Another wild trade rumor is about to headline the news in the coming days. This could be one of the biggest deal that could happen this year if all teams involves will agree. The rumored deal involves superstars DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall that could reunite to the Los Angeles Lakers in a 4-team, 7-player trade deal.
Earlier reports have linked Cousins and Wall to numerous trade deals the past couple of months. However, both players are still with their mother teams and those rumored deal just disappear. Previous articles have also linked them to reunite to the Boston Celtics and just recently, an article have reported that Wall might join Cousins to Sacramento.
However, the said scenario might not happen in Boston, Sacramento or even in Washington. Rumors are now spreading that a proposed trade deal is in the works between the Wizards, Kings, 76ers, and Lakers. Trade scenario is suggesting as follows:
1. The Washington Wizards will acquire Jordan Clarkson from the Lakers and Jahlil Okafor from the 76ers;
2. The Philadelphia 76ers will then get D'Angelo Russell from the Lakers;
3. The Sacramento Kings will obtain Brandon Ingram and Jose Calderon from the Lakers plus the 76ers will return the 2017 and 2019 first round draft pick that they got from Sacramento;
4. Finally, the Los Angeles Lakers will receive DeMarcus Cousins from the Kings and John Wall from the Wizards.
Though the trade is not perfect at some part but overall it is a good deal for everyone. It will give a new perspective to all teams involves in the present and for their future. Clarkson could somehow replace Wall as an able substitute in point guard spot while Okafor will give depth on the frontcourt of the Wizards.
The 76ers will harvest a good return with Russell and it is enticing to see his tandem with Ben Simmons playing off the ball. Meanwhile, if the Kings are making an early rebuild their acquisition is ideal for them having a potential superstar in Ingram plus two future first-round draft pick.
Finally, the Los Angeles Lakers will get two major superstars and arguably the best at this moment. There is no doubt that the Lakers will be skyrocketed as the top contender for the title that will give chills to the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Will DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall finally reunite in Los Angeles Lakers in this 4-team, 7-player blockbuster trade deal?
