The Chicago Bulls could make sense as a trade partner for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers have started the NBA season an impressive 9-4 through 13 games, but they may still be looking to upgrade their roster before the trade deadline in February. In a recent report on The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN’s Shams Charania said Los Angeles is in the market for a big man.
“They have said this for a while, and I've reported this, they are actively looking for a big man to add to that lineup," Charania said of the Lakers. "Who could that be? But they have assets to play with, they have contracts to play with."Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale"Adding his $20 million salary to the 2025-26 balance sheet shouldn't faze the Lakers when they're not including a first-round pick," Favale wrote of Vucevic.
