Your Los Angeles Lakers, sporting a miserable 4-10 record to kick off the season, certainly don't seem particularly likely to make the playoffs this season, Even if they do manage to get there, L.A. as currently comprised lacks the horses to get it out of the first round of the playoffs.
It makes sense in the abstract that Los Angeles is considering new additions. L.A. recently worked out wings Tony Snell and Joe Wieskamp, and last month took a look at veteran swingman Maurice Harkless.
Shams Charania of The Athletic appeared on Bally Sports program "The Rally" to reveal that the Lakers may be sniffing around a free agent who, while also undoubtedly the most talented player still available, appears to have committed crimes so cruel that he has yet to land on an NBA roster, and a question remains as to whether or not he'll ever play in the league again.
