Multiple high-profile names have appeared in rumors as potential Lakers targets, and now a couple more are reportedly being suggested.
According to Hardwood Paroxysm, the Klutch Sports agency, which also represents LeBron James, is reportedly pushing the Lakers to trade for De’Andre Hunter or Miles Bridges.
“I never know what to make of it when I hear that a Klutch guy wants out because they always seem to want out… until Klutch no longer represents them. But league sources have said the super agency has expressed interest in a Klutch-for-Klutch swap of De’Andre Hunter for Rui Hachimura and Gabe Vincent to the Lakers or to Charlotte for Miles Bridges,” Matt Moore reports on the Hardwood Paroxysm Substack.
Both players appear to be intriguing options for the Lakers, who are looking for another reliable weapon on both ends of the court alongside their star trio of LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves.
This season, Miles Bridges is averaging 19.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists for the Charlotte Hornets.
Meanwhile, De’Andre Hunter is putting up 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
