NBA World Reacts To Big Blockbuster Lakers Trade Rumor

The Los Angeles Lakers have entered the most important offseason in team history. What makes this offseason so important? The Lakers have to fix the roster if they want to be contenders again. LeBron James and Anthony Davis will hopefully continue leading the team, hopefully, but Rob Pelinka has to add more strength to the group. There have been several rumors about the next move of the Lakers general manager and one particular blockbuster trade makes perfect sense.

The Lakers have LeBron on the roster, but it wasn’t enough. Davis missed a lot of time due to injuries. LeBron missed time, too. These two didn’t play together a lot and their absence had a huge impact on the game. Frank Vogel had to work with a different roster every other night. It was hard to come up with the perfect lineup mostly because his superstars weren’t around.

Russell Westbrook was a disaster, too. He joined the team as the third option behind LeBron and AD, but made zero impact. Moreover, he damaged the team. Many thought that Westbrook would leave the team in free agency. Well, this move is a bit pricey and the Lakers will lose a lot of money. NBA teams want a first-round pick and Pelinka can’t afford that. He needs first-rounders to secure the future of the team. LeBron and AD won’t play forever.

Who will be the next player to join the team? Fans mentioned Bradley Beal.

Fans surprised by blockbuster trade rumors

The Washington Wizards superstar can help the Lakers in the upcoming season. The team will probably do the best to keep him on the roster, offering a max contract. Beal may also enter free agency. NBA teams wouldn’t offer him the money he is set to get from the Wizards.

The NBA world had an interesting reaction to all these rumors related to Beal and the Lakers. Let’s just say people weren’t too excited about it.

“This is another example of what I call “Silly Season”. I’m also interested in growing my hair back,” Wizards announcer Chris Miller tweeted.

“I’m interested in becoming a better person,” another fan joked.

“Report: Every nba team is interested in acquiring Bradley Beal,” one fan joked.

According to sources, Beal has made a decision, but we don’t have many details about it.
