The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be very active ahead of the February 6th trade deadline. With a 26-19 record and a team that has very much overachieved this season, their roster is in a prime position to be improved.

Atlanta forward Jalen Johnson plans to have shoulder surgery and miss the remainder of the season, a major blow to the struggling Hawks’ efforts to remain in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

With Anthony Davis out for the next week, that won't change the Lakers' plans as far as what they do at the trade deadline.

The Hawks have a protected first-round pick from the Sacramento Kings, an unprotected pick from the Los Angeles Lakers and a $23.5 million trade exception from Murray’s subsequent trade to the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the Hawks are also just $1.3 million from the luxury tax line and historically haven’t been willing to go over.

The Lakers still have LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the charge, making them a threat in the Western Conference. However, it seems that the team will need to add more firepower if they want to seriously be considered as a title threat.

The Lakers could acquire a game-changing superstar in a groundbreaking deal with the Atlanta Hawks. “The Lakers acquiring Trae Young would be a blockbuster move that shakes up the Western Conference,” Fadeaway World’s Eddie Bitar wrote Friday.

As the Los Angeles Lakers try to capitalize on their title window with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, adding a true point guard makes sense.

Anthony Davis had to leave the Lakers game with an abdominal muscle strain, and LeBron James shared his level of concern.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, was selected 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. Signing a four-year, $7.9 million contract with the Lakers, James secured a standard roster spot.

The Phoenix Suns have four bigs on the roster, including newly acquired 7-footer Nick Richards. Nurkic was moved to the bench earlier this month.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, has appeared in nine NBA games throughout the 2024-25 season. However, he hasn't been able to be much of a factor, tallying just four points and three assists in nearly 22 minutes of action.

Jalen Green scored 12 of his 25 points in the third quarter and the Houston Rockets avoided a late collapse to beat the Atlanta Hawks 100-96 on Tuesda
