The Los Angeles Lakers may not have traded for Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans, but they improved their roster in hopes of a deep playoff run.
Throughout the 2018-19 NBA season, the Lakers have struggled with shooting and president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka addressed that area by trading for Reggie Bullock and Mike Muscala.
By making these two trades, the Lakers also have an open roster spot available. While all of the attention has been on Carmelo Anthony, there are numerous players who have already been bought out by the March 1 deadline.
