PJ Washington, De'Andre Hunter and Bruce Brown named as Lakers' next move
With Jonathan Kuminga agreeing to a two-year, $13 million deal in Minnesota, Bleacher Report's Andrew Peters lists PJ Washington, De'Andre Hunter and Bruce Brown as the Lakers' likely pivots at power forward.
Washington is signed in Dallas through 2029-30 at $19.8 million this season, and Peters suggests Jarred Vanderbilt could be attached to make the money work; Hunter's contract is described as similarly awkward.
Brown, an unrestricted free agent, is the cheap option. Peters notes Brown had a three-year Lakers deal lined up in 2023 before Indiana came in with two years and $40 million.
