The Los Angeles Lakers are once again the team to beat in the NBA. They are playing at an extremely high level and it is looking like they could be on their way to a second straight championship. This does not mean that the team is satisfied and will sit on their hands as we approach the NBA trade deadline.
The Lakers made plenty of moves in the offseason to improve. First, they made sure to sign both LeBron James and Anthony Davis to contract extensions. This means that they will be around long-term to help this team create the next great dynasty.
Los Angeles made a trade for Dennis Schroder to improve the point guard position and signed Montrezl Harrell in free agency. As we approach the NBA trade deadline, the Lakers could look to make another big move.
Another team that can look to make a splash of the Boston Celtics. During the offseason, the Celtics needed improvement in the frontcourt. They signed Tristan Thompson but did not make any other moves. This is another team that expected to compete right away and could be looking to improve. The Lakers and Celtics are two of the most story franchises in the NBA and they could look together for this deal.
If these two were to make a deal, it would certainly shake things up in both conferences. Let’s take a look at what this potential deal could look like.
