The Lakers have a decision to make at the looming Feb. 23 trade deadline. Do they continue to try and push for a playoff spot with their current roster or do they trade their key veterans to title contenders?
While most fans are hoping for the latter, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak hasn’t made a move at the trade deadline since 2014, when the Lakers traded Steve Blake to the Warriors for MarShon Brooks and Kent Bazemore. Since then, the Purple and Gold have been inactive at the deadline and Kupchak believes that this year will be no different.
