The shopping season is here!For contending NBA teams, now is the time to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get the pieces that will help the team compete for a title.
This is especially important for teams that may struggle with space issues. As for the Los Angeles Lakers, a former star could soon be in their sights, according to a report.The Lakers could be ready to bring in incumbent Kyle Lowry, according to The Athletic’s Jovan Buha.
Here’s what Bukha had to say about the All-Star quarterback:”Kyle Lowry, a name the Lakers have been waiting for, could become available if Charlotte trades him from Miami this week, according to team and league sources.”According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic:Lowry was recently traded to the Charlotte Hornets in the first round for Terry Rozier. Lowry’s play was denied.
The nearly 38-year-old is averaging 8.2 points and 4.0 assists while shooting .426% from the field and .385% from 3-point range. Conventional wisdom says the Hornets will release Lowry. He could be part of the Lakers’ plans to rebuild their backcourt, especially at the guard position.Mayor D’Angelo Russell has long been involved in trade talks with guard Dejounte Murray.
First-round pick Jalen Hood-Schifino hasn’t shown enough to prove he can be a reliable player in a playoff run.Lowry, on the other hand, would make an excellent backup quarterback. A natural leader, Lowry is proven, experienced and highly respected. Instead of starting time, here’s a look at playing time from an energized Lowry.
