The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considering a trade for Isaac Okoro, a former All-Rookie forward with the Cleveland Cavaliers, now with the Chicago Bulls. Joe Cowley from the Chicago Sun Times speculates that the Lakers could send future draft assets to acquire Okoro, who has struggled with offensive consistency since moving to Chicago. During his last season with the Cavaliers, Okoro averaged 6.1 points, and in 62 games this season with the Bulls, he managed 9.3 points. The Lakers have a history of surprising trades, which could make this rumored deal a possibility this offseason.
