Do the Lakers have a trade after trading for Doncic? Reinforcements target the three major centers and have inquired about 76ers' high-quality 3D

On February 3, Beijing time, the Lakers officially announced a three-way deal, Doncic officially joined the Lakers, and thick eyebrows went to the Mavericks. There are only 4 days left until the trading deadline. The Lakers may have a follow-up trade.

According to Sidery, the Lakers are actively seeking a center with athleticism and basket protection in the trade market. Claxton and Robert Williams are two players to keep an eye on in the coming days. In addition, Sharpe is also an interior player who has been closely linked with the Lakers recently.

Considering the needs of the existing roster, the Lakers have set their sights on these defensive No. 5 positions. It also means the Lakers are no longer pursuing Vucevich, making the Warriors the only team known to be pursuing Vucevic before the deadline, Sidery said.

In addition to the interior, the Lakers are also considering strengthening the wings. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Lakers, Kings and Heat are all interested in bringing in 76ers small forward Caleb Martin. This is a quality 3D player.

The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote: "Sources have revealed that the Lakers and Kings have both had inquiries about Caleb Martin, and the Heat are considering regaining the veteran. Martin, whose salary is $8.5 million this season, signed a four-year, $35 million contract with the 76ers on July 6 after playing three seasons with the Heat. โ€

Caleb Martin has played in 31 games so far this season, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 43.5% from the field and 37.9% from three-point range. He has excelled in the playoffs over the past two seasons with the Heat, averaging 12.7 points and 5.4 rebounds and 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 42.3% and 44% from three-point range, respectively.

The Lakers are expected to make more changes to the roster after bringing in Doncic, and Caleb Martin is expected to be one of their targets. However, considering the departure of thick eyebrows, the Lakers' preferred reinforcement position should still be the No. 5 position. As for the Kings and the Heat, they are also interested in Martin, the Kings are expected to trade Fox, and there should be a lot of changes to the lineup, and the Heat know how good Martin is and want to work with the veteran again.

Which interior player will the Lakers bring in? Is there a chance that Martin will join forces with James and Doncic? Let's wait and see.
