The two non-transferable players for the Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have strengthened their roster this summer with significant additions: defensive specialist Marcus Smart, center Deandre Ayton to fill the void in the paint, and versatile forward Jake LaRavia. However, the big question remains whether the L.A. team will seek a bigger impact in the market.

According to Heavy.com via Sean Deveney, the franchise has received trade proposals involving Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt, which were rejected. The internal feeling is that the roster is almost set, and there will be no major moves until the season is underway. An executive from the Western Conference summarized it as: “They haven’t engaged in the trade market in any way. Most teams are in wait mode, and the Lakers are on that list. They want to give it some time before making a move.”

Two key players for the Lakers

Vincent, a role-playing guard with an expiring $11.5 million contract, averaged a modest 6.4 points per game coming off the bench last season. Vanderbilt, on the other hand, is a quality perimeter defender, but his availability has been an issue: in two and a half seasons in Los Angeles, he has played only 65 games.

For now, the Lakers seem determined to assess their new core in action before considering a significant trade.
