For years now, the Los Angeles Lakers have banked on the lure of LA to help woo free agents: the beautiful weather, the business opportunities, the chance to become close with the Hollywood Elite.
However, with the ever growing reach of social media making the world smaller and smaller as we know it, free agents have spurned the Purple and Gold for greener pastures.
That said, Reddit user vulgarswami_ argues that “LA is still a legit FA destination to grow your brand. Marcello Huertas is in the new Star Wars movie.”
Whether or not it really is Huertas, who Los Angeles fans have begun to call “The Catalyst,” remains to be determined but it does look an awful lot like him before he got his recent haircut.
