The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in trading for Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Lu Dort, who is set to earn $17.7 million next season. The Thunder are looking to shed salaries due to roster constraints and the need to retain key players like Isaiah Hartenstein. Despite a decline in offensive stats, Dort is recognized for his elite perimeter defense, having made the All-Defense First Team in 2024-25. Acquiring him could enhance the Lakers’ defensive depth but may come at a discounted cost due to Oklahoma City’s situation.
