Lakers may target Trevor Ariza

Trevor Ariza is being linked with a summer move to the Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are desperate to improve their roster following another disappointing season, and Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report believes Trevor Ariza could be a target:

That's not to say that Pelinka, the Lakers' top basketball executive, won't actively recruit players. He just needs to wait until July.

Pelinka should have the advantage if the Lakers were to chase any of his ex-clients, who generally speak glowingly of their former agent, but the best of the lot this summer is probably Trevor Ariza. While he would round out the team's perimeter defense well, the Lakers need to chase higher-impact players to partner James with another star or two.

After spending the second half of the 18/19 season with the Washington Wizards, Ariza will hit free agency this summer. During his time in Washington, the 33-year old averaged 14.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
