Former Celtics center is potential trade target for Lakers (report)

Los Angeles looking to make a move before the trade deadline

Lakers reportedly interested in Tristan Thompson

Tristan Thompson, who spent last season with the Boston Celtics, is reportedly a potential trade target for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are looking to make a move before the Feb. 10 trade deadline, and Thompson is a player who could help them. He is a veteran big man who can provide rebounding and defense. Thompson averaged 7.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game last season with the Celtics. He also shot 51.8% from the field. The Lakers have been linked to several other players in trade rumors, including DeMar DeRozan, Bradley Beal, and Buddy Hield. However, Thompson is a more realistic target for the Lakers, who are limited in what they can offer in a trade. If the Lakers can acquire Thompson, it would give them a much-needed upgrade in the frontcourt. Thompson is a proven rebounder and defender, and he can also score the ball. He would be a good fit alongside Anthony Davis and LeBron James. The Lakers are currently 22-23 this season and are in sixth place in the Western Conference. They are looking to make a move to improve their chances of winning a championship this season. Acquiring Thompson would be a good step in that direction.
