But then, there are still question marks over whether they can hang with the truly elite teams.<\/p>\n<p>Their only notable win has come against the\u00a0Phoenix Suns, who then got the better of the Lakers just days later. The\u00a0Cleveland Cavaliers\u00a0did not have much trouble brushing them aside.<\/p>\n<p>If the Lakers are aiming for a Championship, they might still need to add another high-profile scorer to their roster.<\/p>\n<p>Zach LaVine of the\u00a0Chicago Bulls\u00a0has been linked with the Lakers for a while. Many teams must be regretting not bringing him in over the summer when his trade value was at its lowest.<\/p>\n<p>LaVine has been fantastic to start off the 2024-25 season. Over the first six games, he has averaged 22.7 points per game and is making 45.8% of his threes.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-46f4f1cc530c43308dd4a0746c45e202\" data-google-query-id=\"CLe8qbrhwYkDFZKI6QUd7eImbg\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/bulls-news_6__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/bulls-news_6\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/bulls-news_6\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"7\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>That is the type of dynamic scorer that many teams in the\u00a0NBA\u00a0could do with right now, including the Lakers.<\/p>\n<p>If the Lakers did come calling for LaVine at some point, one would think that Austin Reaves&#8217; name would come up in any potential trade talks.<\/p>\n<p>Would the Lakers be open to parting ways with Reaves though?

This Lakers front-office group found him on the undrafted scrap heap in 2021, then saw him turn into one of their favorite in-house success stories. First-year coach JJ Redick is also known to be a huge fan of Reaves. Add that he\u2019s on a very team-friendly deal, and it\u2019s not hard to understand why there\u2019s a strong reluctance to make him available.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-24199a45130b4df6a8777ab10b44b986\" data-google-query-id=\"CLm8qbrhwYkDFZKI6QUd7eImbg\" data-ad-size=\"720x90\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/bulls-news_8__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/bulls-news_8\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/bulls-news_8\" width=\"720\" height=\"90\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"9\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;But there\u2019s a difference between greatly valuing a player like Reaves and deeming him virtually untouchable, as league sources say the Lakers have in the past.
