Los Angeles Lakers

ESPN's Summer Forecast panel picked Anthony Davis as the most likely star to change teams next, with the outlet describing the Wizards and Davis as opening the season on a trial run.

Svyatoslav Rovenchuk at LakeShowLife names Kyle Kuzma as the Lakers' most gettable power forward now that Jonathan Kuminga has signed with Minnesota despite a bigger offer from Los Angeles.

A post from X user Marc Jacobs claimed the Lakers had pivoted to Ben Simmons after passing on Jonathan Kuminga, and credited it to Marc Stein. Stein's response: he never reported any of it. The same account was previously called out by The Athletic's Dan Woike for inventing Luka Doncic quotes.

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.

With Jonathan Kuminga off to Minnesota on a two-year, $12.4 million deal, Fadeaway World lists cheap wings the Lakers could chase, starting with Bruce Brown and Cam Whitmore.

A Lakers trade idea would send Pelicans wing Herbert Jones to Los Angeles for Dalton Knecht, Jaden Hardy, a 2032 first-round swap and three second-rounders, aimed at giving LA a starting small forward who can guard perimeter scorers after Klay Thompson signed in Miami and Jonathan Kuminga chose Minnesota over the Lakers' offer.

With Jonathan Kuminga off to Minnesota, a proposed three-team deal would bring Atlanta big man Mo Gueye to Los Angeles alongside a 2031 second-rounder, ship Dalton Knecht and his $4.2 million to Houston, and send the Hawks two Lakers second-round picks acquired in the Deandre Ayton deal.

Gabe Vincent is drawing interest from Sacramento and a possible Miami reunion, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report. Vincent turned down an Atlanta offer to stay after a midseason trade from the Lakers, per Fischer.

Writing for FanSided, Lucas Johnson maps out a Bronny James move from Los Angeles to Boston in exchange for a protected 2030 second-rounder (via Charlotte) and a protected 2031 second (via Houston).

Svyatoslav Rovenchuk at LakeShowLife, in a trade idea picked up by Heavy, has Los Angeles acquiring Herb Jones and Jordan Hawkins in exchange for Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht, Adou Thiero and a 2031 Wizards second-round pick.
