The LA Lakers registered a huge win today against the Utah Jazz. Despite an average performance by far in the season, they clinched their ninth win of the season by 32 points. However, there are talks around the hoop community that the LA franchise needs a few new players on their roster.

Recently, an ex-Laker voiced his opinion on their trade possibilities. As per the 7x NBA champion, Zach LaVine could soon be seen in the purple and gold. The NBA veteran dissected the possibilities in detail on a recent episode of his podcast.

Zack LaVine to the Lakers?

On paper, the Lakers are a pretty stacked team. However, it seems like they haven’t figured out a balance where multiple players can contribute to the team’s success. The majority of the heavy lifting till now has been done by LeBron James, despite him being 38 years old. Apart from LeBron, Anthony Davis has come through in bits and pieces throughout the tournament so far. This begs the question, will this be enough for a championship-worthy season? Several fans, as well as pundits, believe that they need more than what we have seen from them till now.

Recently, the rumors around LaVine’s trade to the Lakers have been doing the rounds. The Chicago Bulls star could possibly soon be seen representing the LA franchise. The Lakers have made it clear that there is room for improvement in the team and are willing to make major moves to do that. However, which player can be traded for LaVine, is still not clear.

Robert Horry, on his podcast “Big Shot Bob”, recently discussed the rumor and had his pick for the player who could be traded. Horry said the Lakers could let go of D’Angelo Russell in their move for LaVine and it would be a good fit for them.

The 7x NBA champion also said that there is no other player he can think of from the roster who could be traded.

Can LeBron James and Anthony Davis save the Lakers’ season?

The franchise has won nine games and lost six till now in the series. They are currently on a three-game winning streak and their last win against the Jazz must have been a confidence booster. Four players on the team scored more than 15 points in a high-scoring game for the Lakers. AD was the highest scorer with 26 points and 16 rebounds whereas LeBron scored 19 points with seven rebounds and nine assists.

Whether the trade rumor will amount to anything, time will tell. Regardless, it will be a good addition for them moving ahead into the season.
