The LA Lakers are used to having blockbuster signings and apparently, that's what will be happening in the next NBA season, at least, according to ESPN's Kendrick Perkins who recently revealed that a superstar is on his way to the purple and gold this offseason to play alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Because Los Angeles didn’t make a trade at the NBA's deadline, they’ll have up to three first-round picks to dangle in deals in the summer. In an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins hinted that the ideal superstar will join James and Davis in L.A. this offseason:

"The Lakers need to get through this season because another superstar is on the way this summer... He's the perfect fit for Anthony Davis and LeBron James."

The Lakers will give another attempt to have a Big 3 despite currently having D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves as their other stars. Trae Young is the superstar LA fans believe will be coming to play alongside AD and LeBron.

Although Perkins doesn’t drop a name, it can be assumed that it’s one of the star guards who have been linked to the Lakers in the past. The most likely candidate is Trae Young, who the organization internally believes can be had, though Donovan Mitchell and Kyrie Irving could be in consideration as well.
