Lakers supporters have been urging roster changes to bring some excitement to the team, and as the trade deadline draws near, it seems like there may be some new faces to watch.
Several other possible trade targets for the Lakers have been listed by Jovan Buha of The Athletic, in addition to LA’s well-known interest in Zach LaVine and Dejounte Murray. Bruce Brown and Gary Trent Jr. are on that list; the latter is a client of Klutch Sports.
Jerami Grant, another client of Klutch Sports, was also mentioned, along with Terry Rozier.
On January 19, Buha wrote, “Every player fills at least one of the Lakers’ three needs.”
Throughout the season, Grant, 29, is averaging 21.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. In addition, he’s scoring a career-high 40.0 per
He is in the first year of a five-year, $160 million contract, and the Blazers are rumored to want to keep him, so the Lakers may have a long shot with him.
Another interesting choice is Rozier. This season, the Hornets guard is averaging career-highs in both assists (6.7) and points (23.6).
Although Rozier wouldn’t be inexpensive either, he would be less expensive than Grant. He is currently in the second year of a four-year, $96 million contract, with only a partial guarantee for the last year.
