<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>are getting back on track, winning two games in a row to <strong>get back to .500 basketball. </strong>Even so, if you’ve been following the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a></strong> long enough, you may know that .500 basketball isn’t good enough for the Lakers.</p>



<p>This team has<strong> struggled with injuries and inconsistency </strong>all season long. And the worst part is that they don’t have appealing assets to make big trades before the deadline.</p>



<p>Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean they cannot pursue a lesser and more realistic target to<strong> give<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> LeBron James</a> a helping hand</strong>. With that in mind, <strong>Dave McMenamin of ESPN </strong>reports that they’re keeping tabs on two mid-level point guards.</p>



<h2>Lakers Keeping An Eye On Tyus Jones And Collin Sexton</h2>



<p>“<strong><em>You’re looking at the Lakers surveying the market for point guard help and one g</em></strong><em><strong>uy you can look at is certainly Tyus Jones with the Washington Wizards,” </strong></em>McMenamin reported. <em>“<strong>He’s 27 years old, he’s highly efficient, fifty two percent from the field, 42 percent from three. </strong>He’s on a $14 million expiring contract, and we’ve seen the Wizards are not necessarily competitive right now with the group that they have so perhaps they would be looking for some sort of future assets if the Lakers can bring that guy in right now.”</em></p>

<p>Jones might not be a star, but<strong> he’s elite in terms of taking care of the basketball. </strong>He’s a sound playmaker who plays mistake-free hoops for the most part, and he should be easy to get on an expiring deal from a struggling team.</p>



<p>McMenamin also argues that the Lakers could make a run at fellow Klutch Sports client<strong> Collin Sexton</strong>, who’s taken his career back from the ground with the <strong>Utah Jazz:</strong></p>



<p><em><strong>“Another guy you look to is Collin Sexton,”</strong> </em>the report continued. <em>“25 year old, athletic, competitive, averages about 17 points and four assists a game. More of a combo guard but certainly someone that has ties to the Lakers in the sense that <strong>his agent Rich Paul represents LeBron James and Anthony Davis.”</strong></em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240117#BUS#98419"></div>






<p>The Lakers might not be able to make a big splash, but sometimes, all it takes is some minor tweaks to get the ship back on its course, and <strong>this could be the case for Darvin Ham’s team.</strong></p>

<p>Not so long ago, the <strong><a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-bam-adebayo-makes-a-bold-promise-for-the-2022-23-nba-season-20220724-0017.html" target="_blank">Miami Heat</a> </strong>were the biggest powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. But the<em> <strong>Big 3</strong></em><strong> days</strong> with<strong> <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-lebron-james-could-return-to-cleveland-next-season-20220729-0004.html" target="_blank">LeBron James</a>, <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/2022-nba-playoffs-jimmy-butler-moved-up-alongside-lebron-james-and-dwyane-wade-in-a-new-heat-record-20220529-0023.html" target="_blank">Dwyane Wade</a>, and Chris Bosh</strong> are long gone, meaning it's tougher to recruit stars to join them.</p> 
<p>But<strong> Pat Riley </strong>has still put together quite a competitive roster. They made the NBA Finals just a couple of seasons ago, and it seems like they're just one big name away from reaching the ultimate stage again.</p> 
<p>That's why the Heat have been actively pursuing multiple names in trades during the offseason&nbsp;and why they might be quite aggressive trying to land <strong>Collin Sexton of the <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-cavs-would-only-want-lebron-james-back-on-one-condition-20220803-0040.html" target="_blank">Cleveland Cavaliers.</a></strong></p> 
<h2>NBA Rumors: Miami Heat Could Trade For Collin Sexton</h2> 
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I had kept hearing, &lsquo;Pat Riley likes Collin Sexton. Pat Riley likes Sexton,&rsquo; from one person that I trust who knows things,&rdquo;</strong></em> NBA insider Jake Fischer said on 'The Wine &amp; Gold Talk' podcast.</p> 
<p>Sexton is eligible to sign a max contract extension, but he's coming off a major injury and the Cavs want to build around<strong> Darius Garland and Evan Mobley and seem unwilling to meet his asking price</strong>. So, a sign-and-trade could be the likeliest scenario here:</p> 
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m told that it is close to $40 million in total money,&rdquo; </strong></em>Cavs insider Chris Fedor said, per Fadeaway World<em><strong>. &ldquo;So think of like a three-year, $40 million deal. It&rsquo;s way less than what Collin initially wanted. I don&rsquo;t know that it&rsquo;s the kind of deal that Collin and his camp would be willing to take.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<h2>Heat Are Looking For Other Stars</h2> 
<p>Nonetheless, it's also worth noting that the Heat are in the mix for both<strong> Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell,</strong> so it's unlikely that they go after Sexton unless they miss the boat on both of those stars.</p> 
<p>Sexton is <strong>a former top-10 pick</strong> coming off the best season of his career. He's still young and could be a 20+ ppg scorer for years to come. But he comes with big risks due to alleged character issues, not to mention the knee injury he suffered mid-season.</p>

