The Los Angeles Lakers have re-signed Jaxson Hayes, bringing back the big man in another major free agency move. The biggest question mark this offseason was the front court and L.A. doesn't appear to be done adding pieces to their roster just yet.

LeBron James being traded doesn't sound plausible given his long list of accolades, but an NBA insider reported that the King may want out of L.A.
