But this time, Colin Cowherd offered a fascinating trade proposal centering around Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis that feels like a win-win for all the parties involved.
The Lakers could lose franchise star LeBron James to free agency this offseason, as the 39-year-old is expected to opt out of his contract. Even if James stays, it’s obvious that the Lakers need a roster shake-up if they’re to compete next year.
Speaking on the latest edition of his “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” show, the veteran sports media personality proposed a trade in which the Lakers would send Davis to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, and four first-round draft picks.
“23-year-old Jalen Williams, averaged 19 a game, his ceiling is probably closer to 25-26….he can defend. Cason Wallace, tremendous young defender, only 20. High ceiling…LeBron will get him up and running quickly. Four first-round picks…this is a lousy draft, try to get the next draft.”
In adding Davis, the Thunder would have a “big three” with the future Hall of Famer, Chet Holmgren and young superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. And as Colin Cowherd pointed out, a young team like OKC needs another veteran star if they’re to compete with top teams like the Nuggets and Boston Celtics for a championship.
Colin Cowherd’s Trade Proposal Works For Both Sides
The Lakers’ championship window is quickly closing, whereas OKC’s is just opening. So for Davis, he’d be a big winner here if Los Angeles were to theoretically send him to a Thunder squad loaded with young talent.
The Purple and Gold, meanwhile, would be getting two young pieces to help now and in the post-LeBron era. And if they were to land a bundle of picks, the Lakers could always package some (or all) of them to make another blockbuster deal.
