Lakers propose trade for Myles Turner from Bucks in three-team deal
Summary

The Los Angeles Lakers are pursuing a trade to acquire Myles Turner from the Milwaukee Bucks in a proposed three-team deal. The Lakers would send Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht to the Bucks, while the Detroit Pistons would receive Jake LaRavia. Turner, who recently played for the Indiana Pacers, is considered a valuable addition for the Lakers' frontcourt as they also aim to enhance their roster with players like Walker Kessler and Kevon Looney.
