"Lakers Trade Deadline Update: Latest Team News"

The Lakers are expected to make minor moves at the trade deadline due to D'Angelo Russell's improved performance, the team's recent quality wins, and the high asking prices in the trade market. Potential targets like Alex Caruso, Dorian Finney-Smith, Bruce Brown, Xavier Tillman, and Kelly Olynyk all come with steep price tags, with other players like Royce O'Neal, Lonnie Walker IV, Alec Burks, and Tyus Jones also expected to cost multiple second-round picks. Talks with Atlanta over Dejounte Murray stalled, and the Lakers may focus on smaller moves while keeping the option to use three first-round picks in a bigger deal on draft night.
