Blinksportsnews247Lakers fans have been calling for some roster changes to shake things up, and it appears there could be some new names to keep an eye on as the trade deadline approaches.
In addition to LA’s widely reported interest in Zach LaVine and Dejounte Murray, The Athletic’s Jovan Buha has listed numerous other potential trade targets for the Lakers. That list includes Bruce Brown and Gary Trent Jr, with the latter being a Klutch Sports client.
Terry Rozier was also mentioned, as was Jerami Grant, another Klutch Sports client.
“Each player fills at least one of the Lakers’ three needs,” Buha wrote on January 19.
Throughout the season, Grant, 29, is averaging 21.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. In addition, he is making a career-high 40.0% of his shots from beyond the arc.
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.
The NBA trade deadline is February 8 at 3 p.m. ET.
