The San Antonio Spurs might be in need of a traditional starting point guard, and the Los Angeles Lakers could trade D’Angelo Russell.
The San Antonio Spurs have yet to answer their point guard question, and they might have to look beyond their current roster to do so. Jeremy Sochan has not showcased the ball-handling skills necessary for the position, and Tre Jones–while an excellent facilitator–is never a scoring threat.

One trade candidate for the Spurs is D’Angelo Russell. The 27-year-old former All-Star has been mentioned by Bleacher Report as the most probable trade chip the Lakers have, and his shooting and playmaking abilities would fit in well with the Spurs.
Because he recently signed a two-year contract, he can’t be traded until December 15th. By then, the Lakers will have a sense of their roster, and Austin Reaves and LeBron James will likely be the primary ball handlers.
The Lakers have several injury-prone players, especially in the frontcourt with Anthony Davis, Christian Wood, and Jarred Vanderbilt. As long as James is on the roster, the Lakers will be in win-now mode, and if the injury bug gets them, they could pay a pretty price for Zach Collins.
