NBA Trade Rumors: 3 teams that should trade for Kemba Walker this month

#1 Los Angeles Lakers

Charlotte Hornets v Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are well known to be looking for a second All-Star to pair with LeBron James, although all signs pointed to the Lakers waiting until the summer of 2019 to sign Anthony Davis. Nevertheless, since LeBron James was injured during the teams Christmas Day win over the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers have struggled, and the team has slipped out of the Western Conference playoff places.

It has become increasingly evident that the Lakers need further additions before the February trade deadline, and Kemba Walker would provide a significant upgrade over both Lonzo Ball and Rajon Rondo. The prospect of Walker and LeBron James playing alongside each other is an exciting one for Lakers fans, and thanks to Walker's expiring contract, the Lakers should be able to acquire the point guard, in return for a member of their young core.
