With out with an ankle injury, the are frustratingly thin on the perimeter. is their only true shot creator left, and even with James, the Lakers were one of the worst shooting teams in the NBA. The Lakers won the 2020 championship primarily with defense, but the playing field is rapidly shifting beneath them. Last season, the posted the most efficient offensive season in NBA history by scoring 115.9 points per 100 po se sions. This season, five teams are topping that. The Lakers might need more firepower to keep up.They're on the prowl, according to , who reported on "The Jump" that the Lakers
Cleveland Guardians Jersey are looking for wing talent. However, there's one slight snag. The Lakers aren't yet willing to give up prized youngster or top draft picks in such a trade, according to Windhorst. Things can always change leading up to the deadline, but at the moment, that is complicating po sible trades. Its just TWO DAYS UNTIL THE TRADE DEADLINE, and has the latest on the Aaron Gordon sweepstakes, what the will do in the wake of LeBrons injury and
B.J. Upton Jersey whether Lonzo Ball is on the move. Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) "The Lakers have been working the phone since the LeBron injury looking for wing players," Windhorst said. "The problem is that they don't really have a whole heck of a lot to offer. They have discu sed in trade scenarios, but from what I am told they are not willing to include a draft pick, or their best young player, which is Talen Horton-Tucker, and without those two things to grease, I don'

They discu sed trading at the 2020 trade deadline but ultimately held off. Kuzma helped them win the championship in the Orlando bubble, and has now evolved into one of their best overall players. If they are similarly optimistic about Horton-Tucker's future, holding onto him makes sense. He has averaged 8.1 points in 18.3 minutes per game so far this season, but has flashed greater potential when given the chance. It should be noted that Horton-Tucker will be a restricted free agent this offseason. With , and Dennis Schroder also expiring, the Lakers are going to get very expensive next season if

This season's team is already in the luxury tax.Their willingne s to include Caldwell-Pope in trades makes sense in the context of their salary structure. The Lakers have only five players that make even $4 million. James and are untouchable. Dennis Schroder is the point guard of the future. That leaves Caldwell-Pope, at $12 million, and Harrell, at $9.5 million, whom they are . If they want to bring in a big salary, in all likelihood, one of them needs to be involved. The Lakers still have more than a day to strike a deal. For the right upgrade, virtually
