1. Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls may not have the best potential fit for the Los Angeles Lakers, but they do have a great one. Small forward Jimmy Butler has seemingly had tensions with his current organization, possibly leading to a trade down the line. Although Butler has not been rumored as much as George, he still has had his fair share of the Lakers rumors.
Jordan Clarkson would be a perfect fit on the Chicago Bulls and would be exactly what the organization needs. Last offseason the team attempted to piece together several past-prime stars to create a contender. Dwayne Wade and Rajon Rondo are past their prime, not to mention that their play styles and personalities seemingly didn’t mesh together alongside Butler.

The Bulls need a resurgence, they need to get back to the drawing board, bring in some young and developing players, and look to tomorrow, not today. Chicago will make it nowhere by patchworking a roster together, instead, they need unity; unity that could only occur with a young core.
Clarkson could be the spark to this transformation. Rondo is an unrestricted free agent so there is a hole at point guard and Dwayne Wade can opt out of his contract, thus creating a potential hole to fill at shooting guard.
Regardless of what role the Bulls would use Clarkson in it is apparent that this organization needs a nice shake up. A package of Clarkson and some future draft picks would be the perfect thing for the Bulls to part ways with Jimmy Butler.

Overall, out of every Lakers player, I would not be surprised to see Jordan Clarkson go first. Lucky for Clarkson, there are some good fits for him out there, with these five being the best.
