While the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets continue to slowly negotiate a potential Kyrie Irving trade that might necessitate a third team taking on the contract of Russell Westbrook, other deals have been explored.

The Lakers have discussed a Buddy Hield trade with the Indiana Pacers, as well as an Eric Gordon trade with the Houston Rockets. The Lakers were close to trading for Hield at last year's draft before they pivoted to the Westbrook trade. 

"They've looked at other deals," said Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN. "They've continued to, I know, check on Eric Gordon in Houston. That's certainly a player that interests them. Buddy Hield in Indiana. Different kinds of guards. Shooting guards, certainly, both of those players former Rob Pelinka clients."

Woj, enough with the Lakers rumors. Just chill out, dude. You’re becoming annoying.

Yes yes we know the Lakers, just like every team, are interested in every available good player as long as the price is right. Cool story bruh.

If you have LeBron and Anthony Davis you automatically have one of the best rosters in the league. How many teams have two players of that caliber? That’s almost like having two Gianni. Their supporting cast isn’t award winning but they don’t have to be. The Lakers won with a weak supporting cast in 2020 - a cast that every Lakers fan complained about until they won.
