It is no secret that the Lakers need to make a move before this year's trading deadline, but due to the lack of salary space and trading assets, the actions that the Lakers can do are still very limited. However, the Lakers still have a lot of options before the trade deadline, according to "Open Air Stand" reporter Jack Fisher, the Lakers are likely to consider Paul Millsap, who currently plays for the Nets:
"While it is believed that Paul Millsap would prefer to join the Bulls, if Millsap enters the buyout market, the Lakers will be one of his suitors."
So far this season, Millsap has only contributed 3.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 37% shooting to the Nets per game, but to be honest, such Millsap is unlikely to significantly improve the Lakers' offensive and defensive ends.
On the other hand, the Lakers will also put some players on the shelf of the team, among which tarrant Horton Tucker and Kendrick Nunn are largely the best trade value players in this Lakers team, but the Lakers only rely on these two players as chips to promote heavy trade, after all, the team does lack more valuable trading assets.
However, according to US media reports, the Lakers are also looking for a team that can take over the contract of Kent Bazemore. While Bazemore was able to make it to the Lakers' starting lineup at the start of the season, he has almost left head coach Frank Vogel's rotation lineup.
Bazemore only signed a veteran base salary contract with the Lakers, although he has been kicked out of the rotation lineup, but I believe there will still be many teams in the league interested in such a tough player. During his time with the Warriors last season, Bazemore was the player who shot 40.8 percent from three-point range, and even though Bazemore has only 37.1 percent from three-point range so far this season, it should be enough to make him an ideal candidate for other teams to rotate the flanks.
