NBA executive links Lauri Markkanen to Lakers as part of ‘dream’ scenario: https://t.co/GYu9ucKI5W

“There are a few teams that, when you look at it, he is going to be their dream target,” the general manager told Heavy Sports. “The Lakers, you get a guy like him with Anthony Davis, and that’s perfect for both guys. The [New York] Knicks would love to get hold of him. The [Miami] Heat, again, put him with Bam [Adebayo] and that is the pair you want to build around, you can send Jimmy [Butler] wherever he wants.
“Just the floor-spacing aspect of it, it’s so valuable. He could make things easier on your stars.”
No player should be a higher priority for the Lakers than Laui. He’s literally the perfect fit for LeBron and AD now and for AD when LeBron retires. Reaves, 3 picks, 3 swaps, all unprotected. That’s what it would take and what Lauri would be worth imo.

Not a problem. Lauri w/b best possible third star for Lakers.
