LA Lakers
It’s time the Golden State Warriors focus on their future. They’ve conquered the present and will continue to do so as long as they have Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. If they want, they can deal Green to the Lakers, giving them more hope this season.
The Warriors, in return, would ask for some of the Lakers’ treasured assets. Ingram and Hart are arguably the two that the Lakers would give up for a four-time All-Star. The Lakers love Lonzo Ball for his unique vision and playmaking, and they’ve seen Kyle Kuzma explode this season.
Those two will be off-limits for any team outside of New Orleans, who could potentially trade Anthony Davis to LA. However, Ingram and Hart are the perfect mix of talent and potential for a star like Green.
The Warriors would replace Green’s production and snag a solid, defensive-minded shooting guard to strengthen their bench. Unless the Lakers hold out for a better trade or want to develop these young studs, this trade seems like a win-win, giving the Lakers a true shot at the title this season.
