As per NBA transfer insider Matt Moore, the Lakers and Nets are eager to sign Trent Jr. before the end of the transfer window.

“They’re not done,” he wrote in his recent column. “Word is that everyone who isn’t Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, or Jakob Poeltl is available. The Raptors want to reset their timeline in terms of the age of their players. Curiously, Poeltl is 28.“Gary Trent Jr. is the name most frequently discussed, with the Lakers and Nets among the teams with interest.”
