The Los Angeles Lakers have been mentioned in a lot of trade rumors in recent weeks. The team leads the Western Conference, but if they are going to remain there and take home a title, there are some specific needs the team has to address.
Some bench help, specifically players that can get their own shot, is near the top of that list. If that player is a point guard, it is even better.
The team can also use another defender on the wing. They are patiently waiting on Andre Iguodala to be bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies, but they have remained steadfast in looking for trade compensation in return for Iguodala.
