Let the rumors begin! For the Los Angeles Lakers, they should be plenty active and garner a ton of interest from the high-profile names with NBA free agency right around the corner. With a star duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, who wouldn't want to team up and have a legitimate shot to walk away with an NBA title?
Well, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry both have interest in joining the Lakers, according to Broderick Turner of the LA Times.
“DeRozan, who starred at Compton High and USC, has interest in returning home to play for the Lakers, even if it is for less than the $27.7 million he earned last season in San Antonio, according to people not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.”
Adding DeRozan is a rumor that has floated around for some time and could finally be a reality. The San Antonio Spurs star played at USC and could have a shot at a title with the purple and gold.
At this past NBA trade deadline, the Lakers floated around with the idea of acquiring Lowry from the Toronto Raptors, although nothing came to fruition, and there's a chance he joins the Lakers in the summer as well.
“Though the Lakers didn’t acquire Lowry at the trade deadline, he remains interested in joining them, according to people with knowledge of his situation.”
Either way, after a first-round exit to the hands of the Phoenix Suns, expect the Lakers to be active on the market and walk away with somebody in their hopes of recapturing another NBA title.
Buckle up, this will be one wild offseason in the NBA.
