Sad news: I can’t believe Lakers coach died in plane crash due…

Los Angeles Lakers reportedly open to trading 4 players to find LeBron James more helpThe Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly willing to part with four players in a trade this summer.Credit: Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY SportsTheLos Angeles Lakers must find a way this offseason to field a championship-caliber team. That was in no way the case during the 2023-24 campaign, with Los Angeles losing to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Sure, the first order of business is finding a head coach to replace the recently-fired Darvin Ham. After that, it’s all about roster construction for general manager Rob Pelinka and Co.

All of that starts with LeBron James and his contract situation. He’s set to opt out and potentially hit NBA free agency. While a return to Southern California is more than likely for King James, the onus is going to be on Los Angeles’ brass to prove it can field a winning team.

One player that has been bandied about as potential trade fodder heading out is guard Austin Reaves. Of those behind James and Anthony Davis on the Lakers’ pecking order, he’s the most valuable. Reaves’ four-year, $53.83 million contrract also helps out from a financial perspective.
