Strapped for cash because of their salary cap, the Lakers will have to get creative when adding talent to the roster this offseason. They have a few pieces, such as Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, that they could trade. Dennis Schroder could be a sign-and-trade candidate as well to bring back some assets.

And according to The Athletic's Sam Amick, the "most promising" of the potential trades seems to be the one that would send Buddy Hield from the Sacramento Kings to Los Angeles. Amick also noted that if the Lakers are going to pull off that deal, they would likely be sending forwards Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell to Sacramento.
