rockets, and the Lakers. I think they will be tracking the Heat's movement until they decide on what is going to happen.
Where do you think Jimmy will land in case the Heat do not want him anymore?
