Los Angeles Lakers
As mentioned earlier in the article that there are plenty of teams in the association that need to address the point guard position. One of those teams is the Los Angeles Lakers. Even with LeBron James still dominating in the latter portion of his career, and Anthony Davis being a lethal player when he’s healthy, the Lakers would benefit from adding a point guard this offseason.

Ahead of this season’s trade deadline, Los Angeles had Kyle Lowry in their sights, but a trade with the Toronto Raptors fell through. Plus, Dennis Schroder is a free agent this summer, and he may be asking for more than the Lakers are willing to pay for a point guard of his tier. To replace Schroder, and give them a third option on the floor, Brogdon would be a welcomed addition for Los Angeles.
Yes, Brogdon isn’t the flashiest player, and he isn’t going to wow fans with his athleticism. But Brogdon’s skillset would work well alongside James and Davis, improving the spacing on the floor with his efficient outside shooting.
It goes without saying that Kyle Kuzma would likely be included in the trade as the Lakers don’t have much to offer in terms of a trade for any player this offseason.
