Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Kevin Porter Jr. 

Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: Jared Dudley, 2023 2nd Round Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers are desperate to get rid of Kevin Porter Jr. This has been made clear with the recent rumors that they would be willing to release him. This is where the trade could come in to play in a team like the Lakers could take advantage.

Jared Dudley is a veteran player to go to the Cavaliers in return. Meanwhile, Porter Jr. would join the Lakers and give them a new dynamic on both ends alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

It would be interesting to see the change in Porter Jr. once he is traded or released by the Cavaliers. Right now, his value is as low as its going to get and it’s going to be a necessity that he turns things around off the court.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade centered around Kevin Porter Jr. would benefit both sides.
