2024-01-24 00:21:50 Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka saved the team from defeat with a wonderful trade around the same time last year. Now the team’s performance in the 2023-24 season is mediocre and may need to operate again to help them go further. Now the team has three options: sit still, gamble big for a star, or trade for a point guard or playoff role player.

According to well-known ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin, there are only 16 days left before the NBA trade deadline on February 9. The Lakers must make a decision. They may continue to wait and see, but if their record does not improve, they may make a trade. ▲The Lakers are very interested in trading Atlanta Hawks Dejounte Murray and regard him as a potential trade target. (Photo/AP/Dazhi Image)Zach LaVine has been waived as Lakers finesse trade talks for Dejounte MurrayPrevious reports have stated that Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine is currently not considered an option, citing a variety of reasons. First, injuries have caused him to miss 18 games this season, and second, his performance has not translated to the team. Success, and the salary in the next two years will be as high as 9,000, plus a player option of $49 million in the 2026-27 season. Dejounte Murray is still the one the Purple and Gold Army is trying to acquire. The 27-year-old Atlanta Hawks combo guard averaged 21.1 points per game this season, shooting 47.1% from the field and 38.2% from three-point range, both setting career highs. , in addition to contributing 4.9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals. Murray’s salary this season is $18.2 million, but the question now is whether the team is willing to give up D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, a future first-round pick, Austin Reaves or another package of young players to acquire him? ▲Old guard Dennis Schroder is the Lakers’ target as a backup point guard. (Photo/AP/Dazhi Image)Looking for backup point guard candidates, old guard Dennis Schroder and new love Bruce Brown are both target candidates.The role that the Lakers have been missing almost all season is a backup point guard. ESPN pointed out in the report that the Lakers regretted that their lineup lacked speed, continuous cutting into the penalty area and the organizational ability of the second unit. Gabe Vincent suffered a left knee injury. The continued absence has caused them to start looking for other replacements. The two players the Lakers are currently discussing internally are Collin Sexton of the Utah Jazz and Tyus Jones of the Washington Wizards. In addition, Dennis Schroder and Bruce Brown of the Toronto Raptors are also targets of the team. The Raptors recently completed a trade with the New York Knicks, acquiring RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Schroder may be given up. He had a heavy role with the Lakers last season; and Brown was the mid-level player the Lakers wanted to use last summer. The top candidate for special signing was only intercepted by the Pacers. The Lakers are also considering trading for players who can help them in the playoffs, such as Andre Drummond, who can deal with Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gorodn, and large wings like Dorian Finney-Smith, who can be used to guard Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
