As the NBA trade deadline nears, the Los Angeles Lakers are in search of moves to solidify their title contention status. After trading D'Angelo Russell and Maxwell Lewis for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton, their defensive performance has not shown significant improvement, currently ranking 27th in the league.

Despite the initial addition, the Lakers are not finished with their roster adjustments. Reports indicate that they are eyeing three players: Bruce Brown, Walker Kessler, and Robert Williams III. Each could potentially enhance the team's performance, with Kessler being particularly intriguing due to his shot-blocking abilities and youth, allowing for a long-term solution in the center position.
