The Lakers have been linked to multiple big names this offseason, with the idea of adding a potential third star. Los Angeles still has LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the roster but lacks quality depth around the two stars. Since the beginning of time, the Lakers have been a star-driven franchise, so adding another player isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
One of the biggest names on the trade block for Los Angeles has been point guard Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks. Young has been linked to the Lakers for some time now but no deal has come about yet. Atlanta just moved guard Dejounte Murray to the New Orleans Pelicans, signaling a potential rebuild coming. Trading away Young may make the most sense, but it seems that the Lakers’ interest in him may be fading.