<p>This list is based on&nbsp;the future of player, what's his background and the possibilty to move to another NBA Franchise. Although this list doesn't include <strong>Miles Bridges</strong>, for example. This due to his obvious off-court problems, although he was a most-wanted free-agent during the last couple of weeks.</p> 
<p>Also, the list doesn't include&nbsp;<strong>Dwight Howard,</strong> <strong>Rajon Rondo </strong>and&nbsp;<strong>DeMarcus Cousin.</strong> This because it is most likely they will <strong>sign-and-trade</strong> or stay at their current franchises as there any better options available for both the player and their team on the market.</p> 
<h2>5 big names left in the NBA Free Agency</h2>

<p>The Marrieta-born player is near a closing line with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although, he isn't happy with the deal. this is the most likely move he will make on what's left of the NBA Free Agency. Sexton averaged&nbsp;16&nbsp;points, 3&nbsp;rebounds and 2&nbsp;assists in 11 games in the 2021-22 NBA Season.</p>

<p>Harrell played for the Charlotte Hornets last season. And despite he had problems with the law lately, he is already playing at the Drew League. Therefore, he might be back to talks with many NBA franchises. The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year averaged&nbsp;13&nbsp;points, 6&nbsp;rebounds and 2 assists in 71 games in the 2021-22 NBA Season.</p>

NBA News: 5 big names still available in the Free Agency

<p><a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-free-agency-2022-recap-all-deals-done-thus-far-20220701-0011.html" target="_blank"><strong>NBA's free agency</strong></a> is one of the key, <strong>most exciting moments <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-2022-23-jonathan-kuminga-and-second-year-players-ready-to-break-out-20220712-0006.html" target="_blank">of the season.</a></strong> But every year, teams, players, and agents <strong>go around<a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-cant-punish-the-heat-for-tampering-and-kyle-lowry-20210809-0008.html" target="_blank"> tampering policies</a></strong> and agree to new deals just two minutes into this process.</p> 
<p>That makes the first couple of days kind of overwhelming. We see dozens of deals happening left and right, and it's hard to keep up with those many movements at times. Then,<strong> it all gets way too quiet </strong>while the rest of the dominoes continue to fall.</p> 
<p><a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-real-possibility-warriors-trade-for-kevin-durant-20220714-0003.html" target="_blank"><strong>Kevin Durant's trade request</strong></a> made plenty of teams and players pull the brakes on any negotiation. That's why there's still a handful of <strong>solid free agents</strong> that could suit any contending team.</p> 
<h2>NBA Rumors: The 3 Best Available Free Agents</h2> 
<h3>3. Dennis Schroder</h3> 
<div style="text-align:center"> 
 <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"> 
  <img data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="/__export/1657898570012/sites/bolavip/img/2022/07/15/dennis_schroder.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413">

</div> 
<p>A full year has gone by, and <strong>Dennis Schroder</strong> still has to deal with all the jokes about how he 'fumbled the bag.' That's why he's not going to take a discount ever again unless he gets a real shot to win an <strong>NBA championship.</strong></p> 
<p>Schroder is one of the best backup point guards in the league. He can give you a<strong> nightly 17 with 7 dimes</strong> and even step up to the starting lineup if need be. Once the Durant situation is settled, he'll be one of the names to keep an eye on.</p> 
<h3>2. Collin Sexton</h3> 
<div style="text-align:center"> 
 <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"> 
  <img data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="/__export/1657898553312/sites/bolavip/img/2022/07/15/collin_sexton.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"> 
  <figcaption>

