Lakers Rumors: Donovan Mitchell Is Preferred Third Star Over Trae Young

When the Los Angeles Lakers didn't make any moves at the trade deadline this past season, it paved the way for them to chase stars like Donovan Mitchell and Trae Young this offseason. By the time the 2024 NBA Draft rolls around, the Lakers will have the ability to trade three first-round draft picks in addition to pick swaps and second-rounders if they want to make significant roster upgrades. With that being the case, the Lakers have already been linked to both Mitchell and Young should either become available. After the Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs, Mitchell's future with the organization began to come into question.
