The Los Angeles Lakers have been in the bottom half of the Western Conference since the start of the season. The team has had a tough time winning games while being bitten by the injury bug. LeBron James has been using whatever fuel is left in his tank to keep the Lakers afloat. And with Anthony Davis out once again, things have only gotten worse. But the latest trade rumor, which might be beneficial for the Lakers, has fans scratching their heads. 

The trade involves none other than Chicago Bulls star, Zach LaVine. LaVine, being a product of UCLA, seemingly wants to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. But the problem that arises is, what can the Lakers offer in return?

Will the Lakers finally call it quits on the AD and LeBron combo?

LA arguably has little to offer, apart from Anthony Davis, and the Lakers’ front office deciding to break the duo of James and Davis seems highly unlikely. Moreover, fans are wondering why LaVine would want to play next to an aging star and a team struggling in the bottom half of the table. 

Any possibility of this trade happening would likely mean sending Anthony Davis to the Bulls. But fans seem confused about how and why such a deal would take place.

Here are some more reactions from Twitter.

Realistically, the Lakers do not have any assets that they could offer the Bulls in return for Zach LaVine and even fans seem to realize that.

A Zach LaVine and LeBron James duo

If any sort of trade does go through, the duo of James and LaVine could prove to be a very lethal weapon for the Lakers. Even though James does not have those young legs under him, LaVine arguably still has more than enough hops left in him.

James can be a great facilitator of the ball and would greatly help LaVine in getting easy and open shots. LaVine on the other hand can score points in bunches. He’s got the speed and agility to blow past defenders, can dunk on almost anyone, and knock down the long-range bomb as well. 

It will be interesting to see if this trade actually takes place between the two teams.
