NBA insider reveals many Lakers potential trade targets ahead of NBA's deadline

The Los Angeles Lakers GM Rob Pelinka is doing his research to find out the best possible trade ahead of the deadline, and while many believe D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura will be the purple and gold's main assets to trade, the question fans have is which player or players will be arriving to LA.

NBA insider Shams Charania from The Athletic has now linked the LA Lakers to a ton of players as he recently said: "The Lakers are doing their diligence. Dejounte Murray, Bruce Brown Jr., Tyus Jones, Terry Rozier, I'm told those are names to keep an eye on."

Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray stands out as arguably the most talented player out of the four that Charania mentioned. He is the only one of the four to earn an All-Star nod in his NBA career and is averaging 21.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the floor and 38.2 percent from deep so far this season. Also has been the player that has been the most linked to the team, so much so that many are starting to speculate it is all smoke.

As for Terry Rozier, he has also scored the ball at a high level thus far during the 2023-24 regular season. He is averaging a career-high 23.6 points per game on 46.0 percent shooting from the field and 36.7 percent from 3-point range in his fifth season as a member of the Charlotte Hornets franchise.

Fans believe Rui and D'Lo are been traded away from LA

The LA Lakers took a good victory over Portland with D'Angelo being the best player on the roster and Rui Hachimura of great help, still, both players were looking off and sad, fans believe both players have their days numbered in LA, underserved.
