Los Angeles Lakers didn’t quite have the start to the season that they might have expected. Therefore, as the deadline of Dec 15 ended, they went out looking for players to bolster their squad. In light of this, a recent report from NBA Insider Marc Stein suggested that the Lakers were currently looking forward to acquiring the Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal. Amid all these, another report on the Lakers’ trading intentions has recently spread throughout the Internet, which has come across as a bit of a shock to NBA fans.
The report from NBA insider Marc Stein unveiled another side of the Lakers’ trade updates. Stein revealed in his own blog that the LA side were trying to keep their picks to acquire a star player like Beal if the opportunity arises.
REPORT: The Lakers have had “serious consideration given to riding out the season without making a major deal if they can’t find one that would make the team a realistic contender.”
