The players who are currently rumored to have an affair with the Lakers are, Irving, Siakam, and Murray. But none of these three players are likely to join the Lakers, so let's analyze them one by one.
First of all, Irving, the Mavericks are also aiming for a championship, and the Mavericks and the Lakers belong to the same West, if Irving is traded to the Lakers, it will cause them a lot of trouble, if the Lakers get Irving, it will be the strongest contender for the championship. For the Lone Ranger, there is no harm but no benefit. So the Mavericks won't make this trade directly with the Lakers.
Looking at Siakam, the Lakers are only willing to send Reaves and a first-round pick at the same time if they get Irving, and the Raptors trade Siakam is intended to rebuild, so the Lakers are unwilling to send Reaves and a first-round pick at the same time This is not competitive for Siakam, and the Raptors can get better chips on other teams.
And Murray's defensive Xi is not good, trading Murray is not necessarily better than Russell, and trading Murray, the Lakers are not very willing to play Reaves, so this is not attractive to the Hawks, and both teams are not very cold to each other.
The player who is helpful to the Lakers and the Lakers are most likely to get should be DeRozan, DeRozan's asking price is not high, it depends on whether the Lakers are willing to get Reaves, but getting DeRozan Lakers is just changing the current record, if the Nuggets and Clippers are imaginary enemies in the playoffs, it will be difficult for the Lakers to cross these two teams.
But there is another person who may be able to change the situation of the Lakers, that is, Mitchell of the Cavaliers, Mitchell has always wanted to play in big city teams and win championships, the Lakers' attraction to Mitchell is self-evident, and the Cavaliers want to get players who want to be the same as Mitchell, and the Lakers can send Reaves + Hachimura + Russell, and get the Cavaliers' Mitchell and Dion Wade + some cash. Mitchell can score, and he has done a good job defensively this year, which is in line with the current situation of the Lakers, who currently need a backcourt player with impact and defense, because James is there after all, and it is not realistic for physical fitness to ask him to score and organize all over the court while participating in more defense. The Lakers will be able to form at that time, thick eyebrows, James, Prince, Reddish, Mitchell, and Wood, Vanderbilt, Dion Wade, Vincent, Christie off the bench. This set of starters can definitely wrestle with any team in the NBA, but only if Coach Ham also leaves.
The Lakers will definitely make a trade before the trade deadline, and it depends on how the Lakers general manager operates!
