Lakers Predicted to Land Elite 3-Pt Shooter in 2-for-1 Trade to Finalize Roster

Lakers would receive: Grayson Allen

Suns would receive: Jarred Vanderbilt, Jaden Hardy

Why the Lakers Do It

The Lakers, who ranked 23rd in the league in 3PM last season, could use shooting reinforcements to pair with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. While free-agency acquisitions Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton will help in that regard, they are still projected to finish as a mid-tier three-point shooting team this upcoming season.

Besides his elite marksmanship, Allen will bring an element of toughness that may be missing from the Lakers. The 30-year-old is a relentless competitor who fights through every screen, dives for loose balls and never hesitates to stand up for his teammates
