The Los Angeles Lakers stood pat at the 2019-20 NBA trade deadline despite having interest in several players.
The Lakers were tied to players such as Marcus Morris, Derrick Rose, and Andre Iguodala but ultimately made no moves due to high asking prices and a difficulty to match salaries. In addition, it was reported that a number of teams had interest in Alex Caruso.
The Lakers have since recovered well, signing Markieff Morris and Dion Waiters while waiving DeMarcus Cousins and Troy Daniels. The team’s post-deadline moves showed they had no need to make a hasty decision at the trade deadline.
