An NBA journalist has predicted that the Los Angeles Lakers could make a major move in the 2027 offseason by potentially acquiring a seven-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion from their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers. The player in question is reportedly valued at $149 million, making this a blockbuster trade scenario if it comes to fruition.
This prediction comes as the Lakers continue to build their roster for future championship contention. The acquisition of such a high-profile player could significantly bolster their chances in the competitive Western Conference.
