The Los Angeles Lakers are targeting several players for the trade deadline in February, including Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal. The news was initially reported by Jovan Buha of The Athletic. The “money quote,” which Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll pulled from Buha’s piece is here:
In the ultimate pie-in-the-sky scenario, the Lakers have interest in Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal if any of the three stars were to become available.
It is no secret that the Lakers are looking for a player who can be an additional All-Star along side LeBron James and Anthony Davis as part of a playoff push.
