What will the Lakers do?

Just a few weeks ago, it was believed that the Los Angeles Lakers would be highly active in the days leading up to the NBA trade deadline in an attempt to create the maximum possible salary cap space heading into a huge summer.

However, it’s now being reported that the Lakers could wait to play the big game free agency market until the summer of 2019. If so, there really isn’t that much of an incentive for LA to trade players just for the sake of trading them.

With no pressure of the Lakers to make a big deal today, will they do anything?
