The Los Angeles Lakers have contacted the Oklahoma City Thunder regarding Luguentz Dort's availability. As the Lakers look to strengthen their roster, they appear focused on acquiring an athletic two-way wing. With the Thunder's roster situation necessitating potential trades due to salary cap considerations, Dort, who has a team option for $17.2 million, could be a viable target. His defensive skills and experience as a scorer might address the Lakers' need for additional shooting options, though his recent 3-point shooting percentage raises questions. No deal has yet been finalized.
