Lakers Considering Roster Shake-Up as Trade Restrictions Lift for Reaves, Hachimura
Potential targets include NBA stars Lauri Markkanen, Andrew Wiggins, Pascal Siakam, Dejounte Murray, and Zach LaVine.
- The LA Lakers, currently 11th in the Western Conference with a 19-21 record, are considering shaking up their roster in search of another star player to join LeBron James.
- Players Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura are now officially eligible to be traded, and could be included in any trade package the Lakers may want to create.
- Five potential stars that the Lakers could acquire if they make Reaves and Hachimura available include Lauri Markkanen, Andrew Wiggins, Pascal Siakam, Dejounte Murray, and Zach LaVine.
- Zach LaVine is the Lakers' top target, as the Chicago Bulls plan to send him elsewhere by the NBA Trade Deadline.
- Despite the potential trades, the Lakers are reportedly steadfast in their desire to keep Reaves, with Hachimura being the more expendable of the two young players.
