Two trades that can improve the Lakers while keeping their core intact:
Day’Ron Sharpe: Adding Sharpe as a backup center alongside Anthony Davis boosts the team’s defense and rebounding. The Nets could agree to a deal involving two young expiring contracts, two second-round picks, and a first-round swap.
Cody Martin: Martin upgrades the starting lineup, especially on defense. The Hornets, not seeing Martin as part of their future, could move him for a couple of second-round picks.
Both trades strengthen the roster without sacrificing key pieces.
