Lakers Rumors: Possible Trade Packages for Larry Nance Jr.
By Jason Reed
Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr. has been a bright spot in an otherwise dull season. However, what could the Lakers get for Nance according to these Lakers rumors?
The Lakers are destined to deal somebody this offseason. With hopes of drafting UCLA guard Lonzo Ball and bringing in a star such as Gordon Hayward, the Lakers are going to need to free up some room. The logical choice would be to get rid of Luol Deng and Timofey Mozgov in any way they can, as difficult as it will be.
Besides that, Jordan Clarkson has been rumored to be the first one to go, and the Lakers could always explore the option of trading away one of their young big three. This trade, however, is completely different as they are trading a promising young bench guy perhaps hoping that other teams will over evaluate him.
The Lakers are doing well at the power forward spot, they have young stud Julius Randle starting and Larry Nance Jr. providing a spark off of the bench. However, if the Lakers want to pursue UCLA freshman TJ Leaf in the draft, or bring in Blake Griffin, there will be an overflow at the power forward position.
Of course, both of those moves are totally hypothetical and chances are the Lakers will be content with the power forward spot and pursue stars in other areas. But, if the Lakers were to get this time of deal done, Nance would be the first one out the door.
Therefore, according to the trade finder within NBA 2K17, here are three potential trade packages the Lakers could receive for Larry Nance Jr.
