Lakers Rumors: Three possible salary dump trades for the Lakers
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to free up cap space for potential superstars. According to the latest Lakers rumors, who may the Lakers use as a salary dump?
It is safe to say that the Los Angeles Lakers have big plans for the future. With basketball legend turned financial guru Magic Johnson now calling the shots, the Lakers have the guidance and trust in the front office to help them end this historic drought. A four-year playoff drought may seem long, but for a team that had only missed five playoffs since 1947, it is.
However, the future is looking bright in Los Angeles. The Lakers have a solid duo of Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram to build around, with many superstars tied up in Lakers Rumors. Whether it is Paul George, LeBron James or Kyrie Irving – everyone seemingly is somehow tied to the Lakers.
Granted, this could just be speculation. We all know that sports fan are perhaps the most irrational group of supporters ever. There always is the realists amongst us, but for the most part, everyone wants to think that their team is either the best or are guaranteed to become the best. Again, for the Lakers, this could just be the circumstance.
However, with the massive market in Los Angeles, there also is a very strong chance that one of these superstars heads to Los Angeles to turn the fortunes around. I would never doubt Magic Johnson, as he has already been very active in improving the team.
Therefore, with the Lakers future plans and the latest Lakers rumors in mind, let’s take a look at three potential salary dump trades the Lakers can perform.
