Report: Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets interested in signing Toronto Raptors star Gary Trent Jr

Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are reportedly keen about signing Toronto Raptors star Gary Trent Jr.

The ongoing transfer window of the NBA is set to conclude on February and therefore, teams are now finalising their plans for one last push before the window closes down.

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.”

Trent Jr. is having a decent time on the court for the Raptors where he is averaging 11.7 points per game to go with 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game as well.

In the Raptors’ previous game against New York Knicks, the 25-year-old registered 16 points for the team. His best outing this season came in the match against the Miami Heat where he registered 28 points including two rebounds as well.
