A few more weeks before the trade deadline. It seems like the Lakers know their chances against the top teams as they are pursuing trades aggressively. So according to the odds, the Lakers are likely to acquire Dejounte Murray from Atlanta. I don't know what assets the Lakers can offer but the team has a decent roster except that they lost their future first draft picks already in the previous trades.
Some people on social media are saying Lebron should be part of the trade which is impossible. It's not even a surprise if it's Lebron pressuring the management to acquire other stars or better talents while he is still playing at a high level.
Why the Lakers are always in the conversation about whether there's a potential all-star player in the trading block?Some people on social media are saying Lebron should be part of the trade which is impossible.

I mean I can't even think of a reason. Maybe they're popular?
What I can't even think of is the fact that even though some aren't even fit for the system of the team, or they aren't interested in that player at all, the Lakers are always involved whenever there's a huge player who wants to get traded. When news about LaVine getting traded became the talk of the internet, the Lakers were the top to get them. Now that the Hawks want to trade Murray, the Lakers are now among the teams that people want to get him again.
Lebron being part of the trade is just ridiculous, and as for the Lakers getting him, he's a liability when it comes to defense this season for the Hawks so if this trade will push through, I don't know which players the Lakers will give to the Hawks. Reaves maybe? Some benches and draft picks? Nevertheless, I don't see this pushing through just because the Lakers have no assets to trade to the Hawks. My 2 cents only though.
