The Los Angeles Lakers will explore the trade market, but the type of player they’re looking for is more important than anything else. As the Lakers have found out the hard way, trading for fit is more important than landing a star. According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, this isn’t about a star chase and more so about roster fit.

Agent Rich Paul made it clear this week that there is no path toward a potential trade of his client, LeBron James, from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Golden State Warriors.
