Overview

  • Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report names Gabe Vincent as the Lakers player most likely to be moved over the next two months.
  • Vincent has appeared in 12 games with six starts, averaging 5.1 points and 1.7 assists on 35.2% shooting after missing time with an ankle sprain.
  • His primary value is perimeter defense, but Los Angeles is evaluating options to add more size and versatility to the rotation.
  • At $11 million this season, Vincent is viewed as a salary match in a larger package and has been floated as part of a potential deal for Mavericks center Daniel Gafford.
  • With Los Angeles off to a 17-6 start and few tradable assets beyond Vincent, reports note Austin Reaves is not expected to be available and Vincent will reach unrestricted free agency this offseason; the NBA trade deadline is Feb. 5.
