Proposed Lakers Trade for Bulls’ Coby White

Interesting trade for Lakers. They get a young, talented, volume 3-point shooting starting point guard replacement for D'Angelo Russell. Cost is high as they give up both picks. Options at point guard may be increasing for Lakers. https://t.co/m9dSsN3jXi pic.twitter.com/dngzJwi4N3

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to make a push to bring another championship to LA while Lebron is still playing at as high a level as he is. Anthony Davis isn’t getting any younger and after Austin Reeves, the Lakers don’t have anyone else that should be trusted to score consistently. Adding another high level player that is still only 24 that they can also build around for the future would be a home run.

For the Chicago Bulls, they are in need of a true rebuild and while it might make the most sense to most for that to start with Lavine and Vucevic being traded, White will be the easiest to trade and get the most return. It would be hard on the Bulls and Bulls fans to move him, but there are multiple reasons it could be a great move for the franchise moving forward.

Potential Trade:

Los Angeles Lakers:
-Coby White
-Torrey Craig

Chicago Bulls:
-Jarred Vanderbilt
-Jalen Hood-Schifino
-Maxwell Lewis
-2029 1st Round Pick
-2031 1st Round Pick
