Trae Young is Lakers ‘Most Realistic’ Offseason Trade Target<\/h2>\n

In a live Q&A segment, Buha answers a question about whether the Lakers will be looking for a star this offseason:<\/p>\n

“Yes, they are. I can confirm that from multiple sources. They are going third-star hunting this offseason. We’ll see how that affects the [D’Angelo Russell] situation. You\u2019ll probably have to give up Austin [Reaves] in almost any third-star trade… The one name I continuoly hear is Trae Young… He’s a Klutch Sports client. That\u2019s probably the most realistic one right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
