Ahead of the trade deadline, the Lakers have ‘checked in’ on their veteran sharp shooting wing.

It’s officially NBA Trade Deadline Week, Laker fans. The Los Angeles Lakers are still in the thick of things, with only a few days remaining.

It is speculated that the Lakers will make multiple trades, which may be essential given how mediocre this club is currently. Nonetheless, a trade appears to be on the horizon, and the Lakers are keeping an eye on several players who they believe would be a good match, including experienced share shooter and current Detroit Piston Danilo Gallinari.

Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype said that the Lakers have ‘checked in’ on Gallinarias as the deadline approaches.

Gallinari, a former lottery pick, is 35 years old. This season, he averages 7.5 points per game on 44.7% shooting, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.

Those numbers don’t jump off the page, but he is a little older and plays for the league’s poorest team. Gallinari may benefit from a change of scenery, and the Laker could be a good fit.

The Lakers need to shoot, and Gallinari can still do so, shooting 35.6% from three. Aside from that, he is a liability everywhere. He isn’t a solid defender, which the Lakers may require now that Jarred Vanderbilt’s availability is uncertain, and he’s growing older. Aside from LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers are very youthful.

He still has the ability to shoot the ball, and acquiring him at a modest cost would not be a bad addition for Los Angeles.
