NBA Rumors: Sabonis, Close to the Lakers
The Lithuanian center could arrive at the Los Angeles Lakers in the next few hours through a trade that could change the NBA.
High-voltage news coming from the United States, echoing increasingly reliable NBA rumors that place Domantas Sabonis in the orbit of Los Angeles Lakers. The Los Angeles franchise is seeking reinforcements in its quest to contend for the championship, and they have selected the Lithuanian center to strengthen their rebounding and offensive capabilities.
They must do something if they want to compete for the title, but the margin for maneuver is narrow. Los Angeles Lakers are fully aware that, at this moment, they are far from being a franchise with firm championship prospects, so they are willing to make moves in the market. Many speculated about the possibility of Reaves or even LeBron becoming trade pieces, but it seems neither of them is likely to leave.
The goal of Los Angeles Lakers is nothing other than to sign Domantas Sabonis, taking advantage of the lack of competitiveness in the Sacramento Kings, who would settle for receiving secondary players like Hachimura and draft picks. In return, they would not only get the Lithuanian but also a top-level perimeter defender, such as Keon Ellis. It remains to be seen exactly what the Angelinos are offering, but both acquisitions would be significant for them.
