Let's take a look at five potential trade candidates ahead of Thursday's deadline:

Rob Pelinka and the front office of the Los Angeles Lakers are on the clock because LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and even Lakers fans want a major move to happen before the February 6th trade deadline.

NBA trade deadline is eight days away. Rumors are picking up steam ahead of Feb. 6, with eyes on Jimmy Butler, De'Aaron Fox and more. Here's the latest trade buzz from Wednesday. De'Aaron Fox reportedly wants to be traded.

The Los Angeles Lakers are fifth in the Western Conference, but if they go after a reported trade target, they could have more than enough size to tackle the Denver Nuggets.

While Jimmy Butler continues to flood headlines and stories as the top NBA trade target of the season, there are still plenty of other players across the league

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to make a move before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline, although one reported possibility is not a likely option.

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball could be on the Los Angeles Lakers’ radar as the Feb. 6 trade deadline nears, per The Athletic’s Jovan Buha, who spoke with Jason Timpf of Hoops

“Zach Collins also brings versatility to the Lakers' frontcourt. His ability to protect the rim at 6’11” makes him an ideal backup or even a potential frontcourt partner for Davis. With Collins, the Lakers gain a two-way presence they’ve been missing, especially after losing Jarred Vanderbilt for most of the season.”

But the team has been "fun-bad," thanks to solid play from two-time All-Star small forward/shooting guard LaVine, two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, and guards Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Giddey. In the mediocre East, the Bulls are good enough to have at least a shot at the postseason.

It was reported earlier this week that the Los Angeles Lakers are not the destination of choice for De'Aaron Fox. And according to Jake Fischer of the Stein Line, the reason is about as obvious as fans expected.

In the latest round of the neverending Zach LaVine trade rumors, the two-time All-Star reportedly wants to stay with the Chicago Bulls for the remainder
