The Los Angeles Lakers are used to success. They leave no stone unturned to show the NBA world how capable they are. Recently, they won the inaugural play-in tournament by defeating the Indiana Pacers. But they are struggling in the regular season and they are yet to find a fix for that. Will they manage to get going by acquiring a star in this NBA trade window?
The Los Angeles Lakers are 10th in the Western Conference in the NBA. They have a 21-22 record, and contention is still their primary target. Here, we discuss four players the Los Angeles Lakers can acquire this season.
Bojan Bogdanovic of the Detroit Pistons to the Los Angeles Lakers
The LA Lakers can offer Cam Reddish, D’Angelo Russell, and a 2030 draft pick to land the 6-foot-7 lethal shooter. He is the kind of player who can thrive with the LA Lakers and fits their bill as well.
Terry Rozier of the Charlotte Hornets to the Los Angeles Lakers
The LA Lakers can swap D’Angelo Rusell, Gabe Vincent, and a 2029 draft pick in exchange for Terry Rozier and Nick Richards. Terry has been in great form and can be an integral part of the support system Anthony Davis and LeBron James need.

Alex Caruso of the Chicago Bulls to the Los Angeles Lakers
The LA Lakers have their eyes set on the Chicago Bulls for a while. They are interested in their defensive guard Alex Caruso and might flip him for Gabe Vincent and a 2029 and 2030 draft pick. This deal would give them arguably the best defensive guard in the league.

Keldon Johnson of the San Antonio Spurs to the Los Angeles Lakers
The LA Lakers can send D’Angelo Russell and a 2029 draft pick to the SA Spurs in exchange for Keldon Johnson. He is a brilliant shooter and can be a great asset for any contending team.
The LA Lakers have been linked with many other big names, and it would be interesting to see who they finally acquire. We’ll keep you updated.
