The Lakers seem to have been able to find their form well in the past few games, but from the perspective of lineup strength, it will still be difficult for this Lakers to impact the championship trophy, which is simply that the Lakers still need to make a move before the trade deadline.
For this season's Lakers, the team bench is still a problem that urgently needs to be strengthened, after all, in addition to Cameron Anthony, the Lakers bench does not have a scorer who is efficient enough on the offensive end.
According to the advice of the US media Brett Siegel, the Lakers can try to promote the transaction involving Terrance Rose with the Magic:
The Lakers got: Terrence Rose, Itowan Moore
Magic Get: Taran Horton Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, 2023 second-round picks (from bulls)
At present, the Lakers do not have many trading assets in their hands, and the team's total salary is already far beyond the salary cap. But in this deal, the Lakers can still send two players, Tucker and Nunn, who have an annual salary of $9.5 million and $5 million this season, respectively, which is enough for the Lakers to push the above deal.
In this deal, the Lakers can get an experienced scorer like Terrance Rose, who will undoubtedly be the player who can help the Lakers a lot on the bench. You know, Terrance Rose's career has been able to play a 36.4% three-point shooting rate, which also makes him more suitable for partnering with teams like James and Davis and even Westbrook.
Of course, the Lakers sent Tucker and Nunn in this deal is also a big sacrifice, but compared to Tucker and Nunn, I believe Rose will be a tough player who can help the Lakers even more so far.
