Imagining Every NBA Team's Top 3 Trade Targets https://t.co/90QYNsRHSC

Los Angeles Lakers
Kyrie Irving, PG, Dallas Mavericks
LeBron James has heaped nothing but praise on his former teammate over the past few years. If there was any sort of indication that Irving was unhappy in Dallas, the Lakers should check on his asking price, especially since Irving can become an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
Irving, James and Anthony Davis would be an incredible Big 3 and provide closure on what was an unhappy ending for the former Cleveland Cavaliers teammates.
LaMelo Ball, PG, Charlotte Hornets
If the Hornets appear headed for another lost season and really want to dive into the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes, trading Ball would certainly increase their tanking efforts.
Showtime would officially be back in Los Angeles with Ball, the most entertaining passer in the NBA today. He’s also a talented scorer (23.9 points per game last season) who would take a ton of offensive pressure off of James.
Darius Garland, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers
Garland, like James and Davis, is a Klutch client who would bring some stability to the point guard position with the Lakers.
The 24-year-old is a terrific passer who would also benefit off open three-point looks when James operates with the ball.
