Lakers Notes: 3 Trade Ideas, Knicks Eyeing LA Free Agent, Draymond Green Settles GOAT Debate

In this story:
The Los Angeles Lakers have had a busy offseason, but with the regular season right around the corner, there are a few trade ideas that LA has been reportedly linked to. Superstar Luka Doncic was locked down for the long term, something that was high on the Lakers' to-do list this summer, but the objective has now shifted to filling out the supporting cast to best utilize his talent.
In other news, the New York Knicks are eyeing a Lakers free agent according to a recent report. New York has an open roster spot and an Eastern Conference that appears just as wide open this season.
Finally, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green settled the longstanding debate regarding the league's "Greatest of All Time." Superstar LeBron James and NBA legend Michael Jordan have been the most-discussed players for the 'G.O.A.T' title, but Green pointed to some of the teammates the two have had over the years to solidify his answer.
