  "account": "The Los Angeles Lakers are set to trade for a $88 million rim-running forward to reunite with Luka Dončić, as they start the season with a strong performance. Dončić has made history by recording six consecutive games with impressive stats, but the team is still seeking depth in the frontcourt. The Lakers are monitoring the market for big men, including a potential trade for Dallas Mavericks' PJ Washington, who had a successful partnership with Dončić in the past. Washington's $88 million contract and ability to run the floor would significantly enhance the Lakers' offensive firepower.",
  "summary": "The Los Angeles Lakers need some depth in their lineup before they burn out Walker Kessler too early in the season. In this potential deal, they get one of Luka Doncic's favorite former teammates.",
