At the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James won’t be forever. Under contract until 2024, with a “player option” for 2025, the King is slowly approaching the end of his career. Looking ahead, the Angelenos should look for a new star to back up Anthony Davis. With a player already in sight: Trae Young !
According to the information by The Athletic journalist Johan Buha, the Atlanta Hawks point guard has been on California’s radar for a long time. In recent years, the 24-year-old talent has had some tense times, especially with his coaches in Georgia.
And so the Lakers followed this turmoil with great attention. In the recent past, Los Angeles leaders have coveted several point guards (Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving et Kyle Lowry), without ever managing to close a deal. Which leaves room for Young.
Of course, as it stands, an offensive does not seem imminent. Currently, the Lakers have a balanced workforce around James-Davis. And for his part, the native of Lubbock is under contract until 2026, with a “player option” pour 2027.
But with Rich Paul as an agent, Trae Young could be the ideal candidate for Los Angeles in a few years.
Trae Young did not score points with Team USA in 2019…
