NBA Trade Rumors: Nick Young To Be Traded By Lakers To Heat To Free Up Income For Kevin Durant?
According to the latest NBA season trade rumors, Los Angeles Lakers is carefully planning their lineup for the next seasons. And to be able to get the best of the best, they have to let go of some who aren't living up to expectations.
There are speculations that Lakers might be trading off Nick Young, and Miami Heat could be ready to take him in.
"Young has reportedly been on the trade block ever since swagged-out rumors first started to surround the Lakers wing back over the summer," Fox Sports reported about the NBA trade rumors surrounding Iggy Azalea's fiance.
"No trade was made, though, and Young began this season on the team. Now, though, with Young losing playing time and going from Swaggy P to Swaggy DNP on some nights, he could be on the move elsewhere."
According to another report, Nick Young may just not be someone who Lakers need on their team at the moment.
"Young is an accurate shooter with range, an increasingly coveted characteristic in a league that's fallen head over heels for space and efficiency," Bleacherreport.com wrote. "Unfortunately, that's all Young can do. He doesn't pass, play defense, rebound or create off the dribble."
Some believe the NBA trade rumors to be true especially since trading off Nick Young together with Lou Williams would reportedly give the Lakers almost $13 Million salaries at their disposal in the next two seasons as they purportedly aim to get All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
"If the Lakers succeeded in luring Durant to Los Angeles, it is expected that the team could immediately try to trade for Russell Westbrook," Inquisitr reported.
"The All-Star guard still has one more year left on his current contract before he becomes a free agent in the 2017 NBA offseason. Westbrook could simply decide to wait a year and then also sign as a free agent in Los Angeles," the article continued.
The management of Los Angeles Lakers is yet to address NBA trade rumors that they'll be letting go of Nick Young and Lou Williams next season, and that they're planning to sign in Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook.
