The Los Angeles Lakers kicked off NBA trade season by acquiring Rui Hachimura from the Washington Wizards for Kendrick Nunn and three second-round picks.

This can't be—or, at the very least, shouldn't be—the lone move the Lakers make.

With Anthony Davis on the mend and LeBron James threatening to snap Father Time's undefeated streak, L.A. has one of basketball's best duos. That's a potentially powerful force come playoff time, provided it's surrounded with sufficient support.

Adding Hachimura was a step in that direction. Pursuing the following three players would be another.

Bojan Bogdanović, Detroit Pistons

Despite adding Hachimura, the Lakers could swing another deal to beef up their forward collection.

Bojan Bogdanović is "the name most often tied to the Lakers in league circles," per The Athletic's Jovan Buha. The Detroit Pistons hope to nab "an unprotected first-round pick, at a minimum," per Buha, who added the Lakers want to broker for "a lottery-protected first."

Once the deadline starts winding down, though, one side could blink or both might find a middle ground that works.

Bogdanović, 33, is a skilled scorer, a dead-eye shooter and a willing passer. All three elements could help elevate a Lakers attack that enters Wednesday ranked just 15th in offensive efficiency, per NBA.com.

Alec Burks, Detroit Pistons

The Lakers could get a ton of mileage out of a trip to the Motor City between now and the deadline.

Beyond Bogdanović, Alec Burks is another name to watch for the Lakers. He isn't on the same timeline as his current team, but his experience would be an asset in L.A., as it should help facilitate a smooth, in-season transition.

The 31-year-old doesn't really have a stand-out skill—though his perpetually improving three-ball keeps trending that direction—but that might help increase his impact in Hollywood. Since he'd never rank better than third on the offensive pecking order, his role might change from one night to the next. His versatility would help him meet those challenges.

Burks might function as something of a three-and-D wing if he gets to L.A., but that label sells him a little short. He has more shot-creation for himself and his teammates than that normally implies.

Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls

Look, there might be a million and one more likely scenarios for the Lakers than a megadeal for Zach LaVine, but this franchise owes it to itself—and its stars—to leave no stone unturned in its search for upgrades.

"The calculus for the Lakers is to win a championship or not," general manager Rob Pelinka told reporters. "There's no in-between or incremental growth. So as we analyze opportunities, we have to do it through that lens."

The Lakers didn't really crack into their asset collection to add Hachimura. They still have two future first-round picks at their disposal, plus sizable salaries to make the money work. If a star becomes available, they'll have a non-zero chance of winning the bidding war.

Should the Chicago Bulls decide this current core isn't cutting it, they might be willing to unload LaVine and the mountain of money he'll collect over at least the next three seasons (player option for 2026-27).

The 27-year-old's ability to thrive both on and off the ball could make him a snug fit with James and Davis.
