Lakers Rumors: Trade For Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, or Bojan Bogdanovic? Panic Time In LA?



Lakers Rumors: Trade For Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, or Bojan Bogdanovic? Panic Time In LA?

Hey you never want to miss out on a thing that is why you subscribe to the Lakers report because when breaking news happens we’ve got you covered covering the Lakers in all angles that’s why you subscribe so another edition of the Lakers report starts right now coming up on today’s show we’ve got

A lot to talk about as it relates to the purple and gold and I’m going to need some help not hitting the panic button we’re going to discuss whether or not it is time to panic in Los Angeles and maybe some potential trades that could help this team take a step forward

Because obviously right now things are tough and last but certainly not least we’ll get into some specifics thanks to a recent article from Bleacher Report that has a couple of noteworthy names that may be linked to the Lakers which could certainly help out when you consider what this team has been going

Through as of late it hasn’t been pretty 3 and8 in their last 11 games not great not great in fact uh not very good at all 21st ranked offense in that stretch with the 20th ranked defense not a recipe for success and when you put it all together the season ended right now

This Lakers team is uh not where you want to be as the 10th seed in the Western Conference and obvious ly I know they’re a better basketball team than that you know they’re a better basketball team than that and it’s time for Darin ham and the rest of the

Coaching staff to start figuring out some things as it relates to what the best rotation is how can this team start playing better ball and so on and so forth so I’m asking you what say you what do you attribute to the poor performance in the last 11 games maybe

Not enough ball movement lack of Defense anything in between this Lakers team has not shown the ability to win meaningful games in their last 11 obviously 3 and eight they’ve also really struggled at both ends of the floor as the 21st ranked offense would suggest as well as

The 20th ranked defense in that 11 game stretch so chalk it all up to what let me know in the comments now LeBron James spoke on the I want to call it a losing streak but obviously just the rough stretch on the Lakers struggles right

Now he said I guess I got a small sample size of what we can be when we’re whole I have a more of a larger pie of what we look like when we’re not so that’s the discouraging part right there no excuse because everybody goes through injuries and everyone goes through travel and

Things of that nature this league is built on that so we just have to figure it out and that’s kind of where I’m at with this Lakers team right now I don’t want to hear the injury excuse and the travel and the backto backs and everything else that seems to be

Attributed to NBA teams when they’re not playing up to their potential I just want some accountability and more importantly than that I want to see it turn around I know you want that as well because as we’ve discussed this team just isn’t playing their best basketball and things need to change the rotation

Still in my opinion hasn’t been figured out there’s obviously been some injuries that have contributed to the poor play at the end of the day you got to figure it out just as LeBron instead and figure out ways to start playing better basketball so I ask you where are you at

As far as your Panic level is it time to hey this is this is uh crisis mode we’ve got a crisis on our hands I’m at a 10 or are you saying relax 17 and 17 500 plenty of season left leave it more closer to A1 let me know in the comments

Scale it 1 through 10 because you might sound like I’m at of 10 and I maybe take a step back a little bit and say I’m right in the middle out of five I am moderately concerned that maybe this team isn’t as good as we had hoped or

Perhaps that we had thought despite the notable names on the roster as well as the potential of what this team can be and I know the inseason tournament say what you will about it and at this point it’s kind of ancient history but we know

It’s out there we saw what this team is capable based on the way they played in the end SE in season tournament and again chalk it up to whatever you may there is no doubt about it this team has struggled over recent games so that said I’m moderately concerned right at A5 now

Coming up we’ll talk about maybe some ways to improve the roster with some trade rumors and everything else that is being discussed around the association but first I got to give a huge shout out to today’s presenting sponsor would not be possible to bring you the Lakers report without the best daily fantasy

Platform out there that is prize picks and you know by now where the magic happens it’s that priz picks.com CNS and you probably know how to play anyways but you simply pick more or less on a players projected stat line usually I’m giving you some Lakers picks but how

About with the return of Joel embid let’s get wild in that 76ers Chicago Bulls game I think he’s going to come out with a maybe a point to prove and I’m going more on 342 points for Alex Caruso one of the guys we’re going to talk about in just a minute here I’ll

Pick more on his projected point total 11 a half and Andre Drummond missed me with the 12 points projected I’ll take the less there so that’s how it works price.com CNS and because we love you and we care about you we’ve got a $100 deposit match up to a $100 deposit match

