The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for a more competitive season after an early playoff exit. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis still on the roster, the team is optimistic about their chances but recognizes the need for additional support to make a strong title run.

One player who has been frequently linked to the Lakers is Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. Although a trade involving Murray nearly happened at the trade deadline, there is speculation that discussions could resume this summer.

Following the Lakers' recent draft of guard Bronny James, Murray's social media activity has sparked interest. While his comments may simply reflect excitement for James, the timing has fueled speculation about his potential move to Los Angeles.

Acquiring Murray would be a significant boost for the Lakers, providing them with a third star and a solid foundation for the future alongside Davis. However, the challenge lies in meeting Atlanta's high asking price, which the Lakers have so far been unwilling to match.
