The Los Angeles Lakers have recovered nicely from the start of free agency by managing to win the LeBron James Sweepstakes. Now comes the part where they put together a roster capable of competing for a championship.
There are a number of notable free agents still left on the market. However, one intriguing option that could be on the table is former Miami Heat power forward Chris Bosh, according to Sean Deveney of Sporting News:

The Lakers potentially signing Bosh is intriguing, to say the least. It would be the second time in their careers that the two linked up in free agency. Both players enjoyed plenty of success the first time around and eventually won back-to-back championships in Miami. Unfortunately, Bosh's career has been put on hold following the 2016-17 NBA season due to blood-clotting issues but not before the Heat's Big 3 had already been dismantled by the departure of James.
Although he has been unable to play, the 11-time All-Star has not ruled out a potential return. Joining James in Los Angeles certainly makes sense from a career perspective. Furthermore, Bosh has also been spotted at the team facility multiple times throughout the offseason. That said, the Lakers very well could have already gauged interest in his return to the court.
