The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> entered the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> season with high hopes and expectations, but they don’t look like the same team that made it to the Western Conference Finals just a handful of months ago. Granted that they haven’t been healthy, yet still, they’ve failed to mesh on the court.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a> has put up his usual numbers, albeit most of them have come with the game already out of reach or in the fourth quarter. As for Anthony Davis, he’s been great for the most part, with the occasional MIA game.



But with Austin Reaves struggling to take a leap, D’Angelo Russell’s offensive inconsistency, and the rest of the supporting cast failing to rise to the occasion, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Rob Pelinka making some moves before the trade deadline.



LeBron has already spoken: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/angry-lebron-james-demands-a-lot-of-changes-from-the-lakers-after-career-worst-loss-20231128-BUS-88352.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A lot has to change</a>. And if history has taught us something, it’s that once LeBron talks, his GM listens, and he’s not going to sleep on his laurels. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the three most likely trade candidates for the Purple &amp; Gold.

<h2>3 Potential Targets For The Lakers</h2>



<h2>3. Bojan Bogdanovic</h2>



Bojan Bogdanovic has missed plenty of time with a calf injury, but he’s one of the best three-point shooters in the game, and the Lakers could use someone like him, who has a big body and can play both forward spots while also being able to stretch the floor with his shooting.



The Detroit Pistons refused to trade him last season when his trade value was at an all-time high, so perhaps they could take the same approach now. However, they’re free-falling, and he could grant them another first-round pick.



Also, matching Bogdanovic’s salary shouldn’t be too complicated for the Lakers. They could part ways with some of their young players to entice the Pistons and get them to make the deal.



<h2>2. Alex Caruso</h2>



The Los Angeles Lakers have regretted letting Alex Caruso go from the very second he walked out their doors. That was perhaps the biggest mistake of the Pelinka administration.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231130_BUS_88995_Alex-Caruso-1024x576.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Alex Caruso in action with the Chicago Bulls" class="wp-image-83886" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Alex-Caruso-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Alex-Caruso-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Alex-Caruso-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Alex-Caruso-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Alex-Caruso.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Alex Caruso in action with the Chicago Bulls</figcaption></figure>



Caruso is a championship-caliber role player. He’s not a star by any means, but he might as well be the best at what he does: Providing non-stop defensive energy off the bench, haunding rival players up and down the court, and hyping his teammates up.



The Chicago Bulls have one of the worst records in the league, and while Caruso could still be hurt by the Lakers’ reluctance to pay him and keep him, they could give him a chance to win another championship.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231130#BUS#88997"></div>


<h2>1. Zach LaVine</h2>



Zach LaVine has been tangled up in trade rumors for quite a while, and the Lakers are the most logical destination for so many reasons, such as his UCLA past and the fact that he’s also represented by Rich Paul, LeBron’s and Davis’ agent.



LaVine’s relationship with Bulls coach Billy Donovan has never been good, and with the Bulls sliding in the standings, his frustration has been more than evident. It’s now or never for them.



The tricky part will be accommodating LaVine’s massive contract in the Lakers’ books, not to mention the fact that other teams could make a better offer. Even so, he’s the other 25+ points-per-game scorer they so desperately crave right now.

Moreover, chances are that they just don’t have the personnel they need to win consecutive championships. So, as much as they love their prospects, they might have to part ways with a couple of them.
With that in mind, and considering their salary cap limitations, let’s take a look at the three likeliest trade candidates that could help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Christmas-Day-Why-is-Stephen-Curry-not-playing-for-the-Warriors-vs-Grizzlies-20221222-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a> and the Warriors straighten the ship once and for all.
<h2>NBA Trade Rumors: Potential Targets For The Warriors</h2>
<h3>3. Jakob Poeltl</h3>

</div>
The San Antonio Spurs have no interest in competing right now. All they think about is getting the first-overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft to get Victor Wembanyama, so they’ll likely trade most of their veterans.
Kevon Looney has been outstanding for the Dubs, but they just cannot trust James Wiseman. They need a backup big man who could anchor the defense and not be an offensive liability, and Jakob Poeltl fits that mold.
<h3>2. Bojan Bogdanovic</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221224_BUS_209805_bojan_bogdanovic.jpg_22993414_582bb8c9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Bojan Bogdanovic – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
The Detroit Pistons struck gold with Bojan Bogdanovic. He’s playing the best basketball in his career and has been a solid veteran influence for their young players. Nonetheless, he doesn’t fit their timeline.
So, as much as they love him, they’d be better off getting whatever they can in return for him. He’s a smart player, solid passer, efficient shooter, and solid team defender, so he’s perfect for Steve Kerr’s system.
<h3>1. Gary Trent Jr.</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

