The Los Angeles Lakers are "open" to using their tradable first-round picks in a potential deal this winter, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Lakers are looking for a player that can slot in alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis now before staying with the franchise for "three, four or five more years," Charania said Thursday on ESPN's First Take (h/t ClutchPoints.)

General manager Rob Pelinka and the Lakers can trade their first-round picks in 2029 and 2031, per ESPN's Bobby Marks. The team can also send out its 2030 first-rounder in a separate deal, per Marks.

The Lakers head into Thursday ranked sixth in the West after winning four of their last five games.
