Lakers predicted to swap Jarred Vanderbilt for $46M ex-Warriors NBA champion in 3-team mega deal
The Los Angeles Lakers still have some needs to address. In this deal, they trade two bench players for two major positional needs.
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considering a three-team trade to trade Jarred Vanderbilt for Jonathan Kuminga and other players. The Lakers need to secure a reliable center and a starting power forward before the new season begins. Jonathan Kuminga, a $46 million ex-Warriors NBA champion, is the primary target for the Lakers.
They are also monitoring the market for other big men, including Walker Kessler, Kevon Looney, and Thybulle. In the proposed deal, the Lakers would receive Myles Turner from the Hawks, along with three first-round picks. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks would get Corey Kispert, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jake LaRavia, and a top eight protected 2029 first-round pick.
Los Angeles would send Jericho Sims and Kuminga to the Bucks. This deal would help the Lakers address their biggest needs and compete in the Western Conference.
