Lakers trade:Lakers Targeting Reliable Role Player to Support Davis and James…
The Los Angeles Lakers aim to retool this offseason rather than simply reload, as they did last year. This period will be crucial for everyone involved. While there is much speculation about the Lakers’ potential moves, soon they will need to take action to strengthen their roster.
The team is expected to pursue a trade for either a third star or a reliable role player to support Anthony Davis and LeBron James. Although the specific target is uncertain, one Eastern Conference executive suggests rival sharpshooter Michael Porter Jr. as a strong candidate.
“If they want to improve, they should target him,” the executive told Heavy Sports. “They need a fearless shooter who can also play as a 3-4 like LeBron, avoiding any size mismatches. A reliable shooter who can create space is essential for the Lakers to return to contender status.”
