Second The Athletic the Los Angeles Lakers are active on the NBA market to add at least one good perimeter defender to the group.
After 26 games the yellow and purple have the sixth best attack of the League, but the 22nd defense with 117.1 points conceded per 100 possessions.
An aspect that coach Redick often mentioned in the post-game, referring in particular to the role-players supporting the trio of Doncic, Reaves and James.
With the 3 together on the pitch the yellow and purple have a negative net rating (-5.1 in 132 minutes), a fact that can be at least partially justified by the various physical problems that affected the 3 in the first third of the regular season.
The Athletic lists the names of Herb Jones and Keon Ellis among the possible targets.
Remember that the Lakers have an unprotected first round pick and a second round pick available.
