Lakers predicted to trade Jarred Vanderbilt for $298M future Hall of Famer in monster 4-team deal
The Los Angeles Lakers are in need of another shooter if possible. In this potential mega deal, they land a four-time NBA champion.
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly in discussions to trade Jarred Vanderbilt for a $298 million future Hall of Famer, a potential four-team deal. The Lakers are looking to bolster their roster before the season kicks off, with Luka Doncic as their top priority. Thompson, a five-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer, has expressed a desire to compete for a championship and play on a team with playoff aspirations.
If the Lakers successfully complete the trade, they would be adding a proven veteran presence alongside Doncic and Austin Reaves. The proposed deal would see the Lakers sending Vanderbilt and Moritz Wagner to the Trail Blazers, while the Mavericks would receive Thompson and a second-round pick. The Blazers would also be sending Vit Crejci and another second-round pick to Dallas.
This proposed trade could give the Lakers elite perimeter shooting and move on from Vanderbilt's contract.
