The Los Angeles Lakers are exploring the trade market. According to one report, they have one specific wing at the top of their wishlist.

According to a new batch of rumors from HoopsHype 's Michael Scotto, the Jazz have rejected a "hefty" trade package from the Lakers in the past before Los Angeles offered a similar deal to the Charlotte Hornets for Mark Williams during last season's deadline that would ultimately never go through.

The Los Angeles Lakers figure to be a very interesting team at this year's NBA trade deadline. Los Angeles has an impressive core trio in Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves, which means a couple of things.

Perimeter defense was a major concern for the Lakers in their playoff loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves last year, with James and Rui Hachimura finding themselves unable to pick up the predictable slack left by Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic on that end of the floor.

A new mock trade outlines the package the Lakers would likely need to send to New Orleans in order to land Herb Jones.

The Los Angeles Lakers could go all-in with this proposed blockbuster trade. The Los Angeles Lakers improved their record to 18-7 following a nail-biting win over the Phoenix Suns.

The Lakers have gotten off to a solid start to the season at 18-7. Currently, that’s good enough for the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference standings. By most accounts, the West, and the NBA in general, is a one-horse race with the Oklahoma City Thunder seemingly in a class of their own.

Austin Reaves was named as a surprising trade asset as the Lakers continue to explore roster upgrades ahead of the deadline.
