The LA Lakers are experiencing alarm due to the acquisition of James Harden by the Brooklyn Nets.

Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving will now form a triumvirate that is expected to render the Nets the Lakers’ most formidable opponents this season.

For this reason, reigning champions the Lakers are devising strategies to strengthen their roster, with Zach LaVine being the primary objective.

With a 28.3 point per game average, LaVine has been the shining hero of a mediocre Chicago Bulls squad and is attracting a great deal of admiration from around the NBA.

The transaction would benefit both parties, as the Lakers would acquire a formidable attacking player for an exоrbitant price, while the Bulls would have the financial flexibility to acquire additional players for future development.

Even though Anthony Davis and LeBron James remain in the Lakers’ ranks as favorites for the NBA Championship, the inclusion of LaVine could prove to be the deciding factor.
