The Los Angeles Lakers have big choices to make and huge expectations going into the 2024 summer. Following their disheartening first-round loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers hope to rebuild and contend for a deep postseason run in the upcoming year.

Darvin Ham was fired as head coach of the team because of the squad’s inconsistency and lack of fit, even though LeBron James and Anthony Davis were talented players. The Lakers are now looking for a new head coach after Dan Hurley of UConn turned down a sizable offer yesterday. The future of D’Angelo Russell and other important players is uncertain, as LeBron reportedly considers forgoing his $51.4 million player option. The Lakers have a busy summer ahead of them to bolster their squad and make smart deals.
Austin Reaves is the most fascinating tradeable asset the Lakers have. Reaves has evolved into a dependable and adaptable guard, making him a valuable asset. The Lakers have been hesitant to trade him, but that might change with the proper offer. The Lakers are anticipated to be active in the trade market this summer in an effort to bolster their roster with a third star and increase their chances of competing in the increasingly competitive Western Conference.
