Virtually every Los Angeles Lakers trade target, suggestion, or rumor is focused on bolstering the team’s defense. That’s totally understandable. The Lakers should be preparing an aggressive run at Donte DiVincenzo anyway.
Writing for ClutchPoints, Kris Pursiainen reports that the Minnesota Timberwolves have held “exploratory discussions” with the New York Knicks about a deal that would land DiVincenzo back in The Big Apple. The Lakers are not name-checked as part of this rumor, but they don’t need to be. The real revelation here is that DiVincenzo is available at all.
And if that’s the case, team president Rob Pelinka should be prepared to pounce.
