The Los Angeles Lakers failed to trade for Anthony Davis, but they still managed to improve their roster during the 2018-19 NBA trade deadline.
The Lakers managed to trade for Reggie Bullock and Mike Muscala, two shooters who should greatly improve the team’s spacing. Los Angeles has largely struggled to hit from that range, but Bullock and Muscala should find rotational minutes as soon as they are eligible to play given their skillsets.
However, president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka still have an opportunity to improve the team as there are several players who should be available in the buyout market.
