Keldon Johnson (San Antonio Spurs)
September 2025
After last season’s first-round playoff exit, the Lakers are considering a trade for Spurs forward Keldon Johnson. Despite signing DeAndre Ayton, LA still lack reliable bench scoring and could target Johnson before February’s trade deadline. Ryan Stano notes Johnson’s scoring and rebounding off the bench would fill a major gap, giving Doncic and LeBron support. Durable and consistent, he could be trusted across the season, strengthening LA’s push in the competitive Western Conference.
