Los Angeles Lakers star Jarred Vanderbilt has not played yet this season after undergoing surgery on both feet at the beginning of the offseason. These foot problems affected him during the previous NBA season, when he played only 29 games. Unfortunately, these issues have continued into the 2024-25 NBA season, and he is still awaiting his season debut. In the meantime, while recovering, Vanderbilt has become more active on social media.
Lakers Supply, a prominent social media account, has published a detailed three-team trade proposal that includes Vanderbilt. Under this suggestion, Vanderbilt would be transferred to the Washington Wizards, whereas Gabe Vincent and Jalen Hood-Schifino would be headed to the Brooklyn Nets.
The Los Angeles Lakers would acquire Dorian Finney-Smith from the Nets and Jonas Valanciunas from the Wizards. Furthermore, the Lakers would send two future first-round picks to the Nets, and in exchange, the Nets would facilitate a draft swap with the Wizards.
Vanderbilt liked the post, which shocked basketball fans. This surprising move has sparked speculation about his future with the team. It has ignited discussions and debates within the basketball community regarding what this might mean for both him and the franchise as they move forward.
