At this point, it does seem to be a foregone conclusion based on the reporting that the Lakers will at least explore a Zach LaVine trade to some degree. To that point, Shams Charania reported as much once again on Tuesday on FanDuel TV.
However, who the team will and won’t include in trade talks will be the key factor. And, as things stand, it appears the Lakers have a pretty clear — and obvious — line in the sand.
On the same appearance on FanDuel TV, Shams revealed that the Lakers have not been inclined to include Austin Reaves in trade talks for LaVine, though the Bulls would covet him in a deal.
