The 2020 NBA Champions, Los Angeles Lakers, might be one of the best teams ever assembled in history. It’s a powerhouse filled with superstars and playoff veterans. The team managed to win the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy this year and it looks like they’re not stopping there. There are rumors recently that the Lakers led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis are looking to add another superstar to what has been a star-studded team. Could this be the key to the Lakers’ back-to-back titles?
Lakers Looking To Add DeMar DeRozan From Spurs
According to NBA insider Kevin O’Connor, The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to add another talent to its roster. He also said that the San Antonio Spurs are looking to unload LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan. However, the Lakers are more interested in obtaining DeRozan. There are reports claiming that the Lakers are trading Kyle Kuzma and Danny Green. It’s no secret that Green has been inefficient during the Lakers’ playoff run. He missed a lot of 3-point attempts including a potential game-winning shot against the Miami Heat during the NBA Finals.
Furthermore, the Spurs desperately need to rebuild after losing their superstar, Kawhi Leonard. However, there are a lot of other teams that are pursuing DeRozan as well, making it hard for the Lakers to obtain the 31-year old superstar.
Los Angeles Clippers Veteran Point Guard Not Interested In Joining LeBron And The Lakers
There are rumors circulating online suggesting that the Lakers will trade their veteran point guard, Rajon Rondo, for Chris Paul. It’s no secret that Paul and LeBron James are one of the NBA’s most notable friends. However, Paul recently confirmed that he’s not interested in joining a fully-established team like the Lakers. He also wants to win a championship by winning it as a leader and not by joining a star-studded team.
More Veteran Players Could Potentially Land On Lakers Next Season
Despite being an already championship-caliber team, the Los Angeles Lakers are still looking to add more talents. Fortunately, they’ll have a lot of choices during the free agency, which will begin on November 20. The Lakers also have a lot of trade options to play with. One of the most possible players that could land in the Lakers is Kevin Love. A former teammate of LeBron James in the Cleveland Cavaliers. The two share high chemistry with each other. Love is also the best option for the Lakers as they lack a big man who can spread the floor from hitting threes.
There are also rumors suggesting that Danny Green will be traded for the 3-point specialist, J.J. Redick. However, Redick lacks athleticism when compared to Green, who previously get a random drug test due to his surprising putback slam against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite all the trade rumors, the Lakers are still a complete team and could potentially win back-to-back titles next season.
