Assuming that ends up being the case, we rank eight All-Star trade candidates from least to most plausible for the Lakers.
Honorable mention: Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors
7. Mikal Bridges, Brooklyn Nets
6. Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns
5. Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers
4. Darius Garland, Cleveland Cavaliers
3. Dejounte Murray, Atlanta Hawks
2. Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors
1. Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks
My ranking:
8. Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks
7. Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns
6. Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors
5. Darius Garland, Cleveland Cavaliers
4. Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors
3. Mikal Bridges, Brooklyn Nets
2. Dejounte Murray, Atlanta Hawks
1. Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers
I personally would drop Green and Thompson. Perhaps KD would be a fit along with Hartenstein.
