LeBron James never looked back since leaving Cleveland in 2010 after paring with top-tier NBA players.
With the 2021-22 NBA season a few months away…James could use a revamped and reconstructed roster to contend for another NBA title.
Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield is on the trade radar and he’s an upgrade.
“Multiple reports have indicated that the Lakers are interested in a deal for Buddy, and with fewer than 24 hours until the 2021 draft, multiple league sources say Los Angeles has stepped up its efforts by adding the no. 22 pick to a deal that’d include Montrezl Harrell and Kyle Kuzma or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Hield to L.A. now has real traction, which would give the Lakers what they need: shooting. Elite shooting. Since Hield entered the league in 2016-17, only he, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Duncan Robinson have averaged higher than 40 percent from 3 on more than seven attempts per game. Last season, the Lakers ranked 21st in 3-point percentage and 24th in 3-point attempts per game. Now Hield could be a floor-spacing weapon with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. That’s why the Lakers want him,” The Ringer.
If it happens…everyone expects Kyle Kuzma to be in that valuable trade package with other incentives for Sacramento.
Hield provides shot-creating and high-volume scoring when he can take over games in the fourth quarter.
