Lakers consider trade involving frequently demoted guard this offseason

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly exploring a trade involving their second-year guard, who has struggled to secure a consistent role. The franchise recently acquired center Walker Kessler and signed three additional players while parting ways with DeAndre Ayton. ESPN's Dave McMenamin mentioned that the Lakers' next move may hinge on LeBron James' decision regarding his future. If James leaves, the team might be open to trading the young guard. As his status with the G-League raises concerns, the Lakers could look to make a deal soon.