 </figure> 
</div> 
<p><strong>Collin Sexton's</strong> situation is complicated. On the one hand, the <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers</strong> don't want to commit five years and $100 million+ on a player coming off a major injury. On the other, they can't afford to just let him walk for free.</p> 
<p>Sexton was supposed to gauge plenty of interest in free agency <strong>before suffering a season-ending injury</strong>. But he's still young and was playing the best basketball of his career before it, so he could be on any contending team's radar right now.</p> 
<h3>1. Miles Bridges</h3> 
<div style="text-align:center"> 
 <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"> 
  <img data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="/__export/1657898538850/sites/bolavip/img/2022/07/15/miles_bridges.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413">

</div> 
<p>There's a strong chance <strong>Miles Bridges</strong> doesn't set foot on an NBA hardwood ever again. He allegedly beat up his girlfriend, and the videos and pics are quite horrifying. Also, his off-court behavior raised several questions even before that scandal.</p> 
<p>But unfortunately, we've seen major sports teams <strong>look the other way on these issues way too often</strong>. If that's the case, then Bridges will get a big payday and continue his ascent after posting the best numbers of his career last season.</p>

NBA Rumors: Collin Sexton and the best available free agents

<p><strong><a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-kyrie-irving-takes-to-instagram-to-talk-about-issues-with-brooklyn-nets-20220627-0009.html" target="_blank">NBA</a> <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/when-does-the-2022-nba-free-agency-start-20220616-0010.html" target="_blank">free agency</a></strong> is ruthless. More often than not, players and teams don't agree on the terms of a new contract, and the <strong><a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-3-realistic-targets-for-the-lakers-in-free-agency-20220408-0013.html" target="_blank">harsh reality</a> comes knocking on their door</strong>. The player gets way less money than he wanted, or the team regrets letting him go.</p> 
<p>This year won't be the exception to that rule. Moreover, the<strong> restricted free agent </strong>class is set to be one of the most interesting we've seen in years, as multiple players may find a bigger payday somewhere else.</p> 
<p>That means that their teams would either be forced to match their offers, let them go for free, or work out a sign-and-trade deal. With that in mind, let's take a look at three<strong> young <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-blazers-spurs-and-potential-destinations-for-deandre-ayton-20220525-0014.html" target="_blank">restricted free agents</a> who may leave their teams in the offseason.</strong></p> 
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Young Stars That Could Change Teams This Summer</h2> 
<h3>3. Deandre Ayton</h3> 
<div style="text-align:center"> 
 <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"> 
  <img data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="/__export/1656427782734/sites/bolavip/img/2022/06/28/deandre_ayton.jpg_631782975.jpg" width="740" height="397">

 </figure> 
</div> 
<p><strong>Deandre Ayton </strong>and the <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong> just aren't on the same page. <strong>Monty Williams</strong> doesn't trust him down the stretch, and the organization doesn't think of him as a max-contract kind of player. But he'll still draw plenty of interest in the open market.</p> 
<p>The<strong> former first-overall pick</strong>&nbsp;made great strides as a defender and has already proven that he can be a 20+ point per game scorer while pulling down 10+ boards a night. He's young, athletic, and the Suns will likely be forced to sign and trade him.</p> 
<h3>2. Miles Bridges</h3> 
<div style="text-align:center"> 
 <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"> 
  <img data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="/__export/1656427760094/sites/bolavip/img/2022/06/28/miles_bridges_trade.jpg_631782975.jpg" width="740" height="397">

 </figure> 
</div> 
<p><strong>Miles Bridges</strong> broke out as a scorer last season. His chemistry with <strong>LaMelo Ball </strong>is evident, and he could turn out to be one of the best two-way players in the league if given more touches on the offensive end of the floor.</p> 
<p>However, the<strong> Charlotte Hornets</strong> aren't sure about his status as a max-contract kind of guy, especially after some off-court controversies. Bridges will still gauge league-wide interest, although whether someone will give him the max or not remains to be seen.</p> 
<h3>1. Collin Sexton</h3> 
<div style="text-align:center"> 
 <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"> 
  <img data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="/__export/1656427744373/sites/bolavip/img/2022/06/28/collin_sexton.jpg_631782975.jpg" width="740" height="397">

 </figure> 
</div> 
<p><strong>Collin Sexton</strong> was a trade candidate last season before suffering a knee injury. The <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers</strong> are committed to <strong>Darius Garland</strong> as their point guard for the future and still made the playoffs without Sexton, so they could look to move him.</p> 
<p>Sexton was <strong>playing the best ball of his career </strong>and finally becoming an efficient scorer. He's young and has plenty of upside, but his shot selection and the fact that he's coming off a major injury may hurt his market value.</p>
