The Los Angeles Lakers are near the top of the Western Conference where they will be for some time with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. This is a team that is primed to win their second straight championship and they could solidify that notion by adding another player on the perimeter. Los Angeles could find a rebuilding team looking to sell at the NBA trade deadline.
This is the Orlando Magic. After two postseason berths, the Magic look like they are going to have that streak end this season. Orlando is currently 13-23 and 14th in the Eastern Conference.
We have seen many players involved in trade rumors as the Magic could decide to blow it up and rebuild quickly. Terrence Ross could be one of the players sent away. He is averaging 15.5 points per contest off the bench for the Magic this season.
The Lakers made some key additions in the offseason. Both Dennis Schroder and Montrezl Harrell have been welcomed additions for Los Angeles this season.
