Lakers Eyeing Future Moves as Cavaliers Secure Core
The Los Angeles Lakers are considering various strategies to enhance their team, with Donovan Mitchell previously on their radar. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers are optimistic about Mitchell’s future with them.
Despite speculation about Mitchell’s long-term commitment to the Cavaliers, it’s now expected that he will extend his contract, closing the door on potential trade talks. The Cavaliers are also set on retaining their key players, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, as they aim to build on their recent success. This leaves the Lakers to look elsewhere for star additions.
Meanwhile, the Lakers’ search for a new head coach progresses, with JJ Redick, an ESPN broadcaster and former NBA player, completing a formal interview for the position. The Lakers may extend an offer to Redick after his NBA Finals broadcasting duties conclude.
