The Lakers have an uncertain future with LeBron James, contract extension talks to tackle with Luka Dončić, a glaring void at center, a supporting cast that needs strengthening and a handful of trade chips to play with on the open market. This summer should be busy.

The Lakers will most likely look at trade targets this offseason to improve the roster amid an early playoff exit.

The debate over whether or not Luka Doncic, also known as “Luka Magic,” has lost his fourth-quarter magic is a hot-button issue. In the meantime, Doncic, 26, reportedly asked the Los Angeles Lakers to trade for a specific NBA player, per Athlon Sports. Doncic’s request is interesting, to say the least.
