Trade season is officially upon us, with most of the league now eligible for trades as of Dec. 15. And in the midst of a disappointing season, the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be buyers. However, given their lack of assets, making a move may prove to be difficult.
Outside of the big three of Russell Westbrook, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers really only have two tradable salaries: Talen Horton’s $9.5 million salary and Kendrick Nunn’s $5 million salary. Combined in a trade, they’d allow the Lakers to take back $18.
