With the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns heading in opposite directions, the former signed Tyson Chandler when the latter surprisingly bought him out.
Now, a quarter into the 2018-19 NBA season, Trevor Ariza is an ideal trade candidate after signing a one-year, $15 million deal in free agency.
As a result, the Lakers are reportedly trying to trade for Ariza, who previously played for them from the 2007-09 seasons and won one championship.
However, the Suns are not interested in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the Lakers have plenty of competition, according to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.
