Lakers Eyeing Trade Deadline Upgrades, Zach LaVine Trade 'Unlikely'

Austin Reaves Off the Table in Trade Talks, Gabe Vincent Considers Knee Surgery

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly looking to make upgrades ahead of the NBA's Feb. 8 trade deadline, with a focus on speed and athleticism.
Rumors have linked the Lakers to Chicago Bulls veteran Zach LaVine and Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray, but a trade for LaVine is considered 'unlikely'.
Teams interested in a trade with the Lakers are expected to ask for young player Austin Reaves, who the Lakers are reportedly not willing to move.
The Lakers are currently ninth in the Western Conference with a 16-15 record.
Guard Gabe Vincent is reportedly considering surgery on his left knee, which would keep him out for six to eight weeks.
