The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly “keeping an eye” on the Chicago Bulls as a potential trade partner in the near future as the Eastern Conference team’s season continues to spiral downward.
On Thursday, the window officially opened for teams to be able to trade players they signed or re-signed in the offseason. Meaning the speculation and rumors should now really pick up as organizations inch closer to the NBA trade deadline on February 9.
One team that is expected to be active on the trade market over the next couple of months is the Los Angeles Lakers. After a horrid start to the season, new head coach Darvin Ham and his squad seem to be headed in the right direction and there is renewed hope this group could make some noise down the stretch and in the playoffs.
However, upgrades need to be made and a new report claims LA is looking at the Bulls roster as a source to poach some impact players and improve their playoff hopes this season.
