The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly now open to giving up their prized draft assets to improve their roster ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

The Los Angeles Lakers are attempting to make an NBA title pursuit behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Leading Los Angeles to a championship in 2020, the star duo is still playing at a high level five years later.

The Los Angeles Lakers' stars feel like they need more to compete for a championship this season. On Wednesday, ESPN's NBA insider Shams Charania reported LeBron James and Anthony Davis are worried the team has not done enough to be competitive down the stretch.

The Los Angeles Lakers' more risk-averse approach to trades right now applies in more ways than one, according to the Los Angeles Times' Dan Woike.

At 22-18, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves firmly ensconced in the middle tier of the Western Conference pack — they're currently the No. 6 seed, although that could change depending on the result of their Tuesday clash against the 6-35 Washington Wizards.

The chances of the Lakers making the type of big trade that would make them contenders or near-contenders any time soon may be slim.

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking at a familiar name ahead of the upcoming trade deadline. According to NBA insider Jovan Buha, veteran point guard Lonzo Ball is on the Lakers' radar and has emerged as an interesting potential trade target.

It seems that the rumors the Los Angeles Lakers won’t make big moves before the NBA trade deadline have the team’s top stars concerned. Unlike many other offseasons, the Lakers front office chose not to make any major roster changes in the summer and instead went with a change at the top of their coaching staff.
