After all, the lakers are still the 10th seed in the western conference with a 21-21 record, having won more than half of the games so far this season. It’s therefore not surprising that the lakers are leaning toward signing a new player before the trade deadline of february 8.
According to Jovan buha of the athletic, the lakers and the atlanta hawks are still in negotiations for a trade in order to acquire dejounte murray, a 2029 first-round draft pick, as well as additional draft compensation, according to the tweet above. The lakers’ dynamic duo of lebron james and anthony davis have been doing a fantastic job this season.
Dejounte Murray, on the other hand, leads the atlanta hawks in scoring, rebounds, and assists per game at an average of 21.0. Given their recent woes in losing games, the hawks could begin their rebuilding process by moving murray away. With a 17-23 record so far this season, the hawks are now the 10th seed in the eastern conference.
