The Los Angeles Lakers have already had a busy offseason, but they are reportedly talking to an Eastern Conference team to get a scoring wing on the roster in what would be a blockbuster deal.

Superstar Luka Doncic has already been locked up for the long term, but LA must do whatever they can to capitalize while the 26-year-old looks to be entering his prime.

In other news, fellow superstar LeBron James was at a Nike event overseas before a fan rushed the stage to try and get some one-on-one time with the King in a strange, and frankly illegal, manner. Luckily, security stepped in before the fan, who showed no obvious malicious intent but still violated the privacy of James by charging him, made contact.

Finally, an NBA insider highlighted the Lakers' biggest weaknesses heading into the new year. The glaring deficiency in the purple and gold was put on full display during last year's first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
