The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in acquiring Bradley Beal if he becomes available via a buyout. Following the addition of DeAndre Ayton, the Lakers are an attractive destination for stars.

Despite rumors and speculation that LeBron James could request a trade away from the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason, some in the NBA reportedly aren't convinced that he really wants to play elsewhere.

On the very unlikely chance that LeBron James and the Lakers go down a road that leads to a buyout, the Cleveland Cavaliers would almost certainly throw their hat in the ring. How much money would King James want from his hometown team?

Newly signed Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton used his introductory press conference on Tuesday to highlight how excited he is to join a team that features stars such as LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

In his first public interview since being traded, NBA big man Deandre Ayton spoke up about his move to Los Angeles. As he made his opening statement to the media, Ayton confirmed that the Lakers are all-in on the championship pursuit.

Deandre Ayton and Luka Doncic began their NBA journeys in the same 2018 draft class. Ayton was the No. 1 overall pick selected by the Phoenix Suns. Doncic was picked third by the Atlanta Hawks and immediately traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
