Lakers Emerge as Frontrunners to Acquire Hawks' Dejounte Murray

As NBA trade deadline looms, Lakers reportedly prioritize acquiring Murray and Raptors' Bruce Brown

Atlanta Hawks' Dejounte Murray is reportedly the top trade target for the Los Angeles Lakers, with the Lakers emerging as frontrunners to acquire the star guard.
The Lakers are also reportedly interested in Toronto Raptors' Bruce Brown, with both players being at the 'forefront' of the Lakers' trade targets.
The Hawks are reportedly asking for two first-round picks and a starting-level player in exchange for Murray, a price that some teams, including the New York Knicks, find too high.
Murray has been linked to several teams, including the Lakers, Knicks, and potentially the Philadelphia 76ers, and has sparked speculation with a cryptic social media post.
The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and the Lakers are reportedly keen to make a significant move to bolster their roster.
