The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly proposed a trade that would send guard Austin Reaves and rookie Bronny James to an unspecified team in exchange for the first overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, according to a report published Friday.
The proposal suggests the Lakers are exploring a significant roster shake-up that would part with two young assets for the top draft selection. Reaves, 26, has emerged as a key contributor for Los Angeles, while James, the son of Lakers superstar LeBron James, was selected 55th overall in the 2024 draft.
No further details on the potential trade partner or the Lakers' draft intentions were disclosed. The front office has not publicly commented on the report.
