Los Angeles Lakers fans were hopeful their team would snag one of the top small forwards in free agency this off-season in a 2015 class that included LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, DeMarre Carrroll, and Tobias Harris.
Instead, the front office ignored the position they were arguably the weakest at and set their sights on big men and guards.
With training camp opening later this month, the spotlight has shifted back to the small forward position, and recent reports have the Lakers closing in on a deal with a 35-year-old Metta World Peace.
