Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers won’t have lottery picks for at least the foreseeable future, so they couldn’t offer Phoenix a top pick.

But if you’re the Lakers, and Booker suddenly becomes available, it’s not a stretch to suggest anyone not named LeBron James or Anthony Davis can be acquired.

The Lakers can build an offer around Kyle Kuzma, plus multiple other players and picks. Would it be enough to entice Phoenix? Maybe not, especially as the Suns would have to face reality that their former star would be a Laker.

But the Lakers should put all their chips on the table (again, minus LeBron and Davis) if it means there’s a chance to acquire Booker.
