One writer proposed a trade idea where the Lakers get involved in a deal that moves Kevin Durant in order to land themselves another major piece.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson offered up his favorite potential landing spots for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant.

Minnesota does not want to make a seismic change if Durant isn't on board. The question is whether there’s any chance he comes around to it.

Remember when the Raptors traded for Kawhi Leonard even though he wanted to go to the Lakers? One year. One title. Then he was gone. Worth every second. Or when the Thunder traded for Paul George even though he also wanted to land in Los Angeles?

"Kevin Durant, that's an interesting piece," Johnson said on ESPN's 'Get Up'. "If I'm the Knicks, the Knicks are too slow. They're not going to beat Indiana next year or these other teams. They got to get a little faster, right? And to me, Kevin Durant will allow them to get faster and be a guy that can help [Jalen] Brunson in the fourth quarter."

The LA Lakers will have to move on from Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. as Brian Windhorst confirms he is set to sign an extension.

The LA Lakers need a center, and that's no secret, but they also need to replenish their wing depth with a two-way presence.

One center who has been linked to the Lakers has reportedly signed a contract extension to stay with his current team.
