Lakers Have Told Teams They Have No Untouchable Players On Roster

The Los Angeles Lakers have informed rival teams no player on their roster is untouchable in trade scenarios.

The Lakers would prefer to keep their young core in place, particularly Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart.

The Lakers have worked to position themselves for the 2018 and 2019 free agent classes ever since Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka were hired to run their front office.

Some around the league believe the Lakers would be Kawhi Leonard's preferred destination should he be traded by the Spurs this offseason.
