The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to have a relatively quiet NBA trade deadline, but this mock trade could bolster their title hopes.

It was another poor, defenseless effort in their first visit to the Intuit Dome, as the Lakers fell 116-102. They were outplayed on the defensive end, and it didn’t help that Ivica Zubac cleaned the rim to the tune of 19 rebounds in total.

Even though the Lakers took a flyer on undrafted center Trey Jemison III, they aren't settling when it comes to finding a viable backup center.
