As for the Lakers themselves, two prominent NBA insiders have warned against expecting any groundbreaking moves. “Boring,” Tim Bontemps told ESPN when asked what the Lakers’ trade deadline picture could look like. “Yes, the Lakers will probably make a move or two on the margins — maybe with Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn and a pick, almost certainly moving someone like [DeAndre] Jordan to save money — but the idea that some season-changing trade is going to arrive just seems extremely unlikely given the limited trade assets the Lakers have at their disposal.”
