The Los Angeles Lakers are considering a three-team trade that would bring wing Josh Green to the team. In the proposed deal, the Lakers would send Dalton Knecht and Jake LaRavia to the Houston Rockets, while the Rockets would trade Clint Capela to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green, who was acquired by Minnesota during the offseason, is known as a solid 3-and-D player, boasting a career 3-point shooting percentage of 38.7%. The Lakers have been seeking a starting-level wing but currently have limited trade assets available for impactful moves. Green's addition may address depth on the bench rather than fill a starting role.
