What can Russell get in exchange? The U.S. media listed five trading plans: 4 for 1 Sika 3 for 1 Grant is the most beneficial to Zhan Mei

Perkins said on the TNT show that he would rather trade Russell for a bunch of Christmas candles than have him on the Lakers roster. He constantly criticized Russell's professional attitude, believing that Russell was uncompetitive, and that he was outside the Lakers' system at both offensive and defensive ends, and that Russell was the culprit behind the Lakers' four-game losing streak.

The American media outlet FW has listed five options for the Lakers to trade D'Angelo Russell, and they also believe that Russell cannot help the team become a championship contender.

The first was a trade with the Bulls, with the Lakers sending D'Angelo Russell, Gabe Vincent, and a 2029 first-round pick for DeMar DeRozan. On the one hand, DeRozan is an expiring contract, but DeRozan is also a veteran.

The second deal is the most rumored, the Lakers sent Russell, Vincent, and LaVine in the first round in 29, and the Lakers formed the Big Three of LaVine, James, and Davis, and LaVine has four years left on his super-large contract of 178 million, and this deal will damage the space for many years to come.

The third was a trade with the Raptors, with the Lakers sending D'Angelo Russell, Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, and Pascal Siakam in the first round in 2029. If this deal can be a big improvement for the Lakers, Sika can play the No. 4 position, James can play the No. 3 position with peace of mind, and the Lakers have a huge improvement in offense and defense.

The fourth was a trade with the Trail Blazers, with the Lakers sending Russell, Hachimura, and Grant in the 2029 first-rounder. Grant just signed a five-year, $160 million contract with the Trail Blazers, but the contract is not too big in the league where the salary is exploding, and Grant is also a defensive forward who mainly plays the No. 4 position, and he is also a perfect fit for the Lakers.

The fifth trade with the Hornets, the Lakers sent Russell and Vincent for Rozier, this deal exchanged two guards for a guard, Rozier's offensive ability and three-point ability are good, and the Lakers can also look at the buyout market if they free up a seat.

The above five options are still the most beneficial to trade Sika and Grant, after all, the Lakers need players who can both attack and defend, and also consider the team's structure after LeBron retires next summer.
