NBA Trade Rumors: 1 Splash move fringe contenders should make to possibly win a title
Lakers trade
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are likely going to be one of the more aggressive teams at the NBA Trade Deadline. Considering time is ticking for LeBron James and that this team is built to win now, the Lakers don't have the luxury of waiting around to make a splash move. And with their interest in Zach LaVine still very much a mystery at this point, perhaps they could look to another player in an attempt to find some championship value.
Terry Rozier is an interesting name to keep an eye on. He'd fill a role that the Lakers desperately need at the point guard position (with D'Angelo Russell and Gabe Vincent leaving much to be desired) and he's on a favorable contract considering the Lakers' financial situation.
The big question is whether Rozier would be able to mesh quickly with LeBron, Anthony Davis, and Austin Reaves enough that this is a move that will drastically raise the ceiling for the Lakers this season. However, Rozier does a lot of what the Lakers are missing from the point guard.
