The Los Angeles Lakers have just won three games in a row, and it looks like they've finally found a way to win. However, there is certainly a lot of room for improvement in their lineup. The Lakers have no more than two ways to reinforce, one is through trading, and the other is to buy out the market signers. For now, it seems likely that the Lakers will have to take some action.
But as it stands, the Lakers' goal seems to be to make room on the list. ESPN star Windhorst recently said the Los Angeles Lakers are trying to trade Bazemore and Jordan Jr. The main purpose of this is to free up the list, in line with the idea of trading Rondo.
"They've sent Rondo away and made a free up a spot and they're looking to do more... With James doing well in the center position and Anthony Davis getting closer to a comeback, the Lakers may seek to trade Jordan Jr., not necessarily to get new players, but to send him away so that a spot can be freed.
In addition, as the Lakers' rotation lineup is gradually determined, Bazemore may also be sent away by the Lakers, and like Jordan Jr., the Lakers may not expect to get too much in the transaction, but will focus on buying out the market, so they need to vacate the lineup in advance. ”
As Windhorst mentioned, cutting players who don't perform well and aren't used by the team can free up the Lakers' roster and make it easier for them to sign people from the buyout market. For example, Cousins, who has just been cut by the Bucks, the Lakers can compete. Cousins did well during his time with the Bucks. In the past 17 games, Cousins has averaged 16.7 minutes per game and can have 8.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists. If the Lakers cut Jordan Jr., they can really consider signing Cousins.
