Lakers, Clippers Explore Major NBA Trade Deals Ahead 2025 Offseason
The Los Angeles Clippers faced an early playoff exit in 2025, leading to trade speculation involving Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. A proposed deal would bring Durant to the Clippers alongside Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, aiming to create a formidable trio despite Durant's age. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers are focusing on improving their roster after a first-round playoff loss, with their top trade assets identified as Austin Reaves, rookie Dalton Knecht, and a distant 2031 first-round pick, while they remain hesitant to trade Reaves unless for a top-tier center. Lakers president Rob Pelinka is actively seeking a center, potentially using Knecht, their 2031 pick, and expiring contracts to secure one, following a failed trade for Mark Williams. Trade rumors also link the Lakers to Sacramento Kings' veteran DeMar DeRozan, with proposals suggesting a swap involving DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas for Lakers players including Knecht. Additionally, former Lakers player Austin Rivers publicly defended Russell Westbrook against anonymous criticism, emphasizing the importance of speaking openly when discussing a player's character.
