The Los Angeles Lakers are almost always involved heavily in NBA trade rumors every season, but under Rob Pelinka (sans Magic Johnson) they have yet to make a deadline deal. But with this season’s group trudging through seemingly endless stretches of muck, this might be the year Pelinka is finally compelled to make a deal, especially given the kind of talent potentially available on the market.
The issue is, however, there just isn’t much for them to offer. So, this week on “The Hook,” Aaron Larsuel and I discussed the situations in both Indiana and Portland, and whether the players potentially moving would seriously alter the title picture this season.
