Lakers Eyeing Giannis?
NBA insider Eric Pincus is speculating about the Lakers' chances to land Giannis Antetokounmpo in the offseason Fadeaway World.
Pincus notes the Lakers' current salary cap situation would require some maneuvering to realistically acquire Antetokounmpo. Several players would need to be traded to create the necessary cap space. LeBron James' presence on the Lakers roster could be a draw for Antetokounmpo, who will be 32 at the start of the 2026-27 season. Playing alongside a legend like James might appeal to Antetokounmpo as he considers his long-term future. The Lakers' front office has a history of pursuing and acquiring superstar talent. This reputation could give them an edge in the pursuit of Antetokounmpo if he becomes available.
