Should the Lakers make a deal for trade target Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Hawks at 2025 the NBA trade deadline?

A new NBA trade rumor may open the door to the Los Angeles Lakers acquiring an underrated scoring guard before the trade deadline.

The reserves for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game were announced Thursday and sparked social media posts about who was snubbed.

Darius Garland celebrated his call-up to the NBA All-Star game with a 26-point display as the Cleveland Cavaliers buried the Atlanta Hawks 137-115 to extend their lead at the top of the Eastern Conference on Thursday.

Atlanta forward Jalen Johnson plans to have shoulder surgery and miss the remainder of the season, a major blow to the struggling Hawks’ efforts to remain in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

The Lakers still have LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the charge, making them a threat in the Western Conference. However, it seems that the team will need to add more firepower if they want to seriously be considered as a title threat.

The Lakers could acquire a game-changing superstar in a groundbreaking deal with the Atlanta Hawks. “The Lakers acquiring Trae Young would be a blockbuster move that shakes up the Western Conference,” Fadeaway World’s Eddie Bitar wrote Friday.

The Hawks have a protected first-round pick from the Sacramento Kings, an unprotected pick from the Los Angeles Lakers and a $23.5 million trade exception from Murray’s subsequent trade to the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the Hawks are also just $1.3 million from the luxury tax line and historically haven’t been willing to go over.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, has appeared in nine NBA games throughout the 2024-25 season. However, he hasn't been able to be much of a factor, tallying just four points and three assists in nearly 22 minutes of action.

Anthony Davis had to leave the Lakers game with an abdominal muscle strain, and LeBron James shared his level of concern.

Do the Lakers and Warriors owe it to LeBron James and Stephen Curry to trade away a distant first-round pick to give them a better shot at winning a fifth championship?

Tyrese Maxey on Tuesday scored 43 points to lead the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers to a 118-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, as the surging Houston Rockets pulled off a tense 100-96 win over Atlanta.
