LA Lakers: 3 Players they should trade to keep LeBron's playoff hopes alive

#2 Bradley Beal

Bradley Beal is averaging a career-high 24.4 points per game this season.

The addition of a four-time Most Valuable Player to the roster has not delivered as desired, and the team's in a desperate need of a legit sidekick. Beal has really emerged as one of the most promising and skilled shooting guards across the league, in the absence of All-Star point guard John Wall.

Though the Lakers would be hesitant to give away the young talent and the future benefits that they might entail, Beal is the kind of player that might want you to not wait for the future in the first place.

Although Brandon Ingram - who was expected to be the star kid alongside LeBron - has tempered expectations, he has opened up trade routes for Los Angeles in order to make something good out of a somewhat disappointing season so far from the youngster.

Ball, Ingram, and KCP is the package that can be shipped to Washington to match his $25.4 Million salary, still keeping the surging Kuzma and rest of the crew intact in LA.
