2 Trade Targets Los Angeles Lakers Absolutely Must Pursue

Los Angeles Lakers, NBA Trade Rumors
NBA Analysis Network

The offseason came much earlier than the Los Angeles Lakers were expecting. As we near the start of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, the Lakers are in full NBA offseason mode preparing for potential roster changes to get LeBron James more help.

Last season, the major target was Russell Westbrook. He was acquired from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

The move sacrificed depth and defensive prowess in the rotation. It showed early and often for the Lakers as they fell to the bottom of the pack and out of the playoffs.

This time around, it can be more rotation pieces that are targeted. The Lakers have hit plenty of home runs but that is not needed this time around. Unless they can find a major point guard on the block, the Lakers should focus on filling out the rotation and the bench.
