A big file already closed at the Lakers? “There is a 0% chance that this will happen”

As the trade deadline inevitably draws closer, the Lakers are working hard to find reinforcement on the market, hoping to turn their season around in this way. However, according to a famous insider, one of their leads should already be forgotten.

Last year, we had to wait until January 23 to see the Angelino leaders conclude a deal and begin a renewal in their team. It remains to be seen whether their timing will prove similar this season. The Lakers seem in any case once again destined to liven up the transfer market. After all, their record turns out to be identical to that which it presented at this period in 2023 (19-21) and invites changes.

A star from the East finally left out of the Lakers’ plans?

Rumors have been circulating about the Lakers for weeks now. The most persistent thus concern Dejounte Murray and Zach LaVine, whom the Bulls would a priori be delighted to get rid of . However, it may be difficult for them to do so, or at least to send him to Los Angeles. In any case, this is what Brian Windhorst suggests in his Hoop Collective Podcast :

Brian Windhorst: “I think there is a 0% chance that Zach LaVine will be traded to the Lakers. »

Less and less hot lately, the LaVine track would no longer really be explored by the Purple & Gold. It must be said that recovering the winger’s astronomical contract would represent a significant risk. If some fans are satisfied with this update, others seem to regret it:

It didn’t fit their needs anyway

He has to come to the Lakers what are they doing

Once announced as the Lakers’ priority target on the market, Zach LaVine would ultimately no longer have any chance of joining Los Angeles according to Brian Windhorst. To see if the information – or the intuition – of the ESPN journalist will be confirmed.
