Both the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks intend to make significant changes this offseason in order to solidify their standing as competitors in their respective Conferences. If both teams can get the Utah Jazz on board, they should be able to work together to make a transaction that improves both of them.
Over the past two seasons, the Jazz have been slowly rebuilding and turning Lauri Markkanen into an All-Star type player. Markkanen’s worth shouldn’t be allowed to decline as the organization tries to decide on its future course. Rather, a three-team trade that includes the Lakers and includes a former All-NBA player might provide them with valuable assets.
This deal allows both the Lakers and Knicks to take big swings on Randle and Markkanen respectively, while the Jazz can fully commit to a rebuild and walk out of the loaded 2025 Draft with a franchise-altering selection.
