Live Ball on July 22nd reports that the Lakers are still interested in Brogdon, and they have also shown interest in small-ball wing Peyton before acquiring Smart.
The article states: “Brogdon was a player the Lakers had expressed trade intentions for prior to the 2025 trade deadline. If the Lakers can release additional salary space through a small-ball integration trade, he will remain on their roster watch list.”
“It is worth noting that before Smart reached a buyout agreement with the Wizards, the Lakers also showed interest in small-ball swingman Peyton, known for his defensive prowess.”
