It has been reported by Vincent Ellis of the Detroit Free Press that both the Lakers, and the Knicks have interest in Will Bynum. Here is the actual tweet:

Bynum had a decent season with the Pistons. He averaged 9.8 points, 3.6 assists, and 1.5 rebounds. He also shot 46.9 percent from the field. Bynum is only 6’0 tall, if that, but he could be the athletic, energy guy the Lakers could use off the bench; however, I’m not sure they should spend the little money they have on him. Bynum isn’t a good outside shooter (26.9 percent from three for his career), so the Lakers might be better off sticking with Steve Blake and using the money elsewhere.
What do you think Lakers Nation? Should the Lakers try and sign Will Bynum? Let me know down below!
