NBA Trade Rumors: 3 Players that could join the Los Angeles Lakers next week

#1 Trevor Ariza

Ariza joined the Phoenix Suns last summer

The Lakers need to add both shooters and defensive versatility before the trade deadline, and Ariza could cover both of these areas. The veteran forward is among the best two-way players in the league, and he is well known for both his shot contending skills and his accuracy from behind the arc.

Both Trevor Ariza and the Los Angeles Lakers are believed to be eager for a trade to work out, although it has been reported that the Phoenix Suns owner wants the 33-year-old to join any team except the Lakers.

Up until this point, the Lakers have been willing to trade Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the Suns in order to get a deal done. However, the Suns reportedly want a player such as Lonzo Ball.

Despite this, the teams are likely to meet in the middle over the coming days, and there is a good chance that Ariza will be a Laker within the next week.
