The rosters surrounding LeBron James and Anthony Davis need to be upgraded by the Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles has been silent this offseason despite having the assets to make a deal, but when additional players become available before the trade deadline, they could make a move.
Even though the Lakers are always linked to stars who might become available, a role player might be the ideal addition for this team without sacrificing flexibility in the future.
It’s unknown what role players are available across the league right now, but Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown is one name who is anticipated to be dealt before the deadline for the upcoming season.
Picking up Brown’s $23M team option, Toronto will likely look to move the 2023 Denver Nuggets champion. In a recent article detailing potential Lakers trade targets, Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus named Brown as one option.
Via Pincus: “The Toronto Raptors opted to keep Bruce Brown Jr. ($23 million) to trade him. Chris Boucher is also believed to be available. Neither is an exact fit for L.A., but they could be targeted in a complex multi-team deal.
Brown was an integral piece to Denver’s 2023 title, and a player the Lakers got familiar with in the Western Conference Finals that year. If the price is right, Brown could be the type of connecting role player that elevates several Lakers lineups.
