The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considering trades for two players before the start of the new season. Both outlets say the situation is part of an ongoing roster retooling effort rather than a final decision already made.
According to the reports, last month the Lakers’ entire team traveled to Slovenia for a four-day minicamp hosted by Luka Dončić. The presence of certain players at the event is being linked to trade speculation, with one name repeatedly referenced as a potential candidate: Jarred Vanderbilt.
While the outlets discuss the same general premise—trade discussions and uncertainty around the roster—details about timing, potential destinations, and whether talks have progressed to concrete offers are not specified in the provided accounts. The reports frame the minicamp and the surrounding roster activity as context for why trades are once again being discussed close to the season start.
