The Los Angeles Lakers' offseason has been largely fruitful, marked by the addition of stars and role players alike. Unfortunately, in their pursuit of another roster upgrade, the Purple and Gold were met with disappointment, as Jonathan ******* inga chose to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves instead.
While this could be viewed as a moderate setback, it can also be perceived as an opportunity. With ******* inga off the Lakers' list of priority targets, the Purple and Gold have the luxury to redirect their energies toward other signings. To that end, some low-cost options have been floated. But given the team's needs, L.A. may see merit in revitalizing their efforts to acquire P.J. Washington from the Dallas Mavericks.
Washington has long been on the Lakers' radar, with Luka Doncic even voicing his preference for the forward. While Dallas hasn't been in favor of trading him, NBA insider Jake Weinbach shared a three-team trade framework that could convince the Mavericks to entertain negotiations. Here is Weinbach's trade proposal for the Lakers to acquire P.J. Washington:
