Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Malcolm Brogdon

Indiana Pacers Receive: Dennis Schroder, Wesley Matthews, Talen Horton-Tucker, 2026 1st Round Pick

Malcolm Brogdon is currently scoring 21.2 points per game to lead the Indiana Pacers. He is an extremely efficient player shooting 37.8% from three-point range and 90.4% from the free throw line. He would be a welcomed addition to the Lakers but would be a bit pricey.

The Lakers would be landing a relatively affordable All-Star caliber talent that would bring a complementary skill-set offensively next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Malcolm Brogdon’s defensive ability would help.

the Pacers would have to receive Dennis Schroder in return to replace Malcolm Brogdon at the point guard position. Talen Horton-Tucker and a first-round pick would also be valuable pieces on their way to Indiana.

Let’s take a look at how this trade centered around Malcolm Brogdon would benefit both the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers.
