The Lakers are closely followed by the deadline, Rob Pelinka continuing to scan the market in search of a new arrival. Rui Hachimura is a start, but LeBron James is rumored to be pushing for other roster changes. One of his favorites could also join him in the City of Angels.
While the Lakers hope to rebound in the coming weeks, a little reinforcement would not be too much. Rui Hachimura arrived, whileAnthony Davis is back from his injury, despite being limited in minutes. It’s a start for the Angelinos. However, be careful not to play too much with fire, especially since the right to make mistakes no longer really exists as February approaches.
New arrival planned for the Lakers
That’s why Rob Pelinka keeps probing the market for a bargain. For that, you have to look at the Cavaliers, since Caris LeVert is very popular in Los Angeles. We even talk about one of the darlings of LeBron James according to information from Sam Amico. We imagine that the King should not be unhappy with a possible trade.
The Pistons, Clippers, Hornets and Jazz have expressed an interest in signing Caris LeVert. And yes, the Lakers have studied the idea of a potential coming concerning him. Interestingly, LeVert is one of LeBron James’ favorites.
LeVert this season is 12.4 points and 3.9 rebounds, 38% from three points. Suffice to say that the interest is not crazy, especially since Lonnie Walker can already fill this role.
For supporters, a slightly taller winger or point guard is needed for the sake of the roster. We recall that Zach LaVine was also mentioned recently.
Ehhh he not what the Lakers need right now. When healthy and given touches Lonnie Walker does exactly what he does. Lakers need shooting, length, and defense.

The Lakers don’t need a player like him today. When healthy, Lonnie Walker does exactly what LeVert does. The Lakers need shot, size and defense.
What’s the point adding another guard who requires the ball to be at his best he’s an average defender and there’s 0 chance they try and retain him this offseason

What is the point of adding another guard who needs the ball to exist at his best, who is an average defender and no chance of retaining him in the offseason
LeBron James may be a fan of Caris LeVert according to some sources, but the supporters are not. At the very least, the profile of the player does not seem to correspond to the needs of the Angelinos, unlike the defense for example. Good luck finding the rare pearl on the market.
