The Los Angeles Lakers could make some trades in the offseason.

Right now, the Los Angeles Lakers‘ main focus is the season’s resumption on July 30, which will give the team a chance to finish what they started this season and at least get the opportunity to win championship number 17.

There will be eight “seeding games” that the 22 teams invited to Disney World will play as well as an extensive training camp to get ready. The Lakers should, mostly, have their legs under them in time for the playoffs to make that final push.

Championship or not, though, the front office is undoubtedly going to make to look improvement in any way possible in the offseason. The biggest priority is locking Anthony Davis down long-term but there still is room for improvement, even if the Lakers win the NBA Championship.

If you are not getting better in some way then you are getting worse and the rest of the league is going to catch up to you.

With that in mind, we decided to start a series here at Lake Show Life where we look at one potential trade target from every single team in the NBA. Now, we are sticking to realism here, so a lot of these names are not going to be massive.

The first division that we will be looking at is the Atlantic Division, which consists of the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors.
