Lakers Off-Season Plans 2024 | Lakers Coaching Search |Lakers Trade Targets | NBA Free Agency Needs

With the Lakers out of the playoffs after being eliminated by the Nuggets on Monday, the focus quickly turns to improving this team in the offseason.

When the Lakers didn't make a move during the NBA trade deadline this season, vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka mentioned "making a much bigger and impactful movement potentially in June and July."

Well, it's still a month before we reach the summer, but it seems Pelinka and the Lakers still share the sentiment that they will push to get better this offseason. Shams Charania, Jovan Buha and Sam Amick of The Athletic reported on the current approach the Lakers will be taking heading into the summer.

The Lakers have three first-round picks (and five second-rounders) to trade on draft night, including no. 17 overall in 2024.

The Lakers have long been linked to Kyrie Irving and Atlanta Hawks guards/Klutch clients Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Mikal Bridges are names to watch, too.
