The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly targeting a Golden State Warriors free agent. The guard is 'very much on the Lakers' radar' but injuries have marred much of his last three seasons.
Additionally, a team insider has a major update on the trade rumors surrounding LeBron James heading to the Dallas Mavericks. The King would join former All-Star teammates Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis if a deal were to pull through.
In more news surrounding the all-time leading scorer, James reportedly has specific hopes for his final NBA season, whenever that may be. As the 40-year-old seems likely to play in his 23rd NBA season, the timeline after that gets much murkier.

There were some whispers connecting Gary Payton II to the Lakers even before he signed with Bill Duffy. I can safely say he's very much on the Lakers' radar.
