Not only with the Bulls, but the Lakers are also eyeing a trade for a Grizzlies wing

After recent reports by The Athletic's Jovan Buha and Shams Charania have the Lakers linked to the Chicago Bulls stars Alex Caruso, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine, a new report has the team eyeing a Memphis Grizzlies reserve.

The NBA insider Michael Scotto from HoopsHype has learned that LA has kept tabs on Memphis Grizzlies reserve John Konchar, but they aren't the only team interested in him.

“Reserve forward John Konchar is also a candidate to be dealt before the February trade deadline,” Michael Scotto wrote. “The [Boston] Celtics, [Golden State] Warriors, and Lakers are among the teams who’ve kept tabs on Konchar’s situation from afar, HoopsHype has learned.”

Konchar has played five seasons in the NBA, all with the Grizzlies franchise. He’s off to an unspectacular start to this season from a scoring standpoint though, seeing as how he’s averaging 3.0 points per game so far while shooting 34.9 percent from the field and 32.0 percent from behind the 3-point line.

It could be an unusual move that won't make a big difference in the Lakers roster

Perhaps the Lakers’ reported interest in Konchar stems from the fact that the team doesn’t have a whole lot of depth on the wing right now due to injuries. Also, maybe the Lakers want another wing to limit the amount of minutes that LeBron James plays during the regular season as much as possible. After all, James is the oldest player in the NBA right now, as he is 38 years old and set to turn 39 next month.