</div>
The Toronto Raptors are reportedly considering blowing their roster up, and Gary Trent Jr. figures to draw plenty of interest in the trade market, which should come as no surprise at this point.
Trent Jr. is one of the most efficient three-point shooters in the league, not to mention a stout backcourt defender. He’s got the 3-and-D skills the Dubs have craved all season long, and he could be a major catalyst for them, just like Gary Payton II.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-Warriors-are-ready-to-make-a-big-trade-20221216-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> built an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-News-Stephen-A.-Smith-has-terrible-news-about-Stephen-Curry-and-the-Warriors-20221215-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA championship</a> contender while also taking care of the future. However, as solid as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-News-Bob-Myers-reveals-the-most-important-move-in-Warriors-dynasty-history-20221207-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Myers’</a> project looked, maybe it was a little too ambitious to think they could do both at the same time.
The Dubs have gathered a plethora of promising players, but it’s evident that some of them are still kind of raw and may need more playing time before being steady contributors to a championship team.
So, if they want to make the most of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-Steph-Currys-insane-workout-routine-made-an-NBA-player-throw-up-after-5-minutes-20221202-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry’s prime,</a> they might have to part ways with some of their youngsters to get some win-now players. With that in mind, Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes proposed a trade in which they’d get Bojan Bogdanovic for Mose Moody and James Wiseman.
<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Trade James Wiseman And Moses Moody To Get Bojan Bogdanovic</h2>
(via Bleacher Report)
“It may be that finally scrapping the two-timeline plan is the cost of doing business. Combining James Wiseman and Moses Moody’s salaries gets the Warriors to within $2.7 million of what it would take to get a deal done for Bogdanović and his 43.2 percent hit rate from deep. The Pistons, perhaps posturing, have eschewed other offers in search of a premium draft asset. Wiseman and Moody aren’t technically high-value picks, but Detroit could do much worse than a pair of former lottery selections who haven’t gotten chances to prove their worth on a title-chasing team.
It’d be dispiriting for the Warriors to finally punt on some of their youth, but Wiseman has been such a disappointment so far that a 33-year-old role player may be the best return possible.”

The Dubs seem ready to give up on Wiseman, so it wouldn’t be crazy to think they could move him. As for Moody, he’s shown glimpses of great play when given enough minutes, so that would definitely be a big blow.
However, Bojan Bogdanovic is tailor-made for Steve Kerr’s motion-offense. He’s a solid passer, an efficient shooter, and a smart player with a high basketball IQ. So, as painful as this move may seem, it might as well be just what they need to go back-to-back this season.

So, here, we’ll let you know about 3 snipers that might be on the trade block.
<h2>NBA News: 3 Veteran Shooters Who Could Be Traded Soon</h2>
<h3>3. Gary Trent Jr.</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221218_BUS_209116_gary_trent_jr.jpg_22993414_5cbbe116.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Gary Trent Jr. – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
The Toronto Raptors have been disappointing this season, and Masai Ujiri needs to weigh in on the future of multiple players, Gary Trent Jr. included. He can opt-out of his contract at the end of the season, and it seems like his trending in that direction.
The Raptors might look to blow it up and build around reigning Rookie of the Year, Scottie Barnes. Trent Jr. is one of the best shooters in the league, not to mention a peskyand willing defender. And he’s only 24 years old, so he’ll fetch some nice value in return.
<h3>2. Bojan Bogdanovic</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221218_BUS_209116_bojan_bogdanovic_x1x.jpg_22993414_a09409cc.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Bojan Bogdanovic – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
While not the youngest player in the league, Bojan Bogdanovic might as well be the most reliable. He’s become a vocal leader for the young Detroit Pistons, and they sure appreciate that veteran mentorship.
Nonetheless, Bogdanovic doesn’t fit their timeline by any means, and they could give any draft pick a better use. The former Utah Jazz combo forward can shoot lights out, handle the ball, create for others, and even plays some defense.
<h3>1. Kyle Kuzma</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221218_BUS_209116_kyle_kuzma_x4x.jpg_22993414_42cf6d55.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Kyle Kuzma – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Kyle Kuzma has blossomed into a serviceable player for the Washington Wizards. Clearly, playing side by side with Anthony Davis and LeBron James prevented him from reaching his true potential.
But now that he’s showcased his skills and proven that he can be a 3-and-D stretch four, there will be no shortage of teams interested in trading for Kuzma. The Wizards might look to move him and/or Kristaps Porzingis if they don’t improve soon.
