The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in acquiring Portland Trail Blazers players Robert Williams III and Jerami Grant in a potential trade.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been mentioned as potential trade partners for the Portland Trail Blazers , even before the season started. The Lakers , currently the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference play-in race, need to improve their standing. Meanwhile, the Lakers have mid-sized contracts and future draft picks that could be appealing to Portland. Los Angeles is looking for a defense-first center, a 3-and-D swingman who can close out games, and a large point-of-attack guard.
According to reports, former All-Defensive center Robert Williams III and veteran power forward Jerami Grant are the Portland players considered most appealing to the Lakers. Williams could bolster the Lakers' interior defense when Davis is off the court, but Grant might be more versatile. The Lakers are likely to make a trade closer to the NBA's February 6th deadline, hoping to see injured big men Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood return to the lineup first
