Los Angeles Lakers: 5 realistic trade targets ahead of the deadline

Los Angeles Lakers trade target: Eric Gordon

It’s tough to envision the Lakers making a trade that will significantly raise the ceiling for the team heading into the second half of the season. Although, it would be wise for them to try and find some reinforcements to help them turn their season around.

One logical trade target for the team is Eric Gordon, who the Houston Rockets will likely move ahead of the trade deadline. Gordon is a player that fits better than Russell Westbrook next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis and could give this team a boost offensively (even off the bench if desired).

Gordon is averaging 15 points per game on 51 percent shooting from the field and 46 percent shooting from 3-point range. There’s no question he’d be an asset to the Lakers.
