The Lakers have glaring needs, including another big and secondary playmaker. Here's who they should go after before the Feb. 6 deadline.

A trade buzz involving the Lakers and Pacers star big man Myles Turner is growing again amid the looming NBA trade deadline.

Last year, in front of their hometown fans, the Indiana Pacers won the Skills Challenge. A trio of Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, and Myles Turner beat the first-overall picks (Paolo Banchero, VIctor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards ), and a case of young All-Stars ( Trae Young, Scottie Barnes, Tyrese Maxey).

Instead of Drummond or Bona, Sixers head coach Nick Nurse then opted to use Pete Nance at center. Nance hit a three on his first touch and the Sixers rather improbably made a 10-0 run. A Council slam trimmed the Pacers' advantage to 106-100.
