The LA Lakers haven’t been overly active this offseason. They made the rounds earlier for signing Deandre Ayton and Jake LaRavia, and they later got their hands on Marcus Smart. Those moves should all benefit JJ Redick’s team, but it might not be enough; they need to add another defensive player who can knock down shots and get stops.
With that in mind, they could look to make a run at 6-foot-5 forward Aaron Nesmith, who might be the odd man out in the Indiana Pacers’ stacked rotation and about to enter the second year of his three-year contract.
In this scenario, the Lakers could move Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht, one first-round pick swap in 2030, a 2031 first-round pick and a 2032 second-round pick for Nesmith. Vincent is set to earn $11.5 million in the final year of his contract this season.
