The Los Angeles Lakers have made significant moves in the trade window, including sending D'Angelo Russell to Brooklyn and acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith. Despite these changes, the team remains dissatisfied with their roster and is currently hovering slightly above the play-in spots in the Western Conference. Reports suggest that they might target Bruce Brown from the Raptors, who are eager to offload his contract. Although Brown’s stats suggest he could enhance the Lakers' depth, his limited playing time this season due to injury raises questions about his fit.
Brown is a respectable player, averaging 7.2 points and 3.4 rebounds and would give L.A. some added depth and options at the wing.
The Lakers are currently just above the play-in spot in the Western Conference standings. That's far from what's perceived to be title contention.
The Raptors are very motivated to move Brown and his $23 million salary, sources said, in hopes of growing the return from trading Pascal Siakam to Indiana.
With the Raptors reportedly motivated to move him, perhaps the Lakers can finally land Brown.
