Lakers Giving Serious Thought To Not Making Major Trade This Season - RealGM Wiretap...
The Los Angeles Lakers are giving serious consideration to riding out the current season without making a major move if they can’t find one that would make them a realistic championship contender, sources tell Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times.
The Lakers turned around their season a few weeks ago when Anthony Davis began playing at an All-NBA level, but they have struggled since his injury.
Rob Pelinka said on media day that the Lakers were committed to maximizing the roster during the tenure of LeBron James.
The Lakers have tested the trade market by offering the expiring contract of Russell Westbrook and future first round picks in 2027 and 2029, but that package is unlikely to yield the type of move that turns the team into a contender.
