The Los Angeles Lakers have been tied with half a dozen of names already, and the NBAās free agency period hasnāt even started officially. Thatās great news for LeBron James and company.
The Lakers donāt have that many glaring holes and need in their current roster, and they donāt have that much cap space either, so they have to choose their targets wisely.
With that in mind, Dave McMenamin of ESPN broke the news that they could be looking to make a run at veteran sharpshooter Eric Gordon, who was recently waived by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Lakers Want Eric Gordon
āShooting guard Eric Gordon, who was waived by the Clippers on Wednesday, are names the Lakers could target in that scenario, sources told ESPN,ā reported McMenamin.
Even so, that doesnāt mean theyāll be alone in their pursuit of the veteran sharpshooter. According to The Athleticās Kelly Iko, heās expected to have several suitors:
āLakers, Grizzlies, Wolves, Suns, Bucks, Blazers and others ā league sources say. Gordon, 34, who was recently waived by the Los Angeles Clippers, is said to be prioritizing an outlined role with a contender,ā Iko wrote.
