These two teams have been two of the best in the Western Conference for over two decades. Both the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs have rich histories of winning. For one, they are still there while the other is looking to get back to prominence.
The Lakers are coming off in NBA title and have a great chance of repeating this season. They made moves in the offseason to improve their lineup while signing both Anthony Davis and LeBron James to extensions.
The franchise has expressed interest in continuing to improve by potentially adding another star to their roster. There are some names on the block but they can look to the San Antonio Spurs for the player.
DeMar DeRozan is one of the biggest names on the NBA trade block and has been since the beginning of the offseason. With regular season games having begun, DeRozan is still in San Antonio but this could change soon. He opted in for his $27.7 million final-year player-option for this season. DeRozan was allegedly unhappy in San Antonio, which is where the NBA trade rumors began.
If this is true, it would benefit the San Antonio Spurs to send him away immediately. The Los Angeles Lakers could be the perfect NBA trade destination for DeMar DeRozan.
