Lakers Trade Rumours: 3 players that could leave the Lakers before the trade deadline

In the midst of a number of the Lakers' most prominent names being linked with a trade, the team's third choice center is reportedly attracting interest. Ivica Zubac has played just 31 games this season, although the LA Times is reporting that NBA scouts believe that Zubac could move on before the deadline:

The 7 foot 1-inch Zubac has intrigued scouts with his soft hands and effectiveness in the pick-and-roll offense...He’s precisely the kind of player a team could ask for late in trade talks, good enough and inexpensive enough for a team to acquire, yet not meaningful enough for the Lakers to kill a major trade.

Zubac was selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 2016 draft, and this season he is averaging 8.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

Nevertheless, the Lakers are known to be targeting a center such as Anthony Davis, and therefore, the Croat's future lies away from Los Angeles.
