Lakers reportedly among three teams interested in trade for Nets forward
The Los Angeles Lakers bombed in each endeavor to stir things up during NBA free office. Yet, in the wake of whiffing on names like Klay Thompson, they’re purportedly still prepared to swing endlessly.
Albeit the establishment was stuck principally after various players selected into their choices, the most recent gossip joins them to Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson. As per Brian Lewis of the New York Post, they aren’t the only ones with interest. Two different groups are allegedly intrigued, and three more are thought of “surprisingly strong contender” choices to obtain the 28-year-old.
“While the Rulers, Enchantment and Lakers are intrigued, one late report guaranteed the Prods, Raptors or Fighters could be a “surprisingly strong contender,” Lewis composed.
Johnson would seem OK for the Lakers as the 6-foot-8 forward is areas of strength for a shooter, thumping down 40% or a greater amount of his endeavors in two of the last three seasons. The solitary special case was last year, in which Johnson shot 39.1 percent from past the curve with the Nets.
While Johnson’s scoring was down somewhat last season contrasted with his most memorable stretch in Brooklyn, 25 games in 2022-23 after he was gained from the Phoenix Suns, his potential gain is certain after 83 standard season games with the establishment. More than 100 games in the beyond two years, he found the middle value of 14.3 places, 4.4 bounce back and 2.2 helps while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from profound.
The unavoidable issue comes down to what the Lakers can put on the table for Johnson on the off chance that there’s an offering battle with the Sacramento Lords or Orlando Wizardry. Or on the other hand, so far as that is concerned, even the San Antonio Prods, who Lewis refered to by means of NBA examiner Jake Winbach, could offer Keldon Johnson and draft pay in a possible arrangement.
The Lakers will probably take action, while possibly not before the season, then with maybe some time to spare this impending season. Nonetheless, who their essential objective will be and the amount they proposition will stay controversial subjects.
