According to Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports, the Lakers are willing to package Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt in a potential deal for a wing.
Another possible package could include Vincent and Maxi Kleber, and while O'Connor did not mention it, Dalton Knecht could also be included in trade discussions.
One player on the Lakers' radar is Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga. Per The Athletic, the Lakers have a legitimate interest in acquiring Kuminga after he recently requested a trade.
Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka is reportedly a strong admirer of Kuminga and likes the idea of pairing him with Luka Doncic on the wing, according to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports.
"Lakers president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka is a fan of Kuminga's, sources say, and likes the idea of him as an athletic wing on a Luka Doncic-led team," Johnson wrote.
"The Warriors have been aware of the Lakers' likeness for Kuminga, though it’s unclear how likely an in-season move between the two teams is."
The Lakers currently sit at 24–14, good for fifth place in the Western Conference.
