Gabe Vincent is almost back, Lakers are still targeting Zach LaVine, this is their rival on it

The Los Angeles Lakers recently announced today that their point guard Gabe Vincent is getting ready to return to the court and will be available on December 18 for their contest against the New York Knicks.

Once Vincent is back, the purple and gold will finally have their complete roster available and fully healthy, something that a couple of weeks ago seemed like an impossible task.

Still, a recent report by The Athletic's Shams Charania has the Lakers showing interest in making a trade for the Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine, as they have closed the door for any potential trade involving Alex Caruso.

"The Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers are expected suitors for LaVine, but both are operating from positions of patience and due diligence." Said Shams Charania. The Lakers are looking to see how their complete roster behave now that Gabe Vincent will be back before deciding on move on with a trade for Zach LaVine or other star.

The Bulls don't want to trade Alex Caruso anymore

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania: "A bevy of teams has been expressing interest in trading for Bulls utility star Alex Caruso, league sources say, but the franchise has shut down those calls."
