Jonas Valanciunas of the Washington Wizards is attracting trade interest from several teams, notably the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. With the Knicks seeking a backup center due to Mitchell Robinson's injury, Valanciunas appears to be a prime target.

However, the Lakers, also in need of center depth, are expected to pursue him as well. Valanciunas has been performing exceptionally well, averaging 20.0 points and 13.0 rebounds in his last two games, making him a valuable asset for any team.
