While their team languishes in the depths of the classification in the West, the front office of the Lakers is still prospecting the market in search of recruits. One of them would also be the subject of a big canvassing on their part these days!
By dint of seeing the staff of the franchise temporize despite the increasingly alarming situation, the fans are gradually starting to lose hope. Waiting for a significant trade for several months now, the Lakers Nation remains unsatisfied for the time being. The latest update on the subject has greatly damaged his moralebut does not prevent him from continuing to dream about certain files.
The Lakers more and more aggressive for Cam Reddish?
Reluctant to give up their future 1st-round picks, the Lakers would supposedly only consider doing so in exchange for a superstar. While waiting to see this window of opportunity open, another minor deal could make sense, like the one allowing the arrival of Cam Reddish. Longtime target of the Angelinosthe young Knicks winger has seen his price drop in recent hours according to Marc Stein:
New York is seeking only second-round draft compensation now to move Cam Reddish, per @TheSteinLine
The Mavericks, Lakers and Bucks are teams with interest in Reddish.

According to Marc Stein, New York would only require compensation based on one or more 2nd round draft picks to transfer Cam Reddish. The Mavericks, Lakers and Bucks are among the interested teams.
Strong competition for the Purple & Gold, who would nevertheless try to get ahead of it with the help of a very specific package and assembly. Sean Deveney reports the outlines for Heavy.com :
“The Lakers have been pushing to acquire little-used Knicks wing Cam Reddish, and word is that Nunn would be a chip in that deal, with a third team potentially involved.”https://t.co/nLFZ0WyhWS

The Lakers are pushing to complete the arrival of underused Cam Reddish from the Knicks, and rumor has it they’ll be getting rid of (Kendrick) Nunn in the deal, with a third team potentially involved.
Given Nunn’s performance this season and since his arrival in Los Angeles, it’s a safe bet that such a trade would make the fans happy. It remains to be seen whether it will meet the New York requirements!
Seduced by the profile of Cam Reddish for many months, the Lakers would activate to complete his arrival, with a Kendrick Nunn who would pay the price. However, be careful not to delay too long, otherwise the Mavs or the Bucks will get ahead of them!
