Potential trade: Chris Andersen for Nick Young

When Kobe was injured and the Lakers had no young talent it was all about Nick Young. During the 2013-14 season, Young led the Lakers in scoring with 17.9 points per game. Since then the Lakers have focused on young guards Jordan Clarkson, D’Angelo Russell and Lou Williams. Young is now playing the second fewest minutes of his career and is in a aimless season with the Lakers. A move to Miami would enable him to rejuvenate his career and help the Heat out. With similar games, Young and Gerald Green would display a scary one-two scoring punch off the bench. The Lakers won’t have to worry about paying Young next season so their salary cap gets more favorable while the Heat add a solid contributor with a decent two-year/11 million dollar deal left.
