Goga Bitadze is one of the options most people predict the Lakers will try to brin to LA next season. And rightfully so. He is a 6'11'' big who excells rolling and cutting to the basket and can finish at the rim efficiently. He also provides you with some flashes of mid-range shooting, epsecially from the top of the key. Defensively he is a good rim protector whose size will be useful for the Lakers. And the best, hes dirt cheap.

Goga is on an 8.3M salary in 2026, which will go down to 7M in 2027. This makes acquiring him easy for LA.

Here I have them sending Dalton Knecht the Magic's way. A shooter is exactly what Orlando needs and Knecht provides that. You gould honestly convince me to do this deal as is, but the Magic still get a 2nd round pick in this year's draft in this scenario.

Overall, Goga is one of the options who makes the most sense for the Lakers this offseason.
