Lakers may be looking to trade Lou Williams

Los Angeles Lakers guard Lou Williams appears likely to be traded before the deadline, as the team has reportedly actively been shopping him.

What It Means:

This doesn't come as a huge surprise, as the 30-year-old Williams doesn't have a lot to offer a rebuilding team like the Lakers. Williams being dealt would open up some minutes for D'Angelo Russell.

Williams is having a strong season, averaging 18.5 points per game with a career-high .525 effective field goal percentage. His 5.0 nERD this season is the best on the Lakers and ranks 26th in the NBA.
