In the lead-up to the February 8 trade deadline, the Los Angeles Lakers are actively seeking to bolster their backcourt, with the Atlanta Hawks’ Dejounte Murray emerging as their primary target.
While the Lakers are reportedly willing to part ways with D’Angelo Russell to acquire Murray, the Hawks have shown little interest in the 27-year-old point guard.
According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Lakers’ stance is clear in trade discussions—third-year guard Austin Reaves holds higher value for them, almost deemed untradeable by the purple and gold.
