The Los Angeles Lakers have been involved in their fair share of trade rumors already, and even though much of their roster isn’t eligible to be moved until Saturday, a team firmly looking for ways to win now with LeBron James on the roster is always going to be the subject of such gossip.
What that means is that much of the roster will exist in a state of flux, and have to cope with the ramifications of that. The Lakers are seeing that right now, with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope having his name floated in multiple rumors, while the Lakers’ young core is reportedly safe (for now at least).
