Lakers propose trade for Myles Turner in roster move with Bucks
Summary

The Los Angeles Lakers are targeting Myles Turner from the Milwaukee Bucks in a proposed 3-for-1 trade. The Lakers aim to strengthen their center rotation, as both Walker Kessler and Kevon Looney had limited playing time last season due to injuries. This trade would allow the Lakers to reduce their roster from 16 to 14 players, enhancing flexibility as the new season approaches. For the Bucks, moving Turner, whose contract is viewed negatively, would facilitate building around new starting center Kel’el Ware.
