Lakers Lurk as Possible Landing Spot for Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Los Angeles Lakers could find themselves in the mix for one of the biggest names in basketball, Giannis Antetokounmpo, but only if the timing lines up just right.
While the two-time MVP has reportedly shown interest elsewhere, Jovan Buha believes the Lakers could become a surprise trade destination down the road if the Bucks star grows more frustrated with his team’s direction.
I think the interesting thing was, the Lakers were positioning themselves as a future cap space team, and a future offseason team earlier in the [2025] offseason, and then there was a shift later in the offseason after EuroBasket, where it came out that now they’re open to trading, open to taking on longer-term money.
