NBA Trade Rumors: 12 surprising moves that would shake up the trade deadline

The Los Angeles Lakers trade both of their trade-eligible future first-round picks

If there’s one big, surprising move that could shake up the NBA Trade Deadline, it will likely come from the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are hoping that Anthony Davis can come back over the next couple of weeks and if he can, there’s a case to be made that this team should try to improve the roster by making a move at the trade deadline.

But here’s the thing with the Lakers possibly making a move at the deadline: if they are going to make a big enough a splash that will greatly impact the team, it will likely cost both of the team’s trade-eligible future first-round picks.

If the Lakers do end up trading both of their future first-round picks, you can bet that it will be in a move that could have some big implications in the Western Conference playoff picture. The big question is, will it happen?
