(Can be done in January when Herb is eligible) Lakers are exploring ways to trade for Herb. As reported by Brett Siegel from Clutch Points

NBA insider Jake Fischer reports the Pels are showing willingness to listen to offers for Herb

Highsmith has also been mentioned as a cheaper wing option that the Lakers could consider per Lakers insider Anthony Irwin

Herb would be a seamless fit in the starting lineup with his stellar defence alone. He can effectively defend the hardest matchups night in night out. He is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and this is exactly what the Lakers need

Herbs shooting has taken a dip the last couple seasons, but we have seen him shoot 50/42/87 splits through 76 games in the 23-24 season. Moving into a starting role on a winning big-market team with more consistent minutes could be all he needs to get his shooting back to what we know he’s capable of

Highsmith would be a great bench piece for them. Providing 3 & D on a value contract. He has great switch-ability and has been a 38-40% 3 point shooter for the last 2 years
