Although the 2023-24 season is not over yet, it is the perfect time for some teams who have already entered the offseason early to prepare for a trade and strengthen their future competitiveness. Many teams are looking to improve their roster by adding to their roster in the off-season to make themselves better.

To this end, the American media proposed that the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers, the three teams make a mutually beneficial trade. The deal has the potential to change the league's landscape and make the Lakers the favorites to win next season.

The Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers are mutually beneficial trade options

Cleveland Cavaliers trade to get: Zach LaVine, Hudskifino, 2029 first-round pick (Lakers), 2028 second-round pick (Bulls), 2030 second-round pick (Bulls)

Los Angeles Lakers trade gets: Donovan Mitchell

Chicago Bulls traded: Reaves, Hachimura, Georgenan, 17th pick (Lakers)

The Lakers continue to overdraft the future and find help for Zhan Mei

Sending away Reeves, Hachimura, Hudskifino and this year's first-round pick with the 17th pick, the equivalent of 4 for 1, took Donovan Mitchell. With Donovan Mitchell's position as an active shooting guard, the strength of the top two, partnering with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, can indeed make the Lakers better.

However, without Hachimura, LeBron James' defensive pressure on the front line will be much greater. After all, in the past two seasons, Hachimura has often served as the team's heavy duty to defend the opposing big man.

The Cavaliers took Zach LaVine to complete a quick rebuild

There is no way, Donovan Mitchell can't stay, he wants to play in the metropolitan team, and has repeatedly rejected offers from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Zach LaVine is averaging 19 points per game this season and may not be as capable as Donovan Mitchell. However, he is also an all-round player. Moreover, Zach LaVine's role as the second leader, making Garland the core leader of the Cleveland Cavaliers is also a good change.

The Chicago Bulls are in a rebuilding phase

The Chicago Bulls wanted to trade away Zach LaVine and others last year. However, because the asking price is too high, no one has been interested, and they recently announced a reduction in the asking price, hoping that a team can trade for Zach LaVine.

With this three-team deal, the Bulls are absolutely sure to lose money because they got rid of Zach LaVine's big contract. The second is that they also got a first-round pick this year, as well as two nice young players from Reaves and Hachimura.
