The Los Angeles Lakers, enjoying a strong 15-5 start, are reportedly pursuing a trade for elite defender Herb Jones from the New Orleans Pelicans. Thi

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to many top players in recent trade rumors, and they might have to move on from a defensive guard.

The Los Angeles Lakers' 2031 and 2032 first-round picks are reportedly viewed as less valuable since the Luka Doncic trade.

The Lakers are fresh off suffering a hammering 132-119 defeat against the San Antonio Spurs in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup, and that result has opened up some wounds in their roster.

Several teams have been linked to Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in trade rumors recently. NBA insider Chris Haynes said Saturday the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves have all expressed interest in trading for the two-time league MVP.

LeBron James’ agent, Rich Paul, has already made it clear that LeBron will likely remain in LA. With James having a no-trade clause and the Lakers themselves stating they’d love for him to retire as a Laker, fans shouldn’t be using his $52 million salary in their delusional trades.

The Lakers will be active at the NBA trade deadline this year, and ESPN sees them getting in on an Anthony Davis trade (again).

There have been trade rumors around the Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga.

Particularly after the young forward registered a DNP on Dec. 7 against the Chicago Bulls.
