NBA Rumors: Lakers Have Stepped Up Efforts To Acquire Kings’ Buddy Hield By Adding No. 22 Pick To Offer

As the NBA Draft quickly approaches on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers may be on the verge of making a trade to upgrade their roster.

It’s no secret the Lakers can use some shooting, and they’ve been linked to Sacramento Kings sharpshooter Buddy Hield all offseason.

Hield has been publically unhappy with his role in Sacramento for a while now, as has Kyle Kuzma in L.A., making a swap of the two something that could make sense for both sides.

The Lakers would also have to add someone like Montrezl Harrell to the offer in order to match salaries, although it still remains to be seen if he will be picking up his player option for the 2021-22 season.
