Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Bryn Forbes, F Keita Bates-Diop
San Antonio Spurs Receive: C DeAndre Jordan, G Kent Bazemore, 2027 First-Round Pick, 2028 Second-Round Pick

In this NBA trade scenario from HoopsHabit’s Jack Simone, the Los Angeles Lakers would make a key change to their supporting cast by acquiring Bryn Forbes from the San Antonio Spurs.

In order to land Forbes, the Lakers would be moving DeAndre Jordan, Kent Bazemore, a future first-round pick, and a future second-round pick.

Forbes is having a decent season for the Spurs. He’s posting averages of 5.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.6 assists while converting 38.3% from deep on 2.6 attempts per game. Keep in mind, he is coming off three consecutive seasons averaging double-figure scoring.

Forbes knocked down three-pointers at a 45.2% clip on 4.9 attempts per game just a season ago with the Milwaukee Bucks. He’s even had a campaign launching 6.0 takes from deep on a nightly basis.
