Despite starting the season with a Western Conference-leading 10-2 record behind Luka Doncic, the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly pursuing trade targets to bolster their perimeter depth and backup center rotation. Key reported targets include Derrick Jones Jr., PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Karlo Matkovic, Jalen Smith, Goga Bitadze, Day'Ron Sharpe, and Jericho Sims.

To acquire upgrades before the trade deadline, the Lakers could potentially part with several players.
