The Lakers are reportedly looking to trade for top talented stars to boost their roster. Some potential targets include *Lauri Markkanen* and *Walker Kessler* from the Utah Jazz, with the Lakers possibly offering D’Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura in exchange ¹. Markkanen averaged 23.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game last season, while Kessler is a young shot blocker with immense potential.
Other potential trade targets for the Lakers are *Brook Lopez* from the Milwaukee Bucks and *Brandon Ingram* from the New Orleans Pelicans ¹. Lopez would bring defensive expertise and scoring ability, while Ingram would provide scoring and defensive skills.
The Lakers are looking to strengthen their roster after a somewhat quiet start to their summer, having drafted Dalton Knecht and Bronny James but missing out on top free agents ¹. With LeBron James entering the final years of his NBA career, the Lakers are keen to win a championship and are exploring various trade options to achieve this goal.