Waiting for you when you use that code clns at price.com CNS so don’t wait we’ll put that link in the comments and the description of today’s video as well well but daily fantasy done the right way priz pick and it’s at price.com CNS all right next evaluating some

Potential trades for the Los Angeles Lakers Bleacher Report had an article identifying some of the top targets that the Lakers are kind of rumored to be on the Move in pursuit of we start with one you’ve heard one time no not I’m going to sound like LeBron not one not to

We’ve heard this a thousand times Zack LaVine and it’s because he adds such a exciting and new Dynamic with the ability to score the basketball in an efficient manner and I feel like I’m going back and forth on this because sometimes I really think that is our guy

Go get Zack LaVine and other times I think you know it’s all Sizzle no stake but 21 points per game he’s known as a scorer lacks a little bit defensively but the efficiency there behind the long line 33% field goal percentage overall at 44% he’s a guy that would obviously

Make a splash around the association but there are some concerns as we’ve discussed at length and time and time again but it’s worth reiterating the injury is a part of the equation or the lingering issues injury issues I should say as well as that massive contract so

This is the old swing for the fences Home Run tra home run trade make a big splash that sort of thing and make of it what you will now another one that’s very interesting from The Windy City in the Chicago Bulls Alex Caruso obviously a familiar face a good friend of ours

Former Laker Legend Alex guso and Chicago has been pretty transparent about not wanting to move Alex Caruso so that becomes a big part of the equation as well but a guy that adds so much to any lineup that he’s in 10 points per game 45% from three-point land and overall

Field goal percentage above 50% really impressive but as I mentioned the Bulls have said no no no no he’s not going anywhere however if the Lakers front office could find a way to make something happen I wouldn’t put it past him and that would be a guy to keep your

Eye on maybe you know they make him an offer you can’t refuse something like that now lastly and this one might surprise you but bu on bonovich now he’s been hurt earlier this season and he plays in the motor City aka the home of the NBA’s longest losing streak so not a

Lot of people talking about the Pistons for the right reasons it’s only because they’ve lost so many games but make no mistake about it buan bonovich is a guy that can fill it up and get you points and get you buckets nearly 20 points per game and again this is a season he’s

Only played 14 games go back to last year and he was one of the better players on that Pistons team which again it’s the Pistons so make of it what you will but buan bonovich is a score that can really provide that third scoring option that this Lakers team is in

Desperate need of so those are your three that have been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers and I need you to help me out and pick one right now in the comments who do you want the Lakers to trade for it’s Zack LaVine it’s real

Simple throw me a Za in the comments if it’s our guy Alex Caruso bring him back to LA huh type AC or if you want to get wild how about BB for buan bonovich now as I often do I’ve worked together a little trade proposal that I’d love your

Opinion on maybe it’s just straight up Buon bonovich for D’Angelo Russell the Lakers have been wanting to unload D’Angelo Russell and buan bonovich may be a kind of under the radar guy to add to the scoring potential of this Lakers offense and in Detroit if a team is

Willing to to make a trade with you what do you got to lose I mean the Pistons gosh that what was the losing streak 28 games give them D’Angelo Russell and maybe they’ll be happy as they try to rebuild because that roster is um let me think of a word that’s not totally

Disrespectful other than it’s terrible it is completely terrible so maybe the addition of D’Angelo Russell could be something that they’re interested in let me know what you think of the trade proposal in the comments give me a grade A B C D or F if it’s the worst one

You’ve ever seen now I want to thank everybody for tuning in to this edition of Lakers report it’s always a pleasure to be on the air with you talking purple and gold basketball and hey maybe if some Lakers players watch this they’ll think we got to turn it around and play

  1. Zach Lavine the only one that helps, Alex Caruso is his an add on piece; he’s not on par with KCP or Derrick White

  2. as much i love Zach, his 3pt % is only 33% that's super low, even lower than Lebron rn. We need someone that can shoot like mitchell and Trae

  3. Obviously, the best bet is Bojan Bogdanovic. He's averaging 20 points per game, is a legitimate 'big man' and he's as healthy as an ox.

  4. What team so stupid to traded for the garbage team like the laker pelinka is going to make another stupid trade I guarantee!
