$163 Million Star Draws Interest From LeBron James? Lakers After Kyrie Irving Failure and a Seemingly Stern Impasse With Knicks

The Los Angeles Lakers are still searching for their star player this off-season. After pursuing Kyrie Irving for a long time, they seemingly have to now look at different targets with the Nets confirming that he and Kevin Durant are gonna stay next season. But they seem to have already identified their missing piece to help LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The Utah Jazz is in full rebuild mode after trading away their star center Rudy Gobert for a bunch of picks. And they seem to have put Donovan Mitchell in the market as well. Many teams have enquired about him and have been in discussion with the Jazz. And after missing out on Kyrie, the Lakers seem to have identified their missing piece.

Lakers are reportedly interested in getting Mitchell to play with LeBron James

With the Jazz looking to rebuild, the Lakers have seemed to enter the fray as well. According to reports, the Lakers are interested in Donovan Mitchell. While the Lakers don’t have a lot of assets, they do have a couple of future first-round picks. They also have Russell Westbrook to potentially trade. And with the Utah Jazz in rebuilding, they may be interested in what the Lakers have to offer.

Donovan Mitchell came into the league in 2017, and he has arguably been a revelation since. He is a three-time All-Star and is also a scoring machine. Mitchell is a good passer as well. He was the leader of the Jazz last season and their go-to scoring option. He is a career 24 PPG scorer, and he is also an excellent three-point shooter.

The combination of LeBron James, Mitchell, and Anthony Davis could be lethal. Mitchell will likely give the Lakers a third scoring option and he also doesn’t need the ball as much. He can be a spot-up shooter and cutter and then take over from James and Davis when needed. And this move would undoubtedly make the Los Angeles Lakers title contenders.

But the Lakers do have some competition. The New York Knicks and the Miami Heat are also interested and are reportedly in talks with the Jazz already. The Lakers will need to up their game if they are to have a chance of getting Donovan Mitchell.
