Lakers sign: Kevin Porter Jr. to a 1 year Minimum contract
—————————————————————————
Why would the Lakers do this?
Lebron is very old and the Lakers should do anything to win his last ring. This will mean they will sacrifice young players for stars. If AD is injured again, LaVine will take his role as the second option on the Lakers.
Why would the bulls do this:
It had been confirmed that the Bulls and LaVine are open to trade offers. LaVine would like the bright lights of LA and how the Lakers have been in contention since the 2000s with Kobe Bryant. Austin Reaves has showed that he can be a dog on the court, Rui has the potential to be a great role player for any team, and Gabe Vincent as shown on the Heat finals run he can be a dog if he gets play time.
