Which defenders should the Lakers trade? Team record the 10-man roster: Holiday ranked second in Wiggins

On June 20, the Lakers' well-known team reporter Jovan Buha answered fans' questions on the podcast program. As we all know, the Lakers' primary goal in summer is to introduce centers. So, in addition to the players at the center position, which other defenders or wings should they trade? Some fans asked this question, Buha gave an answer, and listed the most realistic 10-man target list in the order in his mind.

Let's take a look at this list first, as follows: 1. Ju Holiday, 2. Wiggins, 3. Michael Porter Jr., 4. Keegan Murray, 5. Mathering, 6. Derek Jones Jr., 7. Abaji, 8. Reus O'Neal, 9. Seble, 10. Pope.

Buha said Holiday, Wiggins, Porter Jr., Derek Jones Jr., Reus O'Neal and Pope are players who may be traded for their contracts, whether it's because of the amount, age, age or performance last season.

"The Celtics where Holiday is located have to make some tough decisions, but I don't expect they will give the Lakers any benefit. Wiggins still has a few years of contract, so Miami may just want to cut some salary and get more flexibility for the summer of 2026. Porter Jr. still has a few years of contract, Derek Jones Jr. has multiple seasons of contract, and the Clippers have some financial decisions on dealing with Harden. Royce O'Neal may Being traded because the Suns want to change their direction. Pope is the player I expect to be traded in the Grizzlies, who just went through a season of downturn. "

" Then some of these players are about to become restricted free agents who will become restricted free agents in 2026, Keegan Murray, Mathering and Abaji, who have different skill sets and position types, but I think all of these players can help the Lakers . Seble's contract is about to expire, which is a tougher question, and if you can somehow trade ClayBell for him, I would love it, and even trade Vincent for him, I would consider it, because I think the Lakers need more height, defense and athleticism, but ideally it makes sense if they can add ClayBell and something to get him."

" However, the two-way energy of Holiday and Wiggins Power, especially defensive ability, will help a lot. Holiday, I think you would want a player taller than him, but he is very good at defending even at 34, I think you have to think strongly about this potential deal, put him and Doncic and Austin in the starting lineup, and I think he will be very helpful. Wiggins can be said to be the best two-way wing available in reality. Porter Jr. has a lot of defensive problems, but I think his shooting and offensive ability is worth mentioning."
