It has been reported that the Los Angeles Lakers have been trying for weeks to complete a trade for Dejounte Murray. However, because the organization lacks the kind of trade package that would entice the Atlanta Hawks, negotiations have stagnated. But D’Angelo Russell’s recent impressive play may be a big factor in a deal finally closing.
After reaching the halfway point of the season, the Lakers are now vying for a spot in the 2024 NBA Playoffs and to remain above.500. Their season results have been extremely disappointing, especially in light of the talent on the roster and the money they spent this summer to retain a team that made it to the Western Conference Finals the previous year.
For weeks, there have been rumors that the team is planning to make a significant trade to change things up and give them some momentum heading into the stretch run. Dejounte Murray, a guard for the Atlanta Hawks, is the player who has been frequently associated with the team. But according to recent reports, their best efforts appear to have fallen short, and it may take the involvement of a third team to complete a trade.
