This NBA offseason has been full of rumors surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers as they have been seeking out ways to upgrade their roster. In free agency, they took a different approach this year than they did last year.

Last year, they signed older veterans to round out the roster around their star trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. It was a risk acquiring Westbrook but the roster was poorly built around those three as well. They lacked versatility and depth and a lot of the players struggled to stay healthy.

That is something they hoped to remedy this offseason. They did a total 180 when it came to roster management, signing Lonnie Walker IV, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones, Thomas Bryant and Troy Brown Jr. Toscano-Anderson is the oldest of the bunch at 29 years old as all of them also bring some two-way ability to the table.

The Lakers have also made one trade, acquiring Patrick Beverley from the Utah Jazz. Beverley was acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of the Rudy Gobert blockbuster trade, but the Jazz had little use for the veteran. So, they flipped him for more assets, acquiring Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson from Los Angeles.

Needing to make more moves to upgrade the roster, could the Jazz and Lakers come together on another trade? Los Angeles has been linked to a few of the other veterans still on Utah’s roster, one of whom is Bojan Bogdanovic. The Lakers should most definitely push for a trade that results in them acquiring him.
