The Los Angeles Lakers emerge as a serious option to sign Antetokounmpo
The Los Angeles franchise is monitoring what happens with Antetokounmpo and has clear what the formula would be for his signing.
Putting two of the best players of the last decades on the same team. That's what Los Angeles Lakers aim to do with the signing of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek star is still deciding his future and all signs point to him potentially joining a team without the commitment of re-signing with them next summer. That's where the Lakers come in.
Rob Pelinka's intention is not to immediately bring Giannis Antetokounmpo on board, mainly because it's economically and contractually unfeasible. However, the chances of them making a significant overhaul of the current roster in the summer by shedding heavy contracts, engaging in a sign-and-trade with Reaves, and letting LeBron go, are high. This would make sense if they believe they have a shot at acquiring the Greek star.
Seeing Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo compete for glory is a dream for many fans who can't help but fantasize about how exciting that duo would be. It's undoubtedly an exciting project for the Los Angeles Lakers, who need to persuade the player that this option is best for his career, possibly joining a contender this season but understanding it's a layover before landing in Los Angeles next summer.
