Los Angeles Lakers rumors: Ranking the rumored targets by likelihood
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly going to be active in the offseason, especially with there being reports that the front office now worried that the title window with LeBron James and Anthony Davis is shorter than they initially thought.
It is not a crazy thing to say that the title window in LA may not be that large. Title windows are typically reserved for 3-4 seasons anyway and we are entering year three of that window. With LeBron James turning 37 in December there definitely is cause for concern.
That could lead the team to be aggressive this offseason, making riskier moves than the team may otherwise be willing to do. While we have perused a lot of different scenarios here at Lake Show Life, there are rumored targets connected to the Lakers that seem more likely than others.
Those rumored targets are Buddy Hield, Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry. It is possible for the Lakers to acquire each of the four players but it does vary by likelihood.
Which player in the Los Angeles Lakers rumors mill is the most likely to wear the purple and gold next season?
There is definitely a hierarchy when it comes to these four players. If this was a stock market some players would have much higher stocks than others, simply by the nature of the deal that it would take to acquire them as well as the surrounding factors.
From least likely to most likely, let’s get into it.
