Live broadcast, December 15th according to Eric Pincus, a reporter from the bleachers, the Lakers feel that they are not far away from becoming a strong team (contender).
At present, the players that the Lakers can use as trading chips include Beverly, Nunn and weishao (three defenders with expired contracts). They can choose to send Beverly and Nunn to make a smaller deal, you can also send weishao to make a big deal.
The answer depends on what each team will give the Lakers in return. If the deal makes the Lakers competitive in the playoffs, they will pay more.
