?He?ll Be a Laker by Then?: Rumored to Become LeBron James? Teammate, NBA Sharp Shooter?s All-Star Weekend Might Get Better if Fans? Dreams Come True

In the bottom half of the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers are no doubt struggling this season. Be it constant injuries to their star and role players or their performances on the road. With a 25-28 record, the Lakers are far from making the playoffs if things don?t change soon. The front office did pull the trigger on trading Rui Hachimura, but surely that wasn?t enough to make a big splash in the hardened Western Conference. However, a long-time trade interest of the Lakers has gained traction once again as the trade deadline nears.?

Buddy Hield of the Indiana Pacers has been in the trade talks for quite some time. The Lakers have shown keen interest in trading for him and also Myles Turner as well. Though nothing had been surmised so far, Laker fans are convinced that the front office will make something happen.?

LeBron James could be getting a sharpshooter beside him

According to Pacers beat writer Scott Agness, Buddy Hield is all set to participate in the three-point contest during this year?s All-Star weekend. This has fans convinced that by the time that happens, Hield will be donning a purple and gold jersey by then.

Many fans are convinced that the Lakers? front office will somehow work out a trade with the Pacers to bring Hield to L.A., and play alongside?Anthony Davis and LeBron James.

Will the Lakers be able to work out a trade?

The trade rumors surrounding Buddy Hield and also Myles Turner had gotten so out of hand that fans were fed up with it. Many believed that the Lakers and the Pacers won?t be able to work anything out so there was no point fanning this particular flame.

Though, no solid report has come out as of yet about the Pacers and the Lakers coming to an agreement as the trade deadline fast approaches. If these two teams do work out a trade, it will majorly benefit the Lakers who arguably could use all the help they can get.?
