Los Angeles Lakers: 3 targets that could bolster shooting for new-look Lakers

Jeremy Lamb, Indiana Pacers (trade target)

Jeremy Lamb could emerge as an interesting trade candidate for many teams. If the Lakers are looking for a cheap option via the trade market, Lamb could be one that would help them on the wing.

Lamb is an expiring contract and considering that it’s going to be unlikely that the Pacers re-sign him, it wouldn’t be that surprising if they elected to trade him at the NBA Trade Deadline – or even before. Though, there is some risk. Lamb returned from injury last season but didn’t carry the same workload as he did pre-injury.

The good news is that in the short sample size since his return, Lamb did show flashes of his previous self. In fact, he was quite efficient as he shot 44 percent shooting from the field and 41 percent shooting from 3-point range. He’s absolutely a player that could help a team looking for help on the wing, specifically when it comes to 3-point shooting.
