Lakers Reportedly Inquired About Availability Of Two Guards Ahead Of Trade Deadline

The Los Angeles Lakers will probably pull out a few moves in the next period. LeBron James’ Lakers are expected to go after two guards before the trade deadline. The team stands at the top of the Western Conference. Other NBA teams make the pressure even bigger. Los Angeles has one injured player. Center DeMarcus Cousins is the only Laker listed with an official injury. Will the Lakers boost the depth at point guard?

In the last day of the deadline, Los Angeles has contacted the Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder. Spencer Dinwiddie and Dennis Schroder are their top targets as confirmed by ESPN’s Zach Lowe.

Dinwiddie scored at a career-high rate of 21.3 points per contest so far in the season. Kyrie Irving averages more points per game this season. Only his marks are better than Dinwiddie’s numbers. Dinwiddie has good size for a guard, and he knows when to dish the rock. He is a unique guard option for LeBron James and his team.

The Lakers may get two guards prior to the trade deadline

Schroder isn’t as efficient as Dinwiddie. However, he is finally getting acquainted with playing for the Thunder. The German guard improved each season spent with the Atlanta Hawks. Schroder found a way to make the most of his minutes off the bench. He has gained more confidence in his game on the floor.

LeBron has been receiving a lot of help this season. But it’s always good to have another player getting ready to contribute to the game. If the Lakers make a move at the trade deadline, they better provide depth in the backcourt. Let’s see if this interest will stay alive by the end of the trade deadline.

Los Angeles plays really well so far, and they better keep playing this far. How will the Lakers cope with the pressure in the next few weeks? Adding another guard would be of great help for the team. Anthony Davis arrived at the right time, and he gives LeBron a hand on the floor. The Lakers are ready to win a title, and they will do that in honor of legend Kobe Bryant.
