AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

[DallasMaverick]

Kyrie Irving and Trae Young were both at last night's game for the 2nd time this series. The rumors won't go away that the Lakers are going to try to land one or the other.

Now Trae is an interesting thought...

He's a really good, maybe even transcendent offensive player.  But oh, so weak on defense.  Sort of an even more mercurial version of Christian Wood.  The highs are really high, but so are the lows.

I get the feel that Atlanta is perhaps getting tired of the roller coaster ride he provides.  So maybe open to a trade like this?

So do the Lakers trade AD straight up for Trae?  Salaries match.

Which team says no?
