TRADE UPDATES: Los Angeles Lakers Confirms the Signing of Cleveland Cavaliers Key Point Guard…
The Los Angeles Lakers are aiming to add another key player before the NBA season starts in October. Their latest focus is on Darius Garland, a rising star from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who is rumored to be a potential trade target for the Lakers.
The Lakers have yet to secure a standout player this offseason. Although they promised to bring in talented NBA players to support their veterans, their only acquisitions so far have been rookies: Bronny James and Dalton Knecht.
According to NBA insider Eric Pincus from Bleacher Report, Garland might be the Lakers’ best opportunity to land a star player. Garland, who has played for the Cavaliers for five seasons and averaged 18.0 points with a 44.6% shooting rate last season, could provide a significant boost to the Lakers’ point guard position, alongside D’Angelo Russell.
Despite ongoing trade speculation, Garland, a 2022 NBA All-Star, has expressed his intention to remain with the Cavaliers and denied any desire to change teams.
