Report: Lakers Desperately Tried to Acquire Andre Iguodala Including Hail Mary Attempt
- Updated: February 6, 2020
The Los Angeles Lakers have been interested in acquiring Andre Iguodala all season long.
For that reason, it was not surprising to learn that they have been trying desperately to add the veteran prior to the NBA’s trade deadline.
Unfortunately, it appears that not even a Hail Mary attempt by the Lakers was enough to move the needle for the Iguodala’s current team, the Memphis Grizzlies.
Yahoo Sources. The Los Angeles Lakers have ventured down all avenues — including a last Hail Mary attempt — to seek a path to Andre Iguodala, but it is becoming apparent that Miami has Memphis’ attention right now.

For much of the 2019-20 season, it was assumed that Iguodala would either end up on the Lakers or Los Angeles Clippers. Instead, it now seems more likely that he will end up on the Miami Heat.
With Iguodala potentially off the board, it will be fascinating to see who the Lakers choose to target in the waning hours prior to the trade deadline.
If they can get their hands on a talented veteran, they will be in even better position to bring a title to L.A. by season’s end.
