Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers have been waiting for their team to make a move and answer the various moves made over the past few months by their Western Conference rivals. But names have come and gone on the waiver wire over the past few weeks, with only 11 days until players can get bought out without losing playoff eligibility after March 1. Earlier on Tuesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that Reggie Jackson would join the Clippers, but the Lakers aren’t completely done when it comes to leads for their roster.
According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, appearing on The Sedano Show, the Lakers are keeping an eye on Moe Harkless, who is on the New York Knicks after being included by the Clippers in the Marcus Morris trade at the deadline.

“Moe Harkless is a name I’ve heard they’re interested in and monitoring and still have an eye on.”
Considering Harkless’ best position is at the 3-4 spot, Jared Dudley would almost certainly be the candidate most likely to get waived. However, the Lakers have to still weigh whether they want to make a move at all. Their team chemistry has been a pillar of their success all season and they may decide that it’s too delicate of a thing to mess with.
