With the NBA trade deadline days away, trade rumors are starting to pick up speed and as always, the Los Angeles Lakers are going to be a team that pops up in trade talks as the deadline inches closer.
One name that has been in headlines over the past few weeks is former No. 7 pick Julius Randle. Randle, in the last year of his rookie-scale contract, is playing the best basketball of his young career which could result in a big payday for the 23-year-old forward. Unfortunately, that payday likely won’t come from the Lakers, according to a recent report.
