In what has been an unpredictable offseason for the Los Angeles Lakers, a former breakout guard has been claimed by the divisional rival Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old was waived initially to make room for the Marcus Smart signing.
Additionally, a former NBA All-Star accused superstar LeBron James of using steroids earlier in his career. These absurd allegations came from the former guard's podcast, speaking on James' tenure with the Miami Heat.
Finally, superstar Luka Doncic touched on his future with the Lakers. So much talk has been surrounding the Slovenian point guard's tenure in LA lately since he will become eligible for a four-year, $228 million max contract extension on Aug. 2.
