One day after signing Shawne Williams to the veteran’s minimum, the Lakers rumors continue to swirl.
Lakers have a level of interest in Xavier Henry, from what I hear.

Henry is a former 12th overall draft pick by the Grizzlies. However, Henry has never averaged more than 5.3 points a game and is a career 40.3% field goal shooter. While he has an ability to play the small forward position in which the Lakers have a hole at, it’s hard to imagine Henry seeing significant playing time.
