LeBron James will reportedly consider joining the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency. Here are three reasons why the Lakers should sign James.
The Los Angeles Lakers are prepping for the 2017 NBA Draft. They are holding a number of workouts to see which prospects they want to target. The NBA Draft is the first chance for the Lakers to improve their roster this offseason. If recent rumors prove true, the Lakers could really upgrade their roster during free agency.
Earlier in the week, a rumor popped up that LeBron James could once again leave the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason. The Cavaliers are currently down 3-0 to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, and James could look for a change of scenery. The reports are saying that James could have his eye on Los Angeles.
There are bound to be plenty of rumors revolving around James and the Cavaliers, especially if they are swept by the Warriors. The Warriors look like an unstoppable machine right now, and if James wants to have another chance at knocking them off he could look for a new organization to be a part of.
The Lakers have had their eye on the future. Magic Johnson has discussed how the team wants to retain as much cap space going forward, so they were expected to be quiet in free agency. But, if James does truly want to entertain the idea of going to Los Angeles, the Lakers should immediately change their plans.
The chance to sign James is worth overhauling an offseason plan for. Here are three reasons why the Lakers should sign James even if it means changing their immediate offseason plans.
