It seems there is some major impatience within the Los Angeles Lakers’ organization for noteworthy moves in offseason.
According to Sean Deveney of heavy.com, the 17-time NBA champions are seeking ways to trade for star players and bolster their roster.
“They’re eager to do something. The team they have is just not good enough right now. Everyone there wants to see a resolution to the (Russell) Westbrook situation. They want to see about Kyrie (Irving).
They want to get what they can from Indiana once they start selling off pieces, whether it is Buddy Hield or Myles Turner or both.
So there is some major impatience, and they are looking at LeBron (James) maybe getting an extension next month and they want to have everything in place. Well, nothing’s in place yet,” one Western Conference executive told Deveney.
The @celtics center @rob_williamsIII has had no setbacks or pain after grinding his way through the postseason, I was told. Plan is to rest for 6 weeks & next month he will report to @SanfordPOWER in Irvine, Cal, to get season-ready. More @HeavyOnSports: https://t.co/1dUue0yW4f — Sean Deveney (@SeanDeveney) July 15, 2022
So far, the Lakers have added Juan Toscano-Anderson, Troy Brown Jr., Thomas Bryant, Damian Jones and Lonnie Walker, but none of them is expected to have a key role next season.
In addition, the franchise has already been linked to Brooklyn Nets’ superstar Kyrie Irving as well as Indiana Pacers’ duo of Buddy Hield and Myles Turner.
