The LA Lakers surprised everyone with how great they did at the end of the regular season, turning things around and making it into the playoffs.

One of the most disappointing aspects for the team was the performances of D'Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley in the playoffs, especially against the Nuggets.

The team has been rumored to be looking for an upgrade in that aspect, and now reports have the front office eyeing the Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine.

According to NBA Insider Jake Fischer, the Chicago Bulls are contacting teams and gauging the trade interest in Zach LaVine, including the Lakers. The 37 million star could replace D-Lo and Beasley to give LaVine their spot and cap space.

What LaVine would bring to the Lakers team

By bringing LaVine into the fold, the Lakers would address their scoring void. They would also establish a formidable "Big Three" that could rival any trio in the league. LaVine's ability to create his shot, navigate through tight defenses, and drain shots from all court areas would alleviate the pressure on James and Davis. This would allow them to operate more effectively within the game's flow. LaVine's offensive prowess would not only enhance the Lakers' scoring output. It would also create additional opportunities for his teammates. Opposing defenses would be forced to divert their attention to containing him.
