Lakers Trade Deadline Rumors: Players Hoping To Add More Playmaking

The NBA trade deadline is less than one week away. By Thursday, Feb. 6 at 12:00 p.m. PT, all trades will be made and rosters will be largely finalized for the second half of the season outside of buyout additions. The big question surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers is what assets they’ll be willing to sacrifice and what they are looking to do over the next five days.

Most of the rumors swirling have had to do with the Lakers adding a center. The team has reportedly been looking to add another quality big man all season long, but that was fueled by Anthony Davis publicly requesting to be moved back to the power forward with a starting-caliber center by his side.
