The Lakers made a deal with Sacramento

In an unlikely move, the Los Angeles Lakers look to the Sacramento Kings to try and improve their roster. If the Sacramento Kings get to the point where they’re ready to retool their roster a bit, perhaps they’d be open to moving some of their pieces for an extremely valuable future first-round picks from the Lakers.

The Lakers would benefit from Kevin Huerter, Richaun Holmes, and Harrison Barnes. This would give the Lakers a level of depth that they could only dream of at this point in the season, but it would be costly. Maybe the Lakers could pull this off by throwing in a second-round pick instead of both their firsts?

I still am bullish on whether the Kings would even be willing to make such a deal but, again, if the season gets way from them fast perhaps it becomes a possibility.
