So far this season, the Lakers' overall record performance is indeed not so ideal, which is why many rumors in the league say that the Lakers need to make a move before this year's trade deadline. But the question is, what kind of reinforcement the Lakers promote may make them a better competitive team, and recently there is news that the Lakers have a greater interest in the two tough players.
According to the US media Shams Charania, the Lakers are teams interested in Miles Turner and Jeramie Grant:
"Opponents are currently stepping up their conversations with the Pacers, including the possibility of a trade between defender Karis Loft and center Miles Turner. Sources say people like the Lone Ranger and Knicks have expressed interest in trading Turner. The source added that the Lakers and Wasps also developed a degree of interest in Turner. ”
Miles is a very good interior player, he can bring the Lakers the ability to open up space and provide a solid defensive end, after all, Turner is still one of the best blockers in the league. And in the case that DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard can't seem to fully meet the needs of Lakers coach Frank Vogel's tactical system, Turner is indeed a good addition.
In addition to Turner, the Lakers are also one of the teams interested in Geramy Grant, and the US media Shams Charania reported the news:
"There are currently several playoff teams chasing Pistons star forward Jerami Grant, the Wizards, Knicks, Trail Blazers and Lakers, respectively, according to sources.
Like Turner, Grant is also a player who can help the Lakers on both offensive and defensive ends, averaging 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in 24 games for the Pistons this season, in addition to 41.4% shooting and 84.9% free throw shooting.
Overall, if the Lakers want to continue to storm the championship trophy this season, Turner and Grant will indeed be very ideal reinforcement candidates, but what chips the Lakers can provide at present is still unknown, and even how the Lakers should solve the problem of Westbrook may be the biggest X factor for the team to impact the championship.
