Lakers consider trade for Josh Green reuniting him with Luka Doncic

Summary

The Los Angeles Lakers are exploring a three-team trade that would bring Josh Green back together with Luka Doncic. Green, currently with the Minnesota Timberwolves, is seen as a valuable 3-and-D player after showing potential with a 42% shooting rate from three-point range last season. The trade would have the Timberwolves acquiring Clint Capela to support Rudy Gobert, while the Houston Rockets would receive players to enhance their shooting. Green, known for his athleticism and defensive skills, could be a key asset for the Lakers as they prepare for the upcoming season.
