Lakers Notes: Andrew Wiggins Trade Update, Luka Doncic Buys LA Mansion, LeBron James Defended

The Los Angeles Lakers have expressed interest in a trade for Andrew Wiggins, the forward who is part of the Miami Heat.

The price, however, has reportedly stopped the Lakers from advancing in the deal. According to team insider Jovan Buha, the cost would be at least a future first-round pick.

If the Lakers struggle at the start of the season and feel like they need size on the wings, they may end up going forward with the deal later on.

In other news, Lakers superstar Luka Doncic bought a multi-million dollar mansion recently in Los Angeles, laying down roots in a city where he will hopefully stay for a long time.

Finally, a former teammate of LeBron James came to the star's defend amid NBA legend Charles Barkley's criticism.
