Lakers Could Include Bronny James In Trade Proposal For Ideal Duo

The Los Angeles Lakers could potentially include Bronny James in a trade proposal to acquire Derrick Jones Jr. and Brook Lopez from the Los Angeles Clippers. According to a proposed trade framework highlighted by Heavy, the Lakers would package James, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Jaden Hardy to address roster needs at starting forward and backup center.

ESPN's Tim MacMahon reported that the Clippers may look to trade veterans on expiring contracts following a 1-7 start to the season. The proposed trade would match roughly $20 million in salary, reuniting Jones with Luka Doncic while allowing the Clippers to acquire younger talent.
