Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Chicagojk]

Lakers have a ton of cap room, so they’ll get somebody (probably 3-4 decent players, tbh) - unless they botch free agency by tying their hands with an RFA.

They will find players.   They also have advantages with players most teams do not have.  Still, this offseason is meant to bring a nucleus around Luka that will build into a championship.   That is the tricky spot.   They, like most of the good but not great teams in the West, all have similar problems with SA and OKC positioned so well.
