The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly exploring a trade that would send Bronny James to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Moussa Diabate from the Charlotte Hornets. This potential three-team deal also includes Liam McNeeley and a 2033 second-round pick going to Los Angeles. The Lakers' move comes as they deal with a backcourt logjam, possibly forcing them to waive or trade Bronny James before training camp. Diabate has shown promise, averaging 7.9 points and 8.7 rebounds last season, positioning him as an ideal backup option alongside Walker Kessler.
