The Lakers have already conducted preliminary trade negotiations on three defenders, who can really help the Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers' reinforcement moves in the 2025 offseason are not over yet. If you want to compete for the championship in the 2025-26 season, you just rely on winning Ayton, and you will not be able to succeed. Because of Dorian Finney Smith's departure, the team's outside offense and defense were missing an important core player.
Considering that Reeves and Luka Doncic's defense are average, they also need to strengthen their back defense and three-point shooting. According to NBA insider Anthony Irving, the Los Angeles Lakers plan to inspect three people, Marcus, Dosem and Mattistipur, who may be the defenders the Lakers want to introduce, and for this purpose, they have specially posted some good trading plans for the Lakers' reference.
"There are reports that the names of Matistipur, Marcus Smart, Dosem and others, and the Lakers have had a preliminary conversation with the team about availability and price, although there is no offer yet."
Lakers get: Marcus Smart
Wizards get: Gab Vincent, MaxikleBell, 2032 second round draft pick, part of cash compensation
Smart is the 2022 defensive player of the year, averaging 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks last season. In the 2024-25 season, the 31-year-old Smart only played 34 games last season due to injury problems. Smart's offense and defense can indeed help the team a lot, and he can do dirty and tiring work.
However, the problem is that he cannot stay healthy all the time, which is an important factor that other teams don't want to win him. However, Smart's annual salary for expiration contract is as high as $21.6 million, which the Lakers cannot accept. Unless the Wizards buy out or cut off the opponent, the Lakers may try to win him.
Lakers won: Matistipur
Trail Blazers won: Gab Vincent, 2032 second round draft pick
Mattistipur played only 15 games in the Portland Trail Blazers last season due to injury, averaging 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks. In recent years, he has been one of the best defensive players in the NBA's perimeter, with a positive defensive attitude.
Lakers won: Dosem
Bulls won: Dalton Knecht, Sheck Milton
Chicago Bulls Dosem has made rapid progress in recent years, averaging 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.4 blocks in the 2024-25 season. It seems not very cost-effective to ask the Lakers to send Dalton Knecht and Sheck Milton to exchange for Dosem. After all, Dalton Knecht has a pretty good potential. As an excellent tall outside pitcher, he also has excellent independent offensive ability and breakthrough ability.
Summary: The Los Angeles Lakers need an excellent defender who can make up for the difficulties of Luka Doncic and Reeves' poor defense. However, this defensive back must be able to stay healthy and have a certain three-point shooting ability. Judging from the Lakers' needs, the three of them are actually not suitable for the current Lakers.
