According to Matt Moore, a reporter from The Action Network, the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in introducing Nicholas Clarkston through a trade.

Several Lakers sources mentioned the "theoretical" trading plan for Brooklyn Nets center Clarkston, which is no accident. Clarkston is an all-around player with excellent athletic ability and can partner with Luca Doncic. The Nets and the Lakers have traded several times before, and Clarkston seems ready to join a competitive team.
