Halfway through the 2023-24 season, the Los Angeles Lakers still missed the top eight in the West, and it was reported that the Los Angeles Lakers had been trying to trade away D'Angelo Russell to assist LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With the NBA trade market coming to an end, there is not much time left for the 30 teams to reinforce.
The Lakers sent Austin Reaves, Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Jalen Hood Schifino and a 2029 first-round pick to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic!
It is worth mentioning that both DeRozan and Vucevic can directly help the Lakers to score and defend inside. This is a player that both Pelinka and James are very much needed, and of course, the Lakers have also sent a group of young players because of this, so the weakness of the Lakers' bench is very considerable and a problem that needs to be solved urgently. It might be better if we brought in another veteran to lead the way. Of course, Paul was rumored to be buying out with the Warriors.
If this deal goes through, is the Lakers championship any hope? Welcome to communicate in the comment area.
