The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to trade Jrue Holiday to another team after acquiring him from the Milwaukee Bucks in the Damian Lillard trade.

Holiday has a player option worth $37.4 million for the 24-25 season, which could give him some level of control over where he is traded.

Sources tell the Miami Herald that the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers are teams that appeal to Holiday. 

Holiday was traded by the New Orleans Pelicans to the Bucks during the 2020 offseason and helped the Bucks win the NBA championship that season.

The Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Milwaukee Bucks are among teams that have registered recent interest in Buddy Hield, according to Shams Charania.

"The Lakers were long rumored for Buddy Hield. You look at teams like Dallas, Philly, Milwaukee. Those are the types of teams that could definitely use a shooter like Buddy Hield, and they've had a level of interest in him over the last several months," said Charania on The Rally.

The Pacers started trade talks on Hield after the two sides failed to reach a contract extension. 

The Lakers and Pacers reportedly discussed a trade involving Hield last August.

Jarred Vanderbilt and the Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract extension. Vanderbilt's deal is fully guaranteed and includes a player option on the final season.

Vanderbilt had one season remaining on the three-year deal he signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2021 offseason. Vanderbilt is set to make $4.6 million this season for the Lakers, who acquired him ahead of the trade deadline in a three-team trade.

In 26 games (24 starts) with the Lakers, Vanderbilt averaged 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals. He also started in 13 of the 15 playoff games he played for Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Lakers signed forward Vincent Valerio-Bodon and guards Damion Baugh, Bryce Hamilton and Scotty Pippen Jr. to training camp deals.

Valerio-Bodon (6’9”, 200) most recently appeared in 30 games (all starts) for Sopron KC of the Hungarian NBIA during the 2022-23 season, averaging 8.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 25.7 minutes per game while shooting 50.3 percent from the field, 41.2 percent from 3-point range and 87.9 percent from the free-throw line. 

Baugh (6’4”, 194) begins his professional career after spending the past four seasons at TCU (2021-23) and the University of Memphis (2019-21). 

Hamilton (6’4”, 205) appeared in 29 regular season games (27 starts) as a rookie last season for the South Bay Lakers, averaging 14.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 28.2 minutes per game. 

As a rookie in 2022-23, Pippen (6’1”, 185) suited up in 19 NBA G League regular season games (four starts) for South Bay, posting averages of 21.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 27.9 minutes per game. 

The Los Angeles Lakers made it clear to Anthony Davis this offseason that they would add depth at center so he wouldn't have to the play the position with as much regularity this offseason, sources tell ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

Davis played 99 percent of his minutes at center last season.

With the Lakers adding Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood, there are more lineup possibilities to allow Davis to play power forward.

Davis signed a three-year, $186 million extension with the Lakers this offseason.

Christian Wood is expected to come off the bench next season with Rui Hachimura likely starting next to Anthony Davis and LeBron James, sources told Jovan Buha of The Athletic. 

The news coming following Wood and the Lakers agreeing to a two-year deal.

Buha adds that Wood was waiting out a potential James Harden or Damian Lillard trade to possibly find a larger role before signing with the Lakers. 

Christian Wood has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-year deal.

Wood will hold a player option in Year 2.

Wood spent last season with the Dallas Mavericks, but the team did not show interest in re-signing him. 

The Lakers also have Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Jaxson Hayes, Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura at the big positions.
