The Los Angeles Lakers could target Robert Williams III as a backup center this offseason, and they can acquire him in three different trade scenarios.

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to need to free some cap space to complete the reported signing of veteran guard Marcus Smart. One way to do so would be via a trade, but don't expect Dalton Knecht to move the needle in those talks.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been sending mixed signals about LeBron James, but one executive has strong feelings about him returning.

Finding a trade that works for LeBron (who has a no-trade clause), the Lakers, and a third team is next to impossible.

With that in mind, there’s lots of talk in the NBA right now regarding James and a possible trade. On Sunday, June 28, James decided to take the final year of his contract with the Lakers.
