NBA trade deadline is 15 days away, so we're right in the thick of when all the rumors around the league will start to pick up. Jimmy Butler is the most talked about trade piece right now, with the Phoenix Suns being eyed as the frontrunner to land him if a trade were to transpire.

Time is starting to run out for the Lakers to make another trade this season, and LeBron James and Anthony Davis seem to be getting anxious.

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly more likely to stand pat or make a half-measure trade than going all-in at the deadline.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers appear to be looking toward the future while trying to win another championship with LeBron James and Anthony Davis,

It seems that the rumors the Los Angeles Lakers won’t make big moves before the NBA trade deadline have the team’s top stars concerned.

The Lakers approach the trade deadline cautiously, prioritizing smaller moves to address roster gaps while preserving financial and draft flexibility.
