Los Angeles Lakers Trade Rumours: 3 Players who could still join the Lakers ahead of the trade deadline

#2 Trevor Ariza

Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards

While the majority of Lakers news over the past few days has revolved around Anthony Davis, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne has provided an update on the team's interest in their former player, Trevor Ariza:

In non-Anthony Davis news, Lakers continue to have a fondness for Trevor Ariza, should the Wizards make him available at the deadline.

Just last week, The Athletic's Bill Oram revealed that the Lakers were once again targeting a deal for Ariza, having first pursued a deal for the player towards the end of 2018. The Lakers missed out on Ariza back in December after Magic Johnson was unwilling to offer Josh Hart as a part of the deal, and the 33-year-old eventually headed to Washington instead.

In his brief time with the Wizards, Ariza has averaged 15.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and the veteran is set to become a free agent in the summer.
