Lakers trade rumors on potential interest in a Donovan Mitchell trade were sparked by Phoenix radio host John Gambadoro:
- Couple things on Donovan Mitchell. The Hawks, Heat & Kings are NOT interested contrary to reports. Knicks still have the best package to offer but other teams interested are Cleveland, Washington, Charlotte, LA Lakers & Brooklyn. And no the Jazz never asked for 7 1st round picks!

Donovan Mitchell highlights are flat-out insane sometimes, and so are his numbers so far in the NBA playoffs:
- Regular Season: 23.9 PPG, 4.5 APG, 19.4 FGA, 44.1 FG%, 36.1 3P%
- Playoff Stats: 28.3 PPG, 4.7 APG, 22.6 FGA, 43.1 FG%, 36.9 3P%

Percent chance the Lakers trade for Donovan Mitchell?
The Pat McAfee Show loves them some Shams Charania! The Athletic writer touched on the Kevin Durant news, Kyrie Irving trade chances, and the Lakers’ trade options - here’s a snippet:
- As of right now, the Lakers are open to anything that’ll make their team better … I would keep an eye on Patrick Beverley, Bojan Bogdanovic in Utah … You can go get 2-3 rotation players, plug onto your team, kind of get better with the sum of the parts, those are the types of moves I think you’re going to see the Lakers try to make. I don’t think they’re done, necessarily.

Lakers free agency rumors cap off today’s show - Marc Stein dropped a juicy nugget about Dennis Schroder and Los Angeles:
- Re-signing free agent guard Dennis Schröder is a "legit consideration" for the Lakers, league sources say, depending on how the rest of their roster develops. After one season as a Laker, Schröder played for Boston and Houston in 2021-22.
