The Lakers are hoping to get Hilde Tucker Jr. and the 2027 first round as a trading chip

Today, according to the report of the US media Fadeaway World, sources revealed that the Lakers hope to trade with King player Buddy Hield.

The Lakers are reportedly hoping to get Hield through a trade, with chips for Tarren Horton Tucker and the 2027 first-round pick.

Hield has played in 50 games for the Kings so far this season, averaging 29 minutes per game and averaging 14.9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, including 38.6 percent from the field, 37.6 percent from three-point range, and 3.4 three-pointers per game, ranking third in the league and shooting 86.8 percent from the free throw line. According to previous reports, the Kings management hopes to use Darlon Fox and Teres Halburton as the core of the team, Hield has only started 10 games this season, and the team hopes to prioritize hield's big contract. Hield has a salary of $22.48 million this season and his contract has 2 seasons to expire, including $20.52 million for 2022-23 and $18.57 million for 2023-24.

Hield is a great three-point shooter, and his style of play is perfect for the Lakers, and he is better suited to playing next to the Big Three of Anthony Davis, LeBron James and Russell Weisbrook than Tucker Jr.

At present, the Lakers' record is only 24 wins and 26 losses, ranking ninth in the West, and has fallen behind the eighth-place Timberwolves in the West by 1.5 wins, and with the current schedule halfway through and the trade deadline approaching, the Lakers need to make changes through trades as soon as possible.
