With the NBA trade deadline less than two weeks away, teams like the Los Angeles Lakers should be scouring the market looking for meaningful upgrades to help their playoff push.
Although the Lakers have been playing better basketball as of late, there are still several needs on the roster. Los Angeles already made one move, sending out D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. While Finney-Smith has been the perfect role player for the Lakers, the team could use another true center or perimeter scoring threat to round out the roster.
