As the injury worries mount for LeBron James & Co, the Los Angeles Lakers are in desperate need of steadying the ship. As the number of injuries increase, the trade rumors surrounding the team also simultaneously increased. Most notably, the fans witnessed rumors involving King James as well. However, a recent Lakers trade rumor involving two free agents sparked the NBA Twitter. The fans went haywire on Twitter, expressing their opinions.

The recent injuries massively impacted the Lakers’ performance. During their last outing against the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers had six players unavailable for selection due to injury. The team missed stars like LeBron James, Patrick Beverley, and Anthony Davis during the game. The team, in turn, squandered a terrible loss against the Nuggets (122-109).

Will the two free agents steady LeBron James & Co?

Amid the injury worries, a Bleacher Report article stated that DeMarcus Cousins could have a tryout with the Lakers camp in the first week of January. Currently, Cousins is a free agent since he left the Nuggets in 2021. Buts, there hasn’t been any official update yet regarding the tryout. Additionally, Shams Charania, a senior NBA insider for The Athletic revealed that Meyers Leonard could also work out with the team. Notably, both of the stars haven’t played a single NBA game since 2021.
