Will Barton is a professional basketball player who has been playing in the NBA since 2012.
He currently plays for the Denver Nuggets and is considered to be one of the best players in the league.
The LA Lakers did not acquire any players during the initial shopping spree.
Barton, formerly of the Nuggets, is a potential target for the Lakers after agreeing to a buyout with the Washington Wizards on Feb. 21.
Will Barton is now a free agent and available to any team.
He is a 3-and-D player who can provide depth, shooting and playoff experience.
The Lakers, who made several deals at the trade deadline, are hoping to make a postseason push with Barton in the lineup.
Alex Kirchenbaum agrees, noting Kristaps Porzingis and Kuzma's potential impact while they're out.
