Lakers Trade Pitch Lands 250-Pound LeBron Enemy for 2 Players and Picks

The Los Angeles Lakers’ roster questions are centered on frontcourt depth as the regular season approaches, especially after adding Walker Kessler as their key center. With only Kessler as a true center who plays more than about 15 minutes per night, preseason action highlighted a thin rotation behind him, even as newcomer Sandro Mamukelashvili has stood out as a power forward. One proposed scenario would involve a trade out of the West to Memphis for Isaiah Stewart. A Fanspo.com trade-machine suggestion has the Lakers sending Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht and additional picks in exchange for Stewart. At 25 and listed at 6'8", Stewart is described as a defensive-focused forward/center who can start, and was averaged 10 points per game for Detroit last season, when the Pistons won 60 games. The same proposal notes Memphis may be reluctant given roster-limit pressures and Vanderbilt’s salary.
