ANALYSIS: The Lakers can address a backcourt need while adding a scoring spark in Schroder. The 26-year-old averaged 19 points and four assists per game in 2019-20 while posting his best shooting splits of his career (46% FG, 38.5% 3PT). The Thunder would be acquiring a knockdown shooter and veteran in Green, along with another first round pick to add to the franchise's massive draft chest.
