What chips can the Lakers use to exchange for Adams and the White Devils?

9:07pm, 30 May 2025Basketball

It is no secret that the Lakers lack the inside. The Rockets Adams is the best target. If Whitmore can be exchanged together, the Purple and Gold Army will still maintain sufficient competitiveness next season.

Adams has strong defense, excellent rebounding protection and pick-and-roll ability, and perfectly adapted to Doncic and James; Whitmore is young and has great potential. If he is given enough opportunities, he will be a scoring machine. After James retires, he will still have the strength to compete for the championship.

Now the question is, what chips does the Lakers take out to exchange for Adams and Whitmore?

Reeves must be sent out. The rest of the Rockets will be Vincent and Knector. If a first-round pick is added, it will probably impress the Rockets to release them.

No matter which chips are involved, the Lakers should promote the trade. As O'Neal said: "If the Lakers do not have trade reinforcement, they will be a playoff team next season."

Therefore, trade reinforcement is imperative, and Pelinka should call Rafael Stone now.
