"Lakers' Quiet Trade Deadline: What's Next for the Team?"

The Los Angeles Lakers chose to stay put at the NBA trade deadline, despite fielding numerous offers and seeking ways to upgrade their roster. The team was cautious about emptying its asset cupboard and faced limited interest in their players during trade talks. Now, the Lakers plan to be aggressive in the buyout market and are eyeing Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Lowry as potential backup point guard options. Looking ahead, the Lakers aim to use their three available first-round picks this summer to pursue a star via trade, with Donovan Mitchell, Trae Young, and Kyrie Irving being potential targets.
