The Los Angeles Lakers are showing signs of becoming a team that can make the playoffs this season. Anthony Davis has found his groove and is playing at an elite level. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook are also thriving in their ways, and the Lakers have every chance of making waves in the postseason if they can take another step in the right direction.
Many have felt like the Los Angeles Lakers roster is what is letting them down this season. The stars themselves reportedly think that a couple of moves have to be made before they can become contenders once again. Russell Westbrook is someone that the fans think should be retained after he has found his role, but some changes do need to be made. And it seems the Lakers are already planning a few moves.
Los Angeles Lakers Reportedly Have Their Eyes On Bojan Bogdanovic, Cam Reddish, And Evan Fournier
The Lakers need some solid role players to help their stars finish games off. Patrick Beverley, who was thought to be a big addition in the offseason, is someone that the team thinks they can move in a trade. They also have some picks and the likes of Kendrick Nunn to include in a potential deal, and Shams Charania has revealed which players they have an eye on.
“The Lakers are prioritizing shooting in their conversations with teams, and have discussed packages including salaries and a protected first-round pick for Detroit’s Bojan Bogdanovic, league sources, who were granted anonymity so that they could speak freely, tell The Athletic.
“They’ve also discussed concepts involving New York’s Cam Reddish and Evan Fournier, sources said. With Anthony Davis having an MVP-caliber season and LeBron James turning in another strong campaign, it will be fascinating to monitor how these Lakers approach Feb. 9.”
With the trade deadline now less than 2 months away, the Lakers and other teams around the league have to look into what they can do this season. For those that want to make a playoff push, there are good players available. Bojan Bogdanovic has been averaging 21 points per game on 50% shooting from the field and a stellar 43% from three-point range. Even Evan Fournier and Cam Reddish can contribute in a big way if the Lakers can get them. This will be an interesting deadline for the Lakers, for sure.
