The Washington Wizards and Los Angeles Lakers have been linked in trade rumors, but no deal has been made yet.

So Wednesday, I opened the computer, cracked my knuckles and got to work on a deal that would’ve gotten the Lakers more athletic, more rebounding and more scoring — all without costing them both of their first-round picks.

One of the trade targets who have been most linked to the Lakers lately may command a price on the trade market they may not be willing to pay.
